Role
Social role is a critical analytical tool for sociology and social psychology because it provides the nexus between social structure and individual behavior. The term “role” is a metaphor that comes from the theater and Shakespeare's famous statement about people playing roles with entrances and exits throughout their lives. Social structures consist of roles or performance parts that provide vehicles for the organization of selves and social rel…
Neurosociology
Neurosociology is an inquiry into the social dimensions of functioning brains and the fusion of brain functioning with minded behavior and self processes. Neurosociology puts individualistic tabula rasa theories of knowledge to rest. The environment may trigger responses, but the brain selects, interprets, edits, and changes the very quality of incoming information to fit its own requirements and limitations. Much of this “revisionism” is produce…

Introduction
Neurosociology
"Recently, neuroscientists have presented new research which has a direct impact on many areas of Social Psychology." "This groundbreaking work integrates areas of George Herbert Mead's social behaviorism with current neuroscience. The chapters in this volume demonstrate how current work on mirror neurons supports the basic tenets of the American pragmatists' focus on the priority of motor behavior."--Jacket
Mind
In common parlance, mind means cognitive intelligence, self‐consciousness, mentality, or reason, all of which were once considered unique to humans. While some animal forms exhibit these capacities to some extent, only in humans are they developed as primary adaptive mechanisms. In more academic circles, the use of the term mind rather than its other synonyms recalls its place in broader debates in western theories of knowledge. This is especiall…
Sociology and the Real World
Mutual Interests, Different Lenses
As reflective thinkers, symbolic interactionists may well be curious about the organ with which we think. Leading neuroscientists are quite aware that a working brain depends on other brains. This article considers selected neuroscience approaches to topics traditionally addressed by symbolic interactionists including some confirmations, refinements, and challenges from current neuroscience. Confirmations support features of Mead's 'objective rea…

Asymmetrical Role-Taking
Franks's social psychological model of oppressive situations and asymmetric role-taking offers a new way of understanding the predicaments faced by battered women. Unlike individualistic or single-factor explanations, the model suggests that women faced with a particular combination of situational pressures and relationship inequities are especially vulnerable to distressful emotions and self-esteem difficulties. Survey data from 66 battered wome…
Emotions and Violence
This text examines the causes of violence and destructive conflict through an exploration of human interaction in situations ranging from a psychotherapy session and marital quarrels to television game shows
Autonomy and Conformity in Cooley's Self-Theory
The totality of Cooley's contribution to self-theory, as reported in most sociology texts and much of the contemporary self literature, is erroneously equated with his concept of the 'looking-glass self', in its passive, dependent, and chameleon form. In this paper, we highlight Cooley's own qualifications to the looking-glass self, which properly place this popular concept in the context of Cooley's broader and more assertive view of self-concep…

Introduction to the Special Issue on the Sociology of Emotions
Efficacious Action and Social Approval as Interacting Dimensions of Self-Esteem
The importance of self-esteem to theoretical, evaluative and policy oriented research is stressed, which puts a premium on an adequate conceptualization and operationalization of self-esteem. A literature review is presented suggesting that various writers express dissatisfaction with a model of self-esteem which gives pre-emptory emphasis to the approval of others as its only source. It is concluded from these writings that feedback from one's o…

Introduction to the Special Issue on the Sociology of Emotions
The Interaction Between Role Structures and Self-Conceptions in Fostering Different Types of Self-Esteem in Innovative and Traditional Elementary Schools
A two-dimensional model of inner and outer self-esteem is discussed wherein inner self-esteem is hypothesized to be an outcome of self-evaluations of performance in prominent role identities. Outer self-esteem is hypothesized to be related to self-evaluations of both prominent and nonprominent role identities. The research context is a comparison of the different processes facilitating self-esteem in innovative schools (emphasis on student-initia…

Alternatives to Collins' Use of Emotion in the Theory of Ritualistic Chains
The Person Behind The Word
Careful consideration of Mead's theory of universals proves to be a corrective to a number of tendencies evident in the work of at least some influential contemporary symbolic interactionists. Mead avoids any realistic hypostatization of separate universals ('meanings,' 'forms,' or 'essences' while at the same time eschewing nominalistic and conventionalistic views of language. His principle of the objective reality of perspectives (1932:161-175)…

Differential Exposure to Courses in Two Majors and Differences in Students' Value Responses
This research note presents data regarding differences in student responses to value statements and shows that the pattern of change differs depending on the major and the number of courses taken in that major. Sociology and business majors are compared since they typically differ along a conservativeliberal social values continuum. This allows a cohort design that can rule out maturation within the general culture (Telford and Plant, 1968) and t…
