The job satisfaction of older workers
Older workers re‐entering the workforce and those changing jobs are coming to play an increasingly important role in the labor force, especially as part‐time workers. Yet the work orientation and job satisfaction of these workers has not been studied. Do ‘situational’ factors such as skill and pay matter for this subgroup of workers, and if so, which ones? If significant factors exist, can their effect be explained by the mediating influence of ‘…
Bureaucratic legitimacy and the drug menace: Notes on the Marihuana Tax Act
In recent papers Galliher and Walker argue that much of the conventional wisdom about the Marihuana Tax Act is methodologically ill‐founded and theoretically misleading. According to them, structural pressures in the form of racial and economic conflict account for the legislation. The data discussed in this paper indicate more evidence than heretofore acknowledged for Dickson's position that the Bureau's support for the Act was a way to legitima…
Masculinity and Delinquency
A strong positive association between masculinity and delinquency is on important assumption in theories which explain why (1) males are more delinquent than females and (2) females are becoming increasingly delin‐quent. Self‐report measures obtained from 1002 junior and senior high school students from a large Southeastern city constitute the data for an examination of the first of these relationships. Factor analytic procedures were used to ide…
Parent and Peer Influences on Adolescents' Gender Expectations
Gender Convergence and Delinquency
Theory about the relationship of gender roles to delinquency illustrates the taken-for-granted assumption that as role expectations of people become more alike, their behavior becomes more similar. This paper tests the hypothesis that delinquency of androgynous and undifferentiated males and females is more similar in frequency than that of traditional males and females. Self-reported delinquency and self-ratings on scales of traditionally femini…
An interactionist interpretation of sex differences in violence
An interactionist analysis of violence processes is used as a framework to account for sex differences in parameters of violent behavior. Starting with the observation that violence is often an outcome of negotiations of situated identity, sex differences in the extent of violence and the selection of victim are interpreted. In addition, the symmetry of social relationships specifies the processes generating interpersonal violence. The paper argu…
Intrafamily Conflict and Delinquency
Using self-report data on delinquency, this article examines two questions. First, is the relationship between family conflict and delinquency stronger for girls than for boys? Second, is conflict in the home directly related to delinquency or is the relationship mediated by one or more of the following variables: (1) parental supervision; (2) identification with parents; (3) beliefs about the law; and (4) social support for delinquency? The effe…
Gender Roles and Delinquency
This paper uses path analytic procedures to compare merits of two different theories of the relationships between traditional sex roles and delinquency involvement. A self-report method was used with 1,002 students in grades eight through twelve of the public schools in a large Southeastern city. Two separate measures of delinquency were used, one for aggressive offenses and one for property offenses. Both the theory of opportunity and social con…
Validating the Langner Scale: A Critical Review
The validation of the Langner scale of psychiatric impairment by the known groups procedure is critically reviewed and found to be inappropriate. We suggest that the procedure is compromised by 1) the relationship between nonmedical variables and admission to mental hospitals, 2) an inconsistency between theory and method and 3) the confounding of patients ' responses by the hospital setting. A consequence of this assumed rigor of the procedure i…

Sex roles and criminality: Science or conventional wisdom
Gender Role Expectations of Juveniles
This paper discusses the development of two five-item Likert scales that classify juveniles' gender role expectations as highly traditional to nontraditional. One is composed of behavioral expectations that juveniles define as traditionally feminine and the other is composed of expectations they define as traditionally masculine. With a sample of junior and senior high school students, correlational and factor analyses of scale items were conduct…
Gender Roles and Female Criminality Some Critical Comments
This paper investigates the recent claim that women are becoming increasingly involved in aggressive or serious criminal activities. On the basis of an a priori classification of aggressive crimes, a review of three different types of data reveals no unambiguous pattern of change in women's criminality. Several theoretical problems which hove inhibited the systematic development of the relationships between gender roles and criminality are discus…
