The Politics of Evaluation: The Case of Head Start
In his Economic Opportunity Message to the Congress on February 19, 1969, President Nixon mentioned briefly that the preliminary results of a Westinghouse Learning Corporation-Ohio University evaluation indicated that "the long-term effect of Head Start appears to be extremely weak." This terse announcement triggered a major public controversy that ranged over the Congress, the executive branch, and the educational research community. Much of the…
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
Among the features that distinguish the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GAIT) from other international organizations concerned with the trade of less developed countries are two that are especially significant. GATT is the only interregional organization in which the undertakings by members take the form of contractual commitments. It is also an organization that is concerned with trade not only between developed and less developed countr…
Alienation and Learning in a Hospital Setting
This paper presents a controlled, and situationally specific, test of a common assertion regarding alienation in modern society. The hypothesis is tested that differences in alienation (i.e., in powerlessness) are associated with differential learning of behavior-relevant information. Comparing patients who differ in their degree of alienation, but who are matched for socioeconomic backgrounds and for health and hospital histories, it is shown th…
Apprenticeship and Attitude Change
The effect of the medical internship upon status attitudes is examined, and the observed changes in attitude are compared with the status commitments of the intern's superiors and subordiantes. The intern's attitude change is seen to involve elements both of increased equalitarianism and increased status commitment. These changes are interpred in their significance for three major sociological concern: (1) the understanding of reference-group pro…
Stratification and Hospital Care: I. The Performance of the Medical Intern
Stratification and Hospital Care: II. The Objective Criteria of Performance
If our assumptions are left implicit, we will inevitably presuppose of a view of man that is tailor-made to our special needs; when our sociological theory over-stresses the stability and integration of society we will end up imagining that man is the disembodied, conscience-driven, status-seeking phantom of current theory. We must do better if we really wish to win credit outside of our ranks for special understanding of man, that plausible crea…
