Words of Racial Reference in a Survey of Black Dentists
What Dental Patients Don't Know About Preventive Care
Dr. Linn reports data from his survey which indicate that the task of teaching patients to prevent oral disease may be enormous
Women Dentists: Career and Family
Mailed questionnares were returned by 785 women dentists who had graduated from U.S. dental schools. Career did not tend to stand in the way of marriage and family: 81 percent were or had been married and, among the latter, 71 percent had children. However, marriage increased the likelihood of interruptions and cutting down the time in work. Yet, retirement at a young age was relatively rare. Commitment and satisfaction evidently tend to keep mar…
An Appraisal of Sociological Research on the Public's Attitudes Toward Fluoridation
Here, an intriguing approach for studying the opposition to fluoridation of drinking water is presented a study of the impact of sociological scores on opposition or on approval
Social Stratification of Discussions About Local Affairs
Role Behaviors in Two Dental Clinics: A Trial of Nadels' Criteria
As a sovereign concept in sociology and anthropology, social role is central to social psychological interpretations of behaviors and attitudes as well as being a major instrument for mapping social structure. Role as used here stands for a series of behaviors and attitudes expressing fixed, regular, or patterned cultural norms or values in the relation of one person to another which are appropriate to the person's tasks or function vis-a-vis the…
Social Meanings of Dental Appearance
Reference Group: A Case Study in Conceptual Diffusion
THEORY in the physical sciences has been built about attempts to reconcile diverse empirical findings through parsimonious explanations. Appropriate to its neophyte scientific development, current sociological theory mainly represents efforts at formulating basic building blocks of concepts or typologies with which social phenomena may be studied. It is questionable what order and progress in research and theoretical formulations would have arise…
Lives in Distress: The Paths of the Elderly to the Psychiatric Ward
Psychiatric and Institutional Implications of Hyperactive Behaviour Manifested By Functional Psychotic Patients
Agents, Timing, and Events Leading to Mental Hospitalization
Mental patients manifest a range of very unusual behavior before they are hospitalized. During this time, the persons about them somehow tolerate this behavior. We shall consider some of the familial and status conditions which qualify this tolerance
Patients' Socioeconomic Characteristics and Release from a Mental Hospital
Associations of socioeconomic factors with the probability of release within the first year of hospitalization during a period of extensive use of drugs were compared with associations for the prior period. Characteristics such as marital status, race, sex, job stability, and church attendance were found to be associated less in the later period. Characteristics such as whether or not female patients had friends or male patients had military serv…

The Influence of Liberalism and Conservatism on Voting Behavior
While self-styled liberals and conservatives are to be found in both of the major political parties, those who call themselves liberals appear to feel more at home with the Democrates, and conservatives with the Republicans. Conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans, on the other hand, tend to stay away from the polls or to bolt their party more often than their opposite numbers. Independent voters appear to follow the Democrats as far as vo…
Arrearage in Instalment Selling
A sample of over twenty thousand persons buying merchandise on credit by mail was asked to fill out a short questionnaire. Answers to these questions were related to the proportion of cases in arrears on their payments six months after the accounts were opened. Of seventeen factors originally studied, four are herein considered. The four relate to age, number of years at present address, residence, and marital status and were called "character" f…
