Videoconferencing: A Way for Students to Meet Their Sociological Heroes
Institutional Context and Departmental Capstone Course This course was taught in a public, four year institution of 5,000 residential stu dents, two-thirds of whom are women. The institution is highly selective and over half of the entering students are in the top 10% of their graduating classes. The students tend to be traditionally-aged for college, middle-class, white, and motivated to achieve high grades. About one-fourth to one-third of the …
Greedy Institutions: The Importance of Institutional Context for Teaching in Higher Education
This article focuses on how the institutional contexts of colleges and universities shape these “greedy institutions.” We look at the current social, political, and economic trends affecting all postsecondary institutions, specifically the forces that encourage “greediness.” We examine the literature on structural arenas that influence teaching in higher education, including type of institution and departmental level characteristics, considering …

In 1984 and 1988, the federal government passed legislation aimed at enhancing the enforcement of child support payments by noncustodial parents. This article analyzes how these laws were implemented in two counties in New York State using a model of policy implementation developed by Donald Van Meter and Carl Van Horn. It is concluded that improved enforcement contributes to state revenues and may be helpful to custodial parents who do not recei…

Workplace harassment and the victimization of women
A rational choice model of wives' employment decisions
Factors that influence married women's employment decisions are studied within the context of a social exchange model of decision‐making developed by Blalock and Wilken (1979). It is proposed that wives’ estimations of the utility of employment are influenced by three hierarchically ranked goals (family's financial adequacy, maternal care of young children, employment as a source of personal fulfillment), and by an interest in maximum joint profi…
Factors predicting employed women's interest in promotion
Logistic regression analysis is used to test the relative importance of familial role factors and organization of workplace factors in predicting interest in promotion among employed women. None of the familial role factors (marital status, number of children, sex role attitudes. reasons for employment) influenced interest in promotion. Three of the four organization of workplace factors were significantly related to interest in promotion: percei…
Puerto Rican Families in New York City: Intergenerational Processes
Family Law in Soviet Russia, 1917-1945
This article addresses whether the postrevolutionary Soviet government intended to destroy the family and discusses the intent and consequences of the various family law codes that were decreed between 1917 and 1945. It is shown that there were in fact three diffferent perspectives on what the role of the family should be within the socialist state and that Soviet policymakers did not achieve consensus on the issue of the family's role. Further, …

No-Fault Divorce Law: Impact on Judge and Client
The impact of no-fault divorce laws was investigated through direct observation of divorce hearings, with emphasis on how divorce is experienced by contesting and uncontesting clients, and by the judge. Client expectations were identified and found to be largely unmet. The judge was found to have a general antipathy toward divorce cases; four factors that contribute to this antipathy are identified. Finally, it is suggested that, despite the no-f…
Comparing Employed and Unemployed Welfare Recipients: A Discriminant Analysis
Based on data from the 1973 Minnesota AFDC Characteristic Study, 348 female AFDC recipients were classified according to whether they were employed or unemployed. T-tests and a discriminant analysis were performed to determine which of several demographic and economic variables distinguished the employed group from the unemployed group. The best discriminators were found to be those related to economic condition, such as value of personal and rea…
