The resident researcher: An alternative career model centered on community
Considers the potential benefits and costs of an alternative career model for community researchers, one in which professionals specialize in the community where they live. By virtue of their local familiarity, resident researchers can make more informed judgments about research problems and methods. They can employ longitudinal designs to assess change and be available to assist in interpretation and implementation of research. Potential costs i…
Close Coupling in Work-Family Relationships: Making and Implementing Decisions in a New Family Business and at Home
This research examined the relative influence of husbands and wives in decisions concerning several activities that occur in both the home and the business. Ratings by 24 women who with their husbands had recently opened a retail or service establishment indicated that influence was significantly related to (1) setting (wives had more influence at home), (2) activity (wives had most influence in decisions about division of labor), and (3) particu…
Employment, ownership, and Survival in microbusiness: A study of New retail and service establishments
Substantive theorizing
This paper outlines, for purposes of discussion and debate, an ecologically oriented approach to theory and research in psychology and related social sciences. This approach, labeled "substantive theorizing", is intended as a constructive response to recent critiqies of the logical positivism paradigm. Substantive theorizing is presented as the intersection of a series of choices by researchers, including decisions to focus on limited but sociall…
Getting out of our conceptual ruts: Strategies for expanding conceptual frameworks
The human tendency to think recurring thoughts limits our theories and research. This article presents four sets of strategies that may be useful for generating new perspectives on familiar research problems: playing with ideas, considering contexts, probing and tinkering with assumptions, and clarifying and systematizing conceptual frame. In 1879, Sir Francis Galton published an article describing a leisurely stroll he took in interests of scien…

An examination of the "other variables" explanation of attitude-behavior inconsistency
Perceived fairness and pleasantness of social exchange situations: Two factorial studies of inequity
Attitudes versus Actions: The Relationship of Verbal and Overt Behavioral Responses to Attitude Objects
Gordon Allport (1954) has described the attitude concept as "the primary building stone in the edifice of social psychology [p. 45], " and the extensive attitude literature in the past 20 years supports this contention. Stimulated primarily by the cognitive consistency theories, thousands of pages have been written recent-ly on attitude formation and change. One possible reason for the popularity of the attitude concept is that social psychologis…

Overt Behaviors toward the Church by Volunteers, Follow-up Volunteers, and Non-Volunteers in a Church Survey
Church members were grouped on the basis of responses to an appeal to participate in a questionnaire study of churches: Initial Ss ( n = 58) attended the first session, Follow-up Ss ( n = 29) participated when subsequent appeals were made, and Refusal Ss ( n = 18) did not participate. Postcard responses to the appeal differed significantly for the 3 groups ( p Follow-up Ss > Refusal Ss. For all 6 measures, p < .05 for analyses of variance
