La pauta del cambio social
A menudo se ha observado que el cambio social es una característica de los tiempos modernos.Las condiciones sociales de la década de 1940 fueron muy diferentes de las de los años treinta.Existen varios libros que describen las décadas del siglo XX y la última parte del XIX.Todos registran los grandes cambios sociales que se están produciendo.El problema de este trabajo es analizar un factor causal de estos cambios sociales.Este factor son los inv…

Technological Development and Per Capita Income
To learn the relationship of technological development to the standard of living, three measures of technological development were used: capitalized earnings attributable to technological development in manufacturing, capital investiment in new plant and equipment, and the consumption of inanimate energy. For the first and third indexes correlations were made with per capita income for one year, and for the second index, with incomes over ten yea…

Education, Income, and Family Unity
Families, white nonfarm in the United States in 1940, broken by separations and divorce were in percentages twice as numerous when husbands had not finished the elementary school as when husbands were college graduates. But this increased family unity may be owing to income rather than to education, since income is more highly correlated with family unity than is education

The Economic Factor in the Roosevelt Elections
It seems to be generaally agreed that Franklin D. Roosevelt is very unpopular with the wealthier groups in society and that he is held to be a very warm friend of the poor. Indeed, it is sometimes asserted that no president since Jefferson has so divided the voters along economic lines as has Roosevelt. Popular opinion on this subject, as on many others, is likely to be exaggerated. In any case, it is well to check by measurement the idea that th…

Inventions and Discoveries
Many social changes are occasioned by mechanical inventions and scientific discoveries. Although the reporting of discoveries is not well developed, and although it is difficult to forecast their significance, an attempt is made to select 100 inventions and discoveries, largely in applied science, for 1927, and mainly from the United States, which may be socially significant. The list is from the fields of medicine (with 13 listed), vitamins and …
Technological Trends and National Policy
Measurement of the Cost of Living and Wages
HE great upheaval in prices during the past two or three years has forced into the spotlight of public interest the standard of living as a basis of wage settlement. The cost of living has risen quite suddenly and most dramatically, and unless wages rose with the rise in prices the net result was an actual lowering of the standard of living. For this reason the standard of living has become in a great many cases the basis for setting wages. Thus …

On Scientific Writing
As science and scholarship are often not clearly differentiated, so scientific writing is frequently not adecuately distinguished from the writing of essays or speeches. In the interest of candidates for the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees some standards for scientific writing are set forth. These are clarity and the avoidance of distortion. A few observations are also made on how to attain readability, thought this quality is unimportant for science,…

Independent Voting in Presidential Elections
Fluctuations in the percentage of the voters voting for a particular political party at presidential elections have been increasing greatly since the beginning of the century, but no such trend was observable in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This trend seems to indicate a growth among voters of independence from party. The counties that have had the greatest increase in percentage of independent voters so measured since 1920 have be…

Limitations of Statistics
Zeal for statistics sometimes blinds one to its limitations as an instrument of discovery, as a form of language, as a contributor to understanding, as a device for holding factors constant, and as an aid in constructing a composite account; as well as its obvious limitations in fields where the social sciences deal with the unique

Recent Changes in Marriage
Marriage increased in the United States from 1920 to 1930 even when age, nativity, and urban-rural composition are held constant. Early marriage is not increasing. Urban-rural differences and sex differences are less. There are fewer widowed. The volume of marriage among men is nearly the same under varying social conditions, while among women it varies more widely. The large cities discourage marriage, if farms be taken as the norm, by 15 per ce…
The Future of the New Deal
The energy back of the New Deal is due to a synchronizing of the business cycleand the political cycle, and will spend itself. The pattern taken by the New Deal is the framework of the relationship of government to business. Most of the New Deal activities follow trends which have been in existence for many years and which are likely to continue, though some of them may be combated successfully. A much closer union between business and government…

The Frequency and Probability of Insanity
The extent of insanity is not generally appreciated. A statistical analysis of the relatively more complete data gathered in New York and in Massachusetts reveals the startling fact that the chance of a young person 15 years old being placed in a hospital for the insane during his lifetime is about 1 in 20, while the chance of developing an incapacitating mental disorder whether sent to a hospital for insanity or not is probably at least as high …
