Friendship in School: Gender and Racial Homophily
This article analyzes the development of racial and gender homophily in a population of 2,135 schoolchildren, grades 3-12, in all public schools in a biracial Southern community. Sociometric friendship nominations were used to examine changes in racial and gender segregation and preference. The results suggest that for these major status variables, the relationship between homophily and grade is curvilinear, first increasing because of increments…
Social Structure During the School Years: Onset of the Degrouping Process
Most studies of the development of peer relations focus on the distinction between group members and nonmembers, while theoretical accounts of social structure emphasize the importance of liaisons, the locus of weak ties. Liaisons, with less integrated friendship networks, are crucial to the permeability of social systems. Using data on 2,299 children, grades three through twelve, in a community school system, we show that the proportion of group…
Gender Differences in Images of God
Images of God data from the General Social Survey (1983) are subjected to factor analysis. Three images of God factors are identified: God as king, as healer, and as relational. Women score higher only on the God as healer image. The three images are positively interrelated and have substantial, positive relationships with church attendance. The finding that women score higher on God as healer, or a supportive factor, is viewed in part as related…
Distribution Analysis for Leisure Activities
In contrast to examining correlations or averages of attendant variables to leisure behavior, an investigation was undertaken to examine the structure of participation frequency distributions for leisure activities. Data from a national probability sample provided 30 activity participation distributions for comparison. Two concave participation structures described the 30 activity distributions: a reverse-J curve and a reverse-J curve with a tail…
Activity Preferences and Participation: Conclusions From A Factor Analytic Study
With the advent of modern data processing technology, it became feasible to use various clustering algorithms to uncover latent common properties among recreation activities. This paper compares stated recreation activity preferences with actual participation as a means of solidifying previous work on latent common properties. The first stage of the research compared preference for a specific activity with participation in that same activity. Thi…
Aquatic resources and recreation behavior
While substantial effort has been undertaken to understand the consequences of industrial and agricultural uses for the environment, concern has also been expressed about its other uses, including recreation. Little is known about the relationship between recreational behavior and an environmental resource base. The present paper focuses upon participation in a specific outdoor recreation activity or activity‐cluster and dominant resource base wh…
