Diffusion Research in Rural Sociology: The Record and Prospects for the Future
Foreword Preface Historical Overview: From the 1940s to the 1970s The First Wave of Diffusion Research Institutionalization of Diffusion Research Diffusion Research in the Third World Recent Trends Social Structure, Equity and the Diffusion Model Recent Diffusion Research: Some New Directions Prospects for the Future References
Technology and Cultural Convergence: A Limited Empirical Test
Past research on individual modernity has concentrated on identification of the antecedents of more modern patterns of thinking, valuing, and behaving. The present study attempts to take a next step in this research tradition, to determine whether value modernization also implies cross-cultural value convergence. Data were obtained from samples at four levels of industry in each of three countries (Ghana, India, and Brazil) on 22 questions design…
Caste dominance, traditional farming castes and agricultural modernization in Andhra Pradesh
A Comparative Analysis of the Social Impacts of a Technological Delivery System
Agricultural Colonization in India since Independence
Stratification and Risk-Taking: A Further Negative Replication of Cancian's Theory
Agricultural Modernisation Strategies Among Ghanaian Farmers
The major problem of agriculture in Africa has been the low productivity of the traditional sector. The general thrust of development strategies to this point has been towards providing opportunities to small-holders and 'encouraging agricultural development within existing peasant production units'. This essentiallylaissez-faireapproach has emphasised the need to improve producer incentives and the necessary infrastructure, as well as to provide…
Message Distortion and the Diffusion of Innovations in Northern India
MESSAGE DISTORTION AND THE DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIONS IN NORTHERN INDIAThis study investigates message distortion in an analysis of data gathered in the context of planned change, agricultural development in northern India. Data were obtained from professional change agents, respondents in frequent contact with these agents, and respondents having little or no such contact. It was hypothesized that perceptions of innovations would differ most from …

Agricultural Innovation among Indian Farmers
Attributes of Innovations as Factors in Diffusion
Differences among innovations are important variables in explaining the diffusion process. Data on rate of adoption of thirty-three modern farm practices and farmers' perceptions of fifteen attributes of those practices are subjected to partial correlation analysis. For this sample of relatively prosperous farmers, innovations perceived as most rewarding and least risky are accepted most rapidly, as expected; high costs do not serve as a brake on…
