A history of the mid-south sociological association
Prior to his death in 2018, Marc Matre, Archivist and the longest serving Secretary-Treasurer of the Mid-South Sociological Association (MSSA), submitted a paper to the journal on the history of the MSSA. Reviewers wanted revisions that Marc was unable to complete because of his infirmity, and his last professional wish was that the journal and members of the association finish the work he had started. The following is that revision. Biographical…
Race and Religiosity
Race, Social Ties, Social Support, and Subjective Well-Being
Subjective well-being for blacks and whites is hypothesized to vary by amount of social ties to family, kin, and community and by amount of social support. Evidence from a cross-sectional survey of residents (n = 611) of a southern metropolitan community is used to test the hypotheses. Well-being is measured using Cantril's (1963) self-anchoring scale of life satisfaction. Hypotheses are partially confirmed, with significant racial differences ob…
Social background, emotionality, and belief as predictors of punitiveness toward deviants
This research addresses the general question of which factors other than evidence determine the outcomes of criminal justice processing. Specifically, it investigates the relationships between social background factors, beliefs and emotions, and punitiveness toward deviants. The results offer support for the proposition that differing backgrounds are systematically linked with different views about human nature and society. The results also suppo…
Property maintenance and residential integration
While much evidence has been compiled to dispel the common fear of value depreciation subsequent to entry of blacks into previously white neighborhoods, little is known of the effect of racial residential integration on property maintenance. This paper examines the relationship between race of occupant and property maintenance in a racially integrated, middle‐class subdivision in the South. The analysis indicates that black residents maintained t…
Residential Segregation in Southwestern Metropolitan Areas
The index of dissimilarity is used to measure residential segregation of Anglos, Mexican-Americans, and Blacks in 46 SMSAs in the Southwest. Results indicate that Blacks are the most segregated group while Mexican-Americans are the least segregated. A model is developed to predict the levels of segregation. The model is satisfactory in explaining the segregation of Anglos from Blacks and Mexican-Americans but not in explaining the segregation of …
