Rule and Custom as Individual Variations of Behavior Distributed Upon a Continuum of Conformity
Since conformity is a fact of central importance for sociology and the other social sciences, a knowledge of the facts of conformity phenomena is essential. Such societal concepts as folkways, mores, and fashions are vague and obscure and leas to confusion and inaccuracy. Specific questions essential to clear understanding of conformity are whether uniformity and conformity exist in the behavior of individuals under observation, in what respect p…

Culture Conflict and Delinquency. II. Culture Conflict versus the Individual as Factors in Delinquency
T HE concept of culture, as I understand it, treats human behavior in such manner as to bring into relief those activities in which many individuals behave in the same, or in closely similar, fashion. As point of view discovered by ethnologists and sociologists, it has distinct value for large scale observations of human phenomena. It leaves out of account, however, an equally important aspect, namely, the phases of behavior in which each individ…

The Nature of Institutions
T HE term has long been one of the descriptive categories of sociology and political science. Upon looking over treatises dealing with this concept, however, one is impressed by its lack of fruitfulness. The content which it implies has been of little use in helping us to understand actual human situations. Accepted out of traditional usage, the term institution has not been subjected to that scrutiny which is usually applied to working scientifi…
The psychological bases of social science
The Measurement and Motivation of Atypical Opinion in a Certain Group
Terms denoting political attitudes, such as 'conservative,' 'liberal,' 'radical,' and 'reactionary,' have long been familiar both in popular usage and in the language of political science. Though sufficiently understood for ordinary discourse, their use is likely to lead to a confusion between a political opinion and the type of person who holds the opinion. There is considerable agreement as to what is meant by a radical view; but is there such …

The Group Fallacy in Relation to Social Science
The manner of thinking in terms of the obsolete crowd-mind theory still persists. Speaking in terms of collectivity is alluring; but it is description, not explanation. Social organism metaphors, group-mind theories, and the like never lead beyond themselves, nor serve to reveal causation. The group fallacy defined.-This fallacy consists in substituting the group for the individual as a principle of explanation. The group concept may be phrased i…
