Stigma of ink: Tattoo attitudes among college students
We test a structural equations model of stigma against tattooed persons and attitudes toward future tattoos among 195 tattooed and 257 non-tattooed college students. Having tattooed friends and family members undermines stigma against tattooed persons while beliefs about negative side effects of tattooing reinforces stigma assignment. The variables above and the respondent having a tattoo predict attitude toward future tattoos. We test a second m…

The Future of Marriage and Family in Black America
The discourse surrounding African American families during the past 30 years has primarily consisted of some form of reaction to the Moynihan Report (1965), which presented evidence support-ing the contention that the Black family was falling apart. These responses, often by African American social scientists, usually represented some form of what I call &dquo;Yes, but&dquo; responses, including: a. Countering the attacks by focusing on the stren…
Comparable Worth versus the Free Market: A Case Study
In principle, comparable worth means simply equal pay for work of comparable value.1 In practice, it has been used to argue that job categories filled predominantly by women should be paid the same as those filled mainly by men if their work is of equal value to the employer-and thus to challenge an underlying cultural assumption that women's work is worth less than men's. The devaluation of women's work has historically been tied to the sexual d…
Toward a Broader Angle of Vision in Uncovering Women's History: Black Women's Clubs Revisited
It is often assumed that feminist historians in the 1980's have a number of advantages over earlier writers who shared the goal of uncovering women's history. Not the least of these supposed advantages is that earlier writers have experienced and articulated the various that had to be avoided before we could arrive at more accurate, less biased accounts of the historical experiences of women. I would argue, however, that mere articulation of the …
Attitudes of Black Catholics and Protestants: Evidence for Religious Identity
The assumption that black minorities, including Catholics, share in the “subculture of the dominant Negro Protestant majority” is examined in this paper. Using national sample data, black Catholics and nonCatholics are compared on class variables and, as expected, Catholics are found to be of a higher class. Using data collected in Louisville (with class differences controlled through the method of sampling which depended upon residential proximi…
