Reinforcement and the Origin, Rate, and Extent of Cultural Diffusion
This chapter investigates how reinforcement influences the “origin,” rate, and extent of one large-scale social-change process—cultural diffusion. The investigation uses Zvi Griliches’s data on the adoption of hybrid corn by farmers in the Midwestern and Southern states and builds upon the logistic analyses that Griliches did of those data. In contrast, energy input into a social system is a function of relative benefits or reinforcement. Reinfor…

The Diffusion of Collective Violence
Reoriented duct flows of generalised Newtonian fluids are an idealisation of non-Newtonian fluid flow inindustrial in-line mixers. Based on scaling analysis and computation we find that non-Newtonian duct flowshave several limit behaviours, in the sense that such flows can become (nearly) independent of one or moreof the rheological and dynamical control parameters, simplifying the general flow and mixing problem. Theselimit flows give several le…
Arms Races: A Test of Two Models
This is an investigation of two models of arms races: Lewis F. Richardson's linear, additive, symmetric model and a curvilinear, asymmetric alternative based on the same interaction paradigm but with empirical equations from psychophysical experiments on perception as premises. Two hypotheses derived from each model are tested using data from seven arms races. In general, the data give stronger support to the curvilinear, asymmetric model which p…

Reinforcement and the Origin, Rate and Extent of Cultural Diffusion
Cultural diffusion occurs as a logistic process and the dependent variables in this investigation are origin, rate and asymptotes from logistic equations which were fitted by Zvi Griliches to through-time data on the adoption of hybrid corn in each of 132 crop-reporting districts. In multiplicative power functions measures, actual reinforcement to farmers explained 57 percent of the variance in the rate of adoption, expected reinforcement to farm…

On Dummy Variable Regression Analysis: A Description and Illustration of the Method
This paper is concerned with the description of a specialized form of linear regression analysis commonly known as "dummy variable" regression analysis. Efforts are made to show the relationship between "dummy variable" regression analysis and other multivariate analysis techniques with a specific emphasis on the kinds of problems and data that sociologists deal with where "dummy variable" regression analysis is particularly appropriate and usefu…
