    Open AccessMark Lubell, Arnold Vedlitz et al.ARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly2006Cited by: 45References: 49

    This article attempts to respond to Ostrom’s call for a behavioral model of collective action by generalizing the collective interest model of mass political action to explain citizen policy support and personal behavioral intentions in the context of air quality policy. The collective action problems inherent in air quality policy provide a critical research setting for testing hypotheses of the collective interest model. Key elements of the col…

    Information from the 1976 Survey of Income and Education are used to explore nativity differences in the levels of functional impairment and access to some kinds of medical resources among elderly Mexican Americans.

  • Ideal Types and the Idealization Strategy

    Joseph Lopreato, Letitia T Alston et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1970Cited by: 26References: 7

    This paper is critical of some uses made of the and of the fruitless efforts to grasp the significance of this basic tool of science through the work of Max Weber. Weber, a genius in many respects, did not have a scientifically mature grasp of the class of logical devices to which the ideal type belongs, namely, idealizations, which in the older sciences represent an inevitable, almost commonplace, research strategy. Idealizations, we suggest, ma…
