  • Teaching Undergraduate Sociology through Feature Films

    Don D SmithARTICLETeaching Sociology1982Cited by: 6

    This film approach is a continuation of a project that began in 1968. Initially, the goal was to improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of Introductory Sociology by reshaping the mode of instruction in a manner applicable to any size class. That goal, and the film approach, has now been extended to other undergraduate sociology courses as well. The basic premises of this approach are: (a) that the lessons of undergraduate sociology ar…

  • Teaching Introductory Sociology by Film

    Don D SmithARTICLETeaching Sociology1973Cited by: 3

    This study reports the construction and the evaluation of a course in which introductory sociology is presented by film. The project is more an unabashed exploration into the art of teaching than a probe into the science of learning. In the 1950's, the examination of audio-visual use in the classroom emphasized the comparative evaluation of different media techniques (Allen, 1971). By the 1970s, this research has noted that, ultimately, it is not…

  • Mass Communications and International Image Change

    Open AccessDon D SmithARTICLEJournal of Conflict Resolution1973Cited by: 5References: 15

    In the past, mass communications have not been considered a particularly effective device in furthering international accord. From three previously separate bodies of theory, this research formulates a theory of relatively confirmed/discon firmed expectations and reexamines the effectiveness of mass communications in changing the images held by the people of one nation about some other nation. This formulation predicts some conditions under which…

  • Dogmatism, Cognitive Consistency, and Knowledge of Conflicting Facts

    Don D SmithARTICLESociometry1968

    This paper reports on the relationship between the affective and the cognitive components of opinions and attitudes. It examines the relationship between an individual's pro-or-con evaluation of some issue or object (the affective component), and that same individual's knowledge of the pertinent to that issue or object, as well as his belief in those (the cognitive components). The term facts refers to items of information

  • Cognitive Consistency and the Perception of Others' Opinions

    Don D SmithARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1968Cited by: 5

    Public opinion researchers are keenly aware of the many areas of ignorance that exist among respondents questioned on relatively simple matters. But how does knowledge of the facts really affect one's opinions? In a pioneering effort the author uses consistency theory to test empirically several hypotheses regarding the relation of knowledge and opinion

  • Modal Attitude Clusters

    Don D SmithARTICLESocial Forces1966

    This paper suggests that the emphasis on personality has been responsible for the impasse in national character research. It is suggested that this emphasis rests only on research tradition and that national character need not be viewed exclusively in personality terms. A conception of modal attitude clusters is presented as a fully adequate supplement which overcomes many of the weaknesses which result from the personality perspective
