Social Differentiation and Stratification
The Science of Society (RLE Social Theory): An Introduction to Sociology
Two main criteria have guided the selection and presentation of the material for this text-book. Firstly, there is the claim that sociology is a science. Throughout, the emphasis has been on presenting sociological perspectives rather than conveying a mass of factual information. Science is essentially analytical. And sociology, if it is to justify its claim to be a science, must be more than simply 'political arithmetic', counting heads and prov…

Social values and the choice of careers in industry
This paper reports the results of a questionnaire survey of students at Bath University. Those doing social science were more anti‐industrial in their social values than students of management, engineering and economics. Social science students tended to prefer non‐industrial jobs congruent with their values. Anti‐industrial values were highly correlated with career choice after controlling for degree course. It was concluded that choice of cours…
Environmentalism, Values, and Social Change
An Introduction to Sociology
Work and Technology
Environmentalism, Middle-Class Radicalism and Politics
The Reward System in British and American Science
Styles of Thought: Science, Romanticism and Modernization
Technology, Rationality and Domination
One of the most distinctive features of recent radical protest has been a growing opposition to technology and the technological society. In some of its forms, this goes far beyond a condemnation of the abuses of science to an attack not only on rationality but on reason itself., There is nothing particularly new of course about romanticist anti-science movements.2 In contrast to the cold impersonality of rational calculation and planning, such m…
Human Societies: An Introduction to Sociology
A Sociology of Work in Industry
Alienation and Automation
Technology, Class, and Politics: The Case of the Process Workers
Marked regional differences in industrial and political attitudes were found among process workers in highly automated plants. It is argued that a major explanation is to be found not in the technology but in factors outside the factory gates, notably in the processes of political socialization
Occupational Socialization and Choice: The Effects of Sandwich Courses
The influence of sandwich courses on occupational socialization and choice is minimal. The key is to be found in the search for an acceptable identity. Occupation can provide this but only for a minority: for such, future commitment to an occupation feeds back and moulds and sustains the development of the self-concept through the process of anticipatory socialization. It is career commitment, not the course, which is the major determinant of ide…

The Science of Society
The Productivity of Scientists in Industrial Research Laboratories
An important theme in the sociology of science has been a concern with the creativity and productivity of scientists.1 On the one hand, there has been some anxiety lest the growing scale of science and the consequent tendency for research to be more highly organized may limit the freedom believed to be essential for scientific creativity.2 On the other hand, there are those who have stressed the role of the creative individual, and have explored …
