Planning a Career in Engineering: Parental Effects on Sons and Daughters
This paper examines the extent to which prospective engineers follow in their parents' footsteps. Specifically, we investigate the connection between fathers' and mothers' employment in the engineering profession and the career plans of sons and daughters. We develop a number of reasons to expect an occupation-specific intergenerational association in this field, as well as hypotheses regarding gender-specific role-modeling. Data are drawn from t…

Gender Differences in the Evaluation of Prestige
This study examines the prestige accorded to male and female incumbents in occupations. Respondents were asked to rate the prestige of occupations and the prestige of male and female incumbents in those occupations. Two main findings are discussed in this paper. First, the prestige of male and female incumbents often differs substantially. The size of these differences is strongly related to the sex com-position of the occupations. Second, the se…
Industrial Sector and Career Mobility Reconsidered
The relationship between industrial sector and career mobility is reexamined. It is argued that one must separate stayers and movers when studying career mobility. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men andfrom the March 1981 Current Population Survey are employed. Two industrial sector models are tested, and are compared with a blue-collar vs. white-collar dichotomy. Industrial sector is shown to have only a modest impact on car…

Attribution and Symbolic Interaction: An Impasse at the Generalized Other
Attribution theory and symbolic interactionism have developed independently of each another, although both are concerned with the processes employed by ordinary people to make sense of their everyday world. It was inevitable that developments in the one should at last collide with certain well-established tenets of the other. Recent developments in attribution theory respecting differential attributions by Ego of the causes of his own and Alter's…

Harry Haller's Private Sky Hook: The Role of Suicidal Ideation in the Prolongation of Life
Suicidal ideation is most often dealt with in the literature as being either itself pathological or in some way symptomatic of underlying pathology. At the same time, many authorities hold that while everyone or nearly everyone, has probably entertained the notion of killing themselves, relatively few persons actually resort to suicide. With this in mind, it seems more reasonable to suppose that suicidal ideation is “normal,” i.e., a general cond…

From Sacred to Secular: The Rationalization of Christian Theology
This paper outlines the transition in thought from what has been called the monastic ideal to the current stages of rational capitalism. It treats the way in which the transition from sacred to secular thought systems (especially since the Protestant Reformation) has led to the establishment of an unforeseen dilemma, i.e., a trend toward a moral society of amoral members. This condition has been brought about in some ways intentionally and in oth…
