Occupational Differentials in Physical Status
A Note on the Progressive Generalization of Data
Although generalization is universally relied on in all scientific thought and is prerequisite to it, many students of scientific methods have neglected to analyze generalizing behavior. This is understandable in view of the fact that generalizing thought begins early in childhood and continues at simple or complex levels through the years of elementary school, high school and college. Most such generalization is clearly pre-critical, following t…

Hypothesis vs. Problem in Scientific Investigation
It is widely stated that a hypothesis is necessary to the execution of a scientific investigation. However, the dogmatic acceptance of this, as of every other proposition, is to be condemned until its implications have been adequately explored. It is the writer's view that hypotheses are not prerequisite to every study which contributes to organized and systematic knowledge of the observable world. It is also concluded that the recognition of a p…

A Procedure for Determining Expectancy of in-Category Selection
The Method of Elimination in Scientific Study
Two essentially different approaches to “truth” should be recognized, although they are not in every respect and on all occasions mutually exclusive. If truth be taken to mean the “most adequate idea (statement, explanation, interpretation, expression) a mind (plural number of minds) is able to perceive at any given time,” the process may, first, be one of immediate intuition, insight or inspiration in which conclusions are arrived at without con…
An Empirical Scale of Prestige Status of Occupations
Average prestige status ratings for ioo representative occupations are presented in the form of a numerical scale. Government officials and professional workers received the highest ratings; small business men, salesmen, clerical workers and skilled workers were given medium ratings; and unskilled workers were given lowest positions. Illustrations are presented of the use of the ratings in the identification of occupational strata, and in correla…

Some Relationships between Intelligence and Geographical Mobility
O NE of the most controversial and persistent problems in the field of sociology is that of rural-urban differences in intelligence and the effect of migration on such differences.' It is widely believed that important differences in mental ability and learning ability exist between urban and rural populations and that migrants from rural areas tend to be more intelligent than those who do not migrate, while migrants from cities to rural areas ar…
The Greatest Common Component in Science
Two different aspects of knowledge are frequently distinguished by the logician and philosopher: the non-repetitive and the repetitive. However, this distinction is imperfectly supported by careful observation, since no two objects or events are known to be exactly alike, and no two objects or events are completely different. In spite of this relativisitic state of affairs, there is some value in distinguishing between the thinker or student who …

University Student Intelligence and Occupation of Father
HE EVIDENCE on the relationship between level of performance on intelligence tests and occupational affiliation has generally revealed a close positive correlation.' A variety of different studies have been made, including those of intelligence of children by occupation of parent. These embrace studies of nursery school children, elementary school children, high school pupils and students at college or university level. Several of the investigati…

Similarities of Marriage Partners in Intelligence
HIS paper concerning the intelligence of marriage partners adds something to our general knowledge of assortative mating, homogamy, social selection, or preferential mating. Such studies have simply sought to determine the amount of similarity of marriage partners in intelligence, as measured by coefficients of correlation or other devices, but they have several implications for sociologists. Preferential mating has some bearing on the problems o…

Juvenile Delinquency
A Note on Stability in Questionnaire Response
Fifty students, twenty-two boys and twenty-eight girls, in second-, third, and fourth-year college work, were tested for stability of response to the same questionnaire consisting of sixty items. The study, closely similar to a recent one by Professor Read Bain, resulted in substantially the same results on the three major types of questions: factual family items, factual personal items, and subjective personal items. About one-fourth of the item…
A Comparison of White and Indian Student Attitudes Toward the Negro
It is important for students of race prejudice to know the attitudes of various racial groups towards other racial groups. Ideally, comparisons should be made between the attitudes of each group toward itself and toward each other group in the experiment, but this is not always feasible because of the lack of satisfactory techniques for study, or because comparable groups of subjects are not satisfactorily represented in any available population.…

A Study of Change of Attitudes Toward the Negro
Three studies have been reported on high school pupils. Schlorff' reports a study of the attitudes of 425 high school students by the method of paired comparisons. The attitudes were influenced by a modified curriculum in a civics class, during 15 periods at weekly intervals. The group subjected to the experiment revealed a reliable gain in liberality of attitudes. Campbell and Stover2 report a study of 24 ninth grade girls, tested on the Bogardu…
