Human by Nature
The Song of Sociobiology
The author rejects as unfounded the argument that sociobiology can provide a nomothetic foundation for the sociocultural sciences. The theoretical logic of sociobiology is reviewed, the scope of the theory is discussed, and its problems of inference, ecology, and myth making are analyzed. The explicit claim made by interpreters that the theory provides ultimate explanations, and the implicit claim to a privileged status for these, cannot be theor…
The Meaning of General Theoretical Sociology
Sociological Theories In Progress
The Process of Eliminating Status Generalization
A formal theory is developed to describe when decision-making in informal task groups is not affected by group members' status identities. The theory is used to derive functions which express the equivalence of two conditions: one in which a status and a performance variable may have an effect on task decision-making, and one in which only a performance variable may have such an effect. To evaluate the predicted equivalence we examine the decisio…
Cumulative Problem Solving in Family Sociology
This article analyzes why, in family sociology, the development of problems for theorizing and research has not led to many cumulative solutions. Cumulative solutions require serial progressions to problem development that are not much evident in family sociology. Problem development has a serial progression when the very framing of a question for research is conditional on the results of previous research. The program of research on mate selecti…

Science in a Free Society
On the Use of Alternative Interpretations in Contemporary Social Psychology
Contemporary social psychology shows an increasing concern for the validity of its research findings. When findings are contaminated by the presence of extraneous variables, or when they are a product of a faulty research design or an inappropriate data analysis, they are subject to alternative interpretations. However, there are few explicit standards for assessing when it is justified to propose post-hoc, alternative interpretations andfor deci…
The Generalization of Specific Performance Expectations
Paths of Relevance and the Determination of Power and Prestige Orders
Systematic Empiricism
Conditions for Status Equality in Informal Task Groups
Previous research indicates that differentiation in observable power and prestige in informal task groups tends to coincide with prior status inequalities even when such inequalities have no explicit relevance for task interaction. A theory of status generalization has been used to explain this particular halo effect. The theory is here modified to determine when, on the contrary, status unequals will tend toward equality in observable power and …
Eliminating Status Generalization
In small, task-focused groups undifferentiated in power and prestige, previous research has shown that introducing a status difference among group members generates observable differences in power and prestige even at tasks not obviously related to the status characteristic. A social psychological theory is presented which shows that this generalization effect can be arrested if actors are simultaneously discriminated by performance attributes wh…
