The 'New Renunciates' of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh: Observations and Identification of Problems of Interpreting New Religious Movements
This paper is a non-hostile outsider narrative describing the Rajneesh movement with special attention to their attempt to establish a spiritual center in Eastern Oregon. Analysis was complicated by the dispersed and mobile following exhibiting wide variation in commitment, linked communal groups, multiple corporate identities, and the movement's rejection of constraint to ideological consistency. Researchers of new religious movements may find t…
Ranching, Mining, and the Human Impact of Natural Resource Development
Cross-Sex Context as a Factor in Persuasibility Sex Differences
This study explores the hypothesis that previous reports of greater female persuasibility may have been confounded by the cross-sex context of the communication situation. Utilizing live male andfemale communicators within afully randomized repeated-measures design, the data indicate moderate support for the hypothesis. Alternative interpretations of the data are explored with particular attention to the theory that status inequalities in the lar…

Worlds of the Future: Exercises in the Sociological Imagination
Elementary Survey Analysis
Retest of a Measurement Model
Research use of paired-comparisons scales involves two levels of assumptions, one set at the scaling stage and one set at the measurement stage. The basic scaling assumption is that the quantity of pro or con feeling implicit in each statement in a set of statements about some object can be reliably and meaningfully determined. The determination of these quantities is achieved by presenting a panel of judges with each statement paired with each o…
Inadvertent Sociological Theory
The measurement properties of indicators are shown to depend on the conceptualization of the constructs said to be measured by those indicators. The argument is developed that empirical statements about levels of measurement of an index cannot be sensibly made in isolation from the theoretical and substantive context in which the index is to be used. Assumptions that a variable is somehow “intrinsically” interval (ordinal, nominal) are analytical…

Statistical Estimation with Random Measurement Error
Toward Comparative Community Research: A Factor Analyiis of United States Counties
THE NEED for comparative research has been a persistent theme in the literature of sociology for some time.' Although comparative studies are being undertaken with greater frequency, a major problem associated with their design and execution stems from the ambiguity of the concept community and an inadequate conceptualization of the dimensions along which these social units vary.2 One recent approach to this problem has been through the applicati…
Racial-Caste Hypogamy: A Sociological Myth
Social Conformity and Attitude Change Within Nonlaboratory Groups
The attempt is made to utilize the findings of experimental studies to account for conformity in non-laboratory, small groups. Conformity is examined in 42 training groups of supervisory-level, professional nurses. The results suggest that laboratory findings can not be applied directly to the non-laboratory situation. A model incorporating direction of deviance, change in group norms, and the social context surrounding the group is developed. Th…
