A Dating-Marriage Scale of Religious Social Distance
horizontal social distance are conceptualized to show that both are feasible concepts in relation to religion. A scale, based on work by Prince (1956), ranges from complete rejection of other religions (would neither date nor marry) through various conditions making marriage feasible, to assimilation through conversion into another religion to make marriage possible. The scale was used with Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant university students. Th…
Jewish Student Attitudes Toward Interreligious and Intra-Jewish Marriage
A classification of Jewish university students into Reform and Conservative showed a marked difference in their attitudes toward interfaith and intra-Jewish marriage. Reform Jews were more willing to make interfaith marriages than were Conservative Jews. Students of both branches were more reluctant to marry Catholics than Protestants,and both were more willing to marry persons of no faith than either Catholics or Protestants. In intra-Jewish mar…
Concepts and Terminology in Interreligious Marriage
I NTRODUCTION. Interreligious marriage has been a matter of concern to religious leaders seemingly since the origin of different religions. Rules and their modification, polemics, and, much more recently, research have kept the subject alive. Research of any kind rests on conceptualization and precision of terminology; theories may follow later. Research on interreligious marriage has scarcely gone beyond limited surveys of rates of intermarriage…

Topical Summaries of Current Literature: Interviewing for Life-History Material
The interview, as a method of obtaining life-history material, stands midway between the uncontrolled diary or autobiography and the formal rating scale or test. Interviewing varies according to the purpose for which data are sought and according to the philosophy of the interviewer: thus the psychoanalyst seeks different information from than sought by the sociologist. A survey of methods used by numerous investigators shows that there is consid…
Family Life and Family Substitutes in Old Age
A THOUGH adults typically live in the marital status in private households, at all ages a few people deviate from this pattern, living in institutions, with relatives, or in rooming houses or hotels. With old age the proportion of deviant arrangements increases. Table I shows the decrease with age in percentage of independent households and the corresponding increase in other living arrangements. Much of the personal and social adjust

The Wish Never to Have Been Born
Although juvenile suicides in the United States are negligible, the wish never to have been born occurred to about 30 per cent of a widely scattered sample of adolescent boys and girls. This wish occurred most frequently among children with high scores (poor adjustment) on a test of neurotic traits and also among those rated by their teachers as poorly adjusted socially, emotionally, and on conventional moral traits. It also occurred most frequen…

The Questionnaire in a Sociological Research Project
The reliability and stability of a questionnaire were tested by having 123 eighthgrade children answer it twice with a week's interval by comparing the replies of 62 pairs of siblings, and by comparing the replies of children and mothers. The replies on the two written forms from the same children agreed for 87.3 per cent of the total number of questions. The percentages of agreement varied from 97.6 per cent for factual questions about self to 7…
