Too Few Tomorrows: Urban Appalachians in the 1980s
Between the 1940s and 1970s, approxiately three million people left the Appalachian mountains in search of jobs in Midwest urban areas, such as Cincinnati, Chicago, and Detroit. Unfortunately, about a third of these people were forced into a life of long-term underclass dwellers. Struggling with questions of identity, rootlessness, and cultural negation, these people were given the name of “urban Appalachians.” Published in 1987, Too Few Tomorrow…
Determinants of Social Class Identification for Dual-Earner Couples
This article reports an analysis of the presence and sources of discrepancies in the class identifications of married couples. Among a sample of 489 married couples, about half report different levels of class identification if either spouse identifies as working class. Further analysis suggests that differences occur, in part, because husbands base class identification only upon their own achievements and family income, while wives take into acc…
The Division of Labor in Contemporary Marriage: Expectations, Perceptions, and Performance
In this paper we examine the marital role expectations and perceptions of spouse's role expectations with respect to childcare, housework, money management, and earning income in a sample of 489 married couples. We analyze degree of agreement between spouses about expectations, accuracy of the perceptions about a partner's expectations, the differences between expectations and behaviors, and the effects of expectations and perceptions of expectat…
Social and Psychological Perspectives on Voluntary Sterilization: A Review
This paper reviews social science research on the antecedents and consequences of voluntary sterilization. The major conclusions are that socioeconomic status has little impact on the decision to be sterilized and that sterilizations are rare among those without sons and among male non-whites. Significant others are important sources of encouragement and information, and good marital relations increase the likelihood of having the procedure perfo…

Maximizing Confidence in Married Couple Samples
Most probability samples of married couples do not have response rates high enough to justify the use of inferential statistics. Recognizing that response rates are likely to be low this paper describes 4 procedures that can be used in study design during data collection and in analysis to partly compensate for this failure. The study describes a research project on the effects of relative occupational statuses of spouses for dual-earner marriage…
Appalachian Migrants in Urban America: Cultural Conflict or Ethnic Group Formation
Appalachian Migrants in Urban America: Cultural Conflict or Ethnic Group Formation
this New York Times Notable Book and bestseller, the National Book Award-winning author of In the Heart of the Sea writes about one of the world's most ambitious voyages of discovery--the U.S. Exploring Expedition of 1838-1842 that included six sailing vessels and a crew of hundreds who set out to map the Pacific Ocean
The Invisible Minority: Urban Appalachians
Relative Occupational Attainments of Spouses and Later Changes in Marriage and Wife's Work Experience
Using the older cohort of women in the National Longitudinal Survey, this paper analyzes whether the relative attainments of spouses at one point in time are associated with divorce, leaving the labor force, moving to a lower status job and/or moving to a traditional jobone sex-typed female-at a later time. Independent variables included wife's occupational status, husband's occupational status, the interaction between the two (relative occupatio…
The Invisible Minority: Urban Appalachians
The Invisible Minority: Urban Appalachians
This publication consists of papers prepared for a conference held at the Academy for Contemporary Problems in Columbus Ohio March 22-29 1974. The main topic of the conference was the migration of over three million people from the Appalachian region of the United States to the cities of the South East and Midwest (ANNOTATION)
Predicting Marital and Career Success among Dual-Worker Couples
Research is reviewed which is both supportive and skeptical of the assumptions of theories based upon status competition processes, status incompatibility, complementary needs, and threat to gender identity which posit that stress is created in marriages where the wife's occupational achievements exceed the husband's. A theory is posited to explain which couples will or will not succeed in this circumstance. The theory suggests change will be ini…
The Invisible Minority: Urban Appalachians
Effects of socioeconomic status and perceived affluence on anomia
This study analyzes (1) the effects of affluence perception on anomia and (2) the importance of affluence perception as an intervening variable interpreting the effects of race, education, and income on anomia. The analysis uses survey data from a probability sample of adults in Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Ohio. Affluence perception is found to be positively related to anomia and to account for part of the effects of race, education, and income…
Necessity, Compatibility and Status Attainment as Factors in the Labor-Force Participation of Married Women
The probability is tested that a married woman will more likely participate in the labor force: (1) the lower the family income without her earnings; (2) the higher her occupational prestige potential; (3) the less her occupational prestige potential differs from her husbands; and (4) the more her occupational prestige potential exceeds the occupational prestige of her husband. Data from the General Social Surveys conducted between 1974 and 1977 …
A Research Note: Occupational Attainments and Perceptions of Status among Working Wives
Data from six national surveys are combined and analyzed to determine how pervasive the effects of occupational attainments are on the status perceptions of working wives. The results indicate that the effects are limited to women married to men with middle-class jobs. Women married to husbands with working-class jobs do not change their perceptions of their social status on the basis of their job attainments
The Derivation of Status Benefits from Occupational Attainments of Working Wives
The Implication of Wife's Occupational Attainment for Husband's Class Identification
Drawing upon research indicating that the subjective class identifications of working wives are to a considerable extent the result of their own occupational attainments, this study seeks to determine if husbands of working wives also derive perceptions of status from their wives' occupational attainments. Regression analysis is conducted on a subset of husbands of working wives in three General Social Surveys gathered from 1973 to 1975. A husban…
Television Viewing and the Perception of Affluence
Paralleling research on the effects of television on cognitions regarding violence, this study examines the effects of television on perceptions of the extent of affluence in the United States. Television's frequent portrayal of America as a highly affluent society suggests that perceptions of affluence are positively related both to amount of television viewing and to perceived veracity of television, and that the effects of television viewing a…

Authority Position, Legitimacy of Authority Structure, and Acquiescence to Authority
This paper reports a quasi-replication of Lopreato's test of hypotheses derived from Dahren-dorf's theory of class and class conflict in imperatively coordinated associations. Using survey data from a probability sample of Hamilton County, Ohio, adults, measures are constructed of position in the authority structure, perception of the legitimacy of the authority structure, and acquiescence to authority. Our analysis supports Dahrendorf's contenti…

Racial Differences in Perceptions of Affluence
This study examines perceptions held by inner-city blacks and whites of the extent of affluence in America. Blacks generally tend to believe that affluence is more widespread than do whites, although substantial variation in racial differences occurs across sex and age categories. Controls for socio-economic characteristics have little effect on racial differences in perceptions of affluence. The analysis suggests that race has an effect on perce…

Race, Class, and Perceptions of Affluence
This paper analyzes the effects of race, education, and income on perceptions of the extent of affluence in the United States. The analysis uses survey data from a probability sample of Hamilton County, Ohio, adults. Race, education, and income are each found to have significant additive effects on affluence perceptions. Blacks, less educated people, and people with less income tend to perceive greater affluence. The analysis suggests the importa…
Patterns of Alienation in Inner City Ghettos
Although high rates of alienation are known to exist in inner city ghettos, it is not known whether that alienation is directed toward society as a whole or if individuals make distinctions between different sectors of the social system. Relationships between the levels of alienation directed toward four aspects of society are analyzed to determine if they are the result of a single underlying response to society or if they are the product of sep…

Class and Conformity: The Case of Political Socialization
Recent studies of political socialization have failed to find a relationship between socioeconomic origins and the political orientations of American youth (Braungart, 1971; Dunlap, 1970;Tygart and Holt, 1971). This has come as a surprise, especially to those who hypothesize a class basis for political ideologies (See Orum and Cohen, 1973: 63, for example), and yet the finding has occurred with enough consistency that some confidence can be place…
Responses to Social Services among the Urban Unemployed
In an urban environment the individual is unable to function independent of other people. To fill even basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing, he must successfully become a part of the social system. To assist people in obtaining these, programs have developed in the areas of employment, housing, health, and welfare as well as other areas related to man's life in Ln urbah environment. The provision of these programs does not automatically in…
