Valuing Access to U . S . Public Lands
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…
Racial Identity–Related Differential Attributions of Inadequate Responses to Hurricane Katrina
Socializing economic theories of discrimination
Volunteerism Among Social Work Students During Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
This study examined volunteer activities and predictors of volunteerism among graduate and undergraduate social work students (N = 416) from four universities in the Gulf Coast area following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The convenience sample drawn from all social work students at these universities included 89% females, and 52% of the students were in a master's level program. Sixty-one percent of the respondents were African American and 31% w…
The organizational formation of atmospheric science
In this paper, the history of atmospheric science is traced, from the earliest discussions from meteorologists, and the first meetings to describe this new research area. The development of atmospheric science proceeded in three phases with each phase being marked by the attempt to organize resources, and bring into the atmospheric science network, scientists from other fields. I argue here that this construction of a science provides evidence of…
Measuring Women's Sport Interest in Response to Title IX
An approach is described whereby universities may respond to Title IX inquiries from the Office of Civil Rights regarding women's sport equity. This responds to that portion of the law that requires that institutions meet women's sport interest in equal measure to men's. The survey provides results useful for institutional decision making and helps address the specific needs and interests of the student body
The Bureaucratic Labor Market
The Celebration of Heroes Under Communism
Drawing on the work of Goode, Mills, and others, a theoretical synthesis of the place of formal honors in systems of inequality is presented. A multivariate analysis shows that the effects of ascribed characteristics on the receipt of awards operate indirectly, while employment position and professional achievement have different effects for different types of awards. And for the first time for a Communist society, we demonstrate in the analysis …
Work Satisfaction Under Yugoslav Self-Management
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 …

Job Satisfaction among Female Clerical Workers
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…

Income Inequality in the Federal Civilian Government
An analysis of income inequality by race and sex within the federal civil service yields three findings of importance for income attainment and human capital research. First, large differences in salary between minority/sex groups remain after occupational stream and a number of employment-related variables are controlled. Second, institutionalized discrimination explains only one-half of these salary differences. Finally, within the federal civi…

The Utility of Education and Attractiveness for Females' Status Attainment Through Marriage
A study of a U.S. national sample of females ages 25 through 40 reveals a moderate association of education, and a weaker association of physical attractiveness, with husbands' occupational prestige. Consistent with earlier findings reported by Elder, the contribution of education to females' status attainment through marriage seems to vary positively with level of origins and the contribution of attractiveness seems to vary inversely, except tha…
