Teachers' Generalized Expectations of Children of Divorce
This study examined teachers' generalized expectations for children living with their divorced vs married mothers. Teachers held significantly more negative expectations on 14 expectancy variables for children living with divorced mothers than for children living in traditional two-parent families. Teachers also had more negative expectations for boys living with divorced mothers than for girls from the same family setting, but there were no diff…
The Effects of Unequal Covariances on the Tukey WSD Test
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of violating the assumption of homogeneity of covariance for the Tukey WSD test on the familywise rate of Type I error, when all other assumptions of the test were met. Determinations of the empirical significance level were made using computerized Monte Carlo simulations varying the number of treatment groups ( k = 3 and 5), sample size ( n = 5, 15, and 25), and degree of covariance heterogen…

Microecology
Failure in Sport
That failure, its threat and its occurrence, is endemic to social organization and social life is a truism about which both sociologists and laymen alike can concur. Yet, as a socially problematic phenomenon it is one to which sociologists themselves, as in the case of sport generally, have given relatively scant attention or consideration. Thus, the following will address itself to some of the relationships between the two: (1) the occurrence of…

Replacement Processes in Work Organizations
The concept of organizational replacement and the utility of data from professional football is examined. It is hypothesized and found that organizational positions systematically vary in their replacement rates. This variation is directly associated with positional visibility (the ease and availability of precise evaluation techniques for the assessment of positional task performance). Visibility is also found to relate to salaries and the racia…

Factorial Composition of the Short Form of the Stanford-Binet with Culturally Disadvantaged Head Start Children
This study reports a factor analysis of the 1960 revision of the Stanford-Binet (Short Form). The Binet was administered to 363 children ranging in age from 3.0 to 5.8 yr. with a mean of 4.3 yr. All Ss were classified as culturally disadvantaged. The mean IQ for this group was 91.6. Three factors were found—a general one and two specific factors of visual ability and judgment and verbal ability. The study was compared with Ramsey and Vane's study…
Factorial Composition of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test with Head Start Children
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test was administered to 354 Head Start children with a mean age of 4.4 yr. and a mean PPVT IQ of 75.73. A principal components analysis suggested an interpretation of a general factor of receptive vocabulary ability. Seven other factors with eigenvalues greater than one were found. These two were interpreted as possibly being named nouns and progressive verbs. Not ruled out, however, is their being due to error and…

Sex Differences in Reliability and Congruent Validity of Stanford-Binet Short Form and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test
Note on Reliability and Congruent Validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test with Disadvantaged Preschool Children
Because of its non-verbal nature, ease of administration and scoring the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test has been used widely with Head Start children. Here are reported data on reliability and validity of this test for a preschool, disadvantaged sample enrolled in a full-year Head Start program. During the 1967-68 academic year 159 Ss were individually administered the Peabody; Form B was given in the Fall and Form A in the Spring. During the 19…
Olympic Games Competition
The Scaling of Gaming
Sociological employment of games and the game concept as both metaphor and model (Manning, 1967, 1968) has been as frequent as it has been fruitful. Less common, but possibly of equal fertility, is the empirical investigation of games themselves. If taking games seriously has been beyond the concern of most sociological investigators (however, see Avedon and Sutton-Smith, 1971; Luschen, 1970), this is certainly not the case for the many who immer…

The 'Family' as a Sociological Problem
Definitions of the family are considered as a source of familial social problems, and the conceptual distinction between families and households is examined. Families are ordinarily conceptualized in terms of kinship, and may involve at least three kinds of kin: conventional, discretionary, and Active; households are constituted by residential propinquity and domestic functions, and not necessarily kinsmen. An alternative focus, people living tog…

Toward a Sociology of Toys
ALMOST from the moment of birth and for many years thereafter, children are in frequent and intense contact with toys in great variety, of diverse type, complexity, and composition. These toys are, from a very early age, an important part of the child's experientially perceived reality, operating in several related ways over and above their more manifest recreational purpose.' For example, they function as socializing mechanisms, as educational d…
Sarcasm as Sociation
S'inspirant de Simmel, l'auteur voit dans le sarcasme l'une des formes de la sociabilité‐un type de processus social‐que I'on peut soumettre à l'analyse sociologique. Sa discussion préliminaire traite de la forme systématique, cette géométrie simmélienne du monde social, de la fonction et des corrélatifs structuraux de l'activité sociale. Le sarcasme se manifeste surtout dans les relations directes; il résulte plutôt de la définition sociale d'un…
Catholics, Calvinists, and Rational Control
Contemporary studies of the Weberian thesis are found wanting through their vulgarization of the concept of rationality in the Western world. A comparison of Catholics and Calvinists, using Seeman's Personal Powerlessness Scale as a measure of rational control, shows differences opposite from those suggested by the Protestant Ethic; possible explanations of this finding are discussed

Covert Political Rebellion As Ressentiment
The contradictory findings of studies of adolescent political rebellion as overt oppositional action are noted and an alternative passive model is suggested which is linked to Scheler's theory of ressentiment via the powerlessness variant of alienation. Secondary analysis of data on adolescent attitudes tentatively suggests the validity of this alternative conceptualization as it relates to father-oriented adolescent political rebellion qua non-i…
