Valuing Access to U . S . Public Lands: A Pricing Experiment to Inform Federal Policy
Objectives We report on a nation‐wide study conducted for federal land‐management agencies. Congress mandated a new annual pass for recreational access to U . S . public lands. Methods To assist policymakers in setting a price for the new pass, we administered a national telephone survey with more than 2,000 respondents. Using “contingent valuation” methods, we model willingness to pay for the pass at different prices. Our research design lets us…
Political Communication and Statistical Interaction: Reexamining Issue, Image, Involvement, and Interpersonal Conversation
Statistical interactions present complex problems in analysis and interpretation for research on communication. Recently, Pinkleton (1999) examined how the relevance of political conversation is associated with issue attention, image attention, and situational involvement. He reported significant interactions but did not fully interpret them. Our reexamination of his findings provides tips for avoiding common pitfalls in analyzing statistical int…
Economy and Religion in the Neolithic Revolution: Material Surplus and the Proto-Religious Ethic
Does economic change stimulate religious transformation, or do new religious ideas inspire economic innovation? Since Marx and Weber, social theorists have considered this question, most often in regard to modern societies. Here, the authors examine archaeological evidence from 40 ancient sites in the Near East, where horticulture and herding first arose. Results suggest that economic surplus preceded two types of religious artifacts. In the auth…

Work Satisfaction Under Yugoslav Self-Management: On Participation, Authority, and Ownership
After reviewing the history and current practice of self-management in Yugoslavia, we examine net effects on work satisfaction from being a self-management delegate, a manager or supervisor, or the owner of a private business, along with other variables. Data are from a 1983 probability sample in the most industrialized of Yugoslavia's six republics. Consistent with U.S. studies, older, more educated, female workers, those in the majority ethnic …

The Dimension(s) of Democracy: Further Issues in the Measurement and Effects of Political Democracy
We test whether Bollen's (1980) index of political democracy is bidimensional or unidimensional. Theoretical considerations suggest that political liberty and popular sovereignty are distinct dimensions, but our confirmatory factor analysis reveals that they are not empirically separable. Regression analysis also supports this conclusion, and at the same time provides evidence on the controversial relationship between democracy and inequality

History and Career in a Bureaucratic Labor Market
This paper present a synthesis of theoretical statements on the determinants of socioeconimic achievement with bureaucratic (internal) labor markets and an empirical examination of the reultant predictions. The study focuses on careers in the U.S. civil service from 1963 to 1977, using official personnel records on a 1% sample of whitecollar federal employees, along with secondary survey data. The career is viewed as an outcome not only of indivi…
Job Satisfaction among Female Clerical Workers: "Status Panic" or the Opportunity Structure of Office Work
The most influential theoretical explanation for the job dissatisfaction of clerical workers has been that of Mills, who attributed their dissatisfaction to the declining prestige of clerical work and the unreliability of traditional bases for status claims by individual clerical workers. Kanter's alternative perspective directs attention instead to restricted opportunities for advancement and accomplishment. Specific predictions developed from t…
Sex and Centralization in a Semiprofession
Because direct empirical comparisons of the organizational participation of women and men have been lacking, attempts to incorporate gender as an explanatory variable in theories of organizational authority have had to rely on unverified sex stereotypes. This research examines contentions which have appeared repeatedly in such attempts, namely (a) that there are differences between men and women in four types of work orientation, and (b) that the…
