Optical-Disc Technology: Future Implications for Teaching Sociology
information in the classroom. Optical-videodisc systems provide a computer interface, a screen for multiple visual display, and the dual capabilities of interaction and networking. Use of computer simulationsforforecasting, music and video for communicating abstract concepts, and convergence of statistical with visual data are advantages far outweighing current limitations. Not only is the new technology adaptable to different teaching situations…

Working For Tips: An Examination of Trust and Reciprocity in A Secondary Relationship of the Restaurant Organization
This study reports on the operation of trust and reciprocity in a secondary relationship of the restaurant organization. Working for tips rather than contract wages, the waitress is required to trust the customer and depend on the rule of reciprocity for her wages. Each restaurant customer is extended credit or trust during the service interaction. The restaurant worker develops a disposition or attitude towards this act of credit. The question f…
Waitressing, Vulnerability, and Job Autonomy: The Case of the Risky Tip
The question for research is: what effect does job autonomy have on the sense of vulnerability expressed by those working for tips rather than for contracted wages? Vulnerability, the dependent variable, is a measure of the worker's perception of risk attached to working under such an arrangement. Autonomy, the independent variable, evaluates organizational conditions which permit or limit control over one's work. It is measured by restaurant pro…
The Waitress-Diner Relationship: A Multimethod Approach To the Study of Subordinate Influence
Literature in the area of work and occupations suggests that a variety of manipulative ploys are practiced by service workers. Although these maneuvers may be aimed at controlling diverse facets of the work situation, they generally are performed in an effort to master the work's reward structure. Manipulative accounts have contamed sketches of the procedures practiced; yet few accounts acknowledge a test of such procedures. This investigation wa…
The Medal of Honor, Combat Orientations and Latent Role Structure in the United States Military
This study presents data on activities for which the Congressional Medal of Honor was presented. We identify two combat orientations among military personnel, which we label war winning and soldier saving. The former is most clearly associated with officers, the latter with low-ranking enlisted men. We suggest that this social-psychological orientation corresponds to a latent role structure within the military based upon a military ethic, and tha…
