Organizations and Powerlessness: A Test of the Mediation Hypothesis
The theory of mass society proposes that organizations mediating between individual and state serve as a bulwark against the development of alienation. An empirical test of this proposition is presented, focusing on perceived powerlessness as a critical form of alienation. As predicted, members of work-related organizations are generally lower in powerlessness than non-members; this difference is sustained under appropriate controls for socio-eco…
On the Multidimensionality of Alienation
Appendix II: A Theorem Theorem: A congruence class, C, of a semilattice is closed, convex, and contains a maximal element. (1) C is closed. Assume aEC and beC. Then abeCC. Now,a=aacCC, so C=CC. (2) C contains a maximal element. By closure the product, p, of all elements in C is in C, and by idempotence pc=p for an arbitrary ceC. Hence p is a maximal element of C. (3) C is convex. Let aeC, beC, a>x>b, xeX. xa-a so XC=C, xb-x so XC-X. Thus X =C

Dimensions of Alienation Among Manual and Non-Manual Workers
The pervasive use of the alienation framework in interpretative sociological works has generated a need for empirical studies of alienation itself. Empirical measures of powerlessness and normlessness are developed for political and economic areas, following the leads provided by Seeman's conceptual analysis. The alienation scales developed in the present study are combined with Srole's anomie scale and Seeman's status-orientation scale for facto…

Social Class Correlates of Stability and Change in Levels of Alienation: A Longitudinal Study
Identical allenation items were used on questionnaires administered to 334 subjects in 1963 and again in 1971. Drawing upon the variables of powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, and social isolation, an analysis was made of stability and change in alienation scores. The direction of change was toward disproportionate increases over decreases, with the largest increase occurring for normlessness. Differential educational and occupational …
Labor force participation and family formation: A study of working mothers
Drawing upon a sample of 638 mothers aged 18 to 40, with at least some marital work experience, significant associations were found between the extent, kind, and timing of employment and a series of family formation variables. Generally lower fertility, longer first birth intervals, and earlier use of birth control were associated with the longest work durations, the highest status jobs, and work before the birth of the first child. The data fail…

Fertility decision making, unintended births, and the social drift hypothesis: A longitudinal study
Consensus in the Marital Dyad: Couples' Perceptions of Contraception, Communication, and Family Life
The present study was based on data collected (separately for husbands and wives) from 365 couples to determine levels of consensus on a series of variables related to the family forming process. Following Scheff (1967), consensus was operationalized as both agreement and coorientation in the marital dyad. The data generally indicated low levels of consensus on such variables as contraceptive efficacy, desired family size, child spacing, unwanted…
Alienation antecedents of unwanted fertility: A longitudinal study
Women high in alienation may in a sense be victimized by a higher probability of having unwanted pregnancies than women low in alienation. From this perspective high alienation may be concomitant with a sense of (at most) going through the motions of family planning with a rather low confidence that ones ability will suffice to achieve the desired goal and a tendency therefore not to be particularly involved in the mechanisms of family planning. …
Contraceptive Nonconformity among Catholics
Meaningful differences between Catholics and non-Catholics as to contraceptive behavior are declining among the young. A survey of 412 white Catholic women aged 20-44 showed that 79% of the 18-24 age group were practicing methods of contraception prescribed by the Church. Use of proscribed contraception among these women was correlated with the following factors: 1) age; 2) number of children desired as related with present number of children; 3)…
Alienation Predictors of Differential Fertility: A Longitudinal Study
To explore the direction of causality in alienation and fertility relationships, longitudinal data were collected from 336 mothers in the Toledo metropolitn area. The results, based on analysis of changes over an eight-year time interval, supported the view that conditions of alienation are antecedent to and generative of high levels of fertility
Alienation Correlates of Catholic Fertility
Alienation profiles are used as a means of unifying a series of cognitive conditions related to motivational and control-relevant dimensions of family size among a sample of Catholic mothers. Through cumulative scaling of powerlessness, meaninglessness, and normlessness, fertility differentials by alienation profiles significantly exceed differentials obtained by the separate alienation measures as well as by combinations of religion and socioeco…
Alienation and Social Learning: A Study of Students in a Vocational Training Center
Persons in a vocational training center for the unemployed were the subjects of a study of alienation and social learning. The study related measures of meaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation, and powerlessness to control-relevant information about both the immediate training center and also future employment opportunities. The results supported the proposition that high alienation, in each of its major forms, is associated with low degr…

Conflict and the Functional Equivalence of Social Movements
Of any given perspective on social movements, one may ask what is included and what is excluded, how far does the perspec tive go, and where does it stop in tracing out the numerous factors in the dynamics of social movements? The concern for why individuals join has often characterized psychological and nomo thetic approaches to social movements, while the primacy of why this particular movement at this particular time and place has been more ty…

On Power and Knowledge: The Politics of Sociology
Putting power and knowledge into their proper perspective is becoming an increasingly urgent task for the social sciences. Engagements in wars few men want, depletion of the world's resources, pollution of the environment, and the persistence of poverty in the midst of affluence are critical examples of societal problems in mastery and control. The collective anxieties surrounding such events constitute the background against which social scienti…
