Photo elicitation: Origins, development, topics and forms
This paper is an overview of photo elicitation that shows the distribution of PE studies among different subject areas. The paper presents practical considerations and concludes that photo elicitation enlarges the possibilities of conventional empirical research by producing a different kind of information as well as more extensive data that are generated by more conventional research methods
"What problems do you confront?" an approach to doing qualitative research
An Introduction to Causal Analysis in Sociology
Introduction to Factor Analysis: What It Is and How to Do It
Describes the mathematical and logical foundations at a level which does not presume advanced mathematical or statistical skills, illustrating how to do factor analysis with several of the more popular packaged computer programmes
Statistical Concepts and Methods

Stressful Life Events: Their Nature and Effects
The Three Evaluations of Social Welfare Programs
As new and innovative social welfare programs are being attempted, there has been an increased concern with evaluating the effectiveness of such programs. To what degree is a new program effective? For which kinds of clients is each type of program effective? What elements are crucial in a program which has been judged to be effective? These are just a few of the questions that evaluators would like to answer. There is a large literature on evalu…
Exploitation in Migrant Labour Camps
As is well known, a major thesis of Marx's Catital is that the capitalist exploits workers by paying them a wage which only sustains them, while at the same time extracting surplus value from their endeavours. In developing this idea, Marx outlined numerous instances of exploitation, not only in terms of wages, but in repect to working conditions. As members of the working class have formed unions and improved their economic situation, it is diff…

Observation Errors in Sociological Surveys: A Model and a Method
In sociological surveys, respondents occasionally give false answers to factual questions which inquire if the respondent has some attribute. The social scientist may wish to correct estimates of the proportion of respondents having the attribute or he may wish to know the amount of error which is occurring in his survey. These two objectives can be achieved by a probabilistic model which assumes (1) that respondents have some probability of givi…
The computer simulation of sociological surveys
A computer simulation of a sociologist conducting sample surveys was devised in order to construct a general theoretical framework for the investigation of social phenomena, to study the implications of any sociological theory of surveys, to explore the utility of different methods of analyzing survey data, to create a Turing process, and to train graduate sociology students. The model of the simulation had five components: population growth and …

Labor Relations in the Postal Service
Examining in the concrete the increasingly important labor relations problems of government employees, this article describes labor-management relations in the United States Postal Service, both historically and as recently affected by the two executive orders of January 1962, relating to personnel and labor relations in the executive branch of the federal government. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
Work Behavior in a Service Industry
Two general patterns of work behavior in the postal service are described. These are (1) the pattern of sorting and delivering mail and (2) the various hierarchical relationships among letter carriers. Actual behavior is determined by official rules and regulations supplemented and modified by unofficial norms and standards. Parallels are drawn between these patterns in the postal service and those found in other settings. The persistence of thes…
