Broken Homes
A merged sample of eight of the General Social Surveys provided the data for analyzing stability and change in childhood homes since the beginning of the century. Cohort membership and two measures of social disadvantage were used as explanatory variables in analysis of the risk of growing up in a broken home and of the living arrangements of children with broken homes. The risk of a broken home by age 16 proved to be stable across cohorts and gr…
Love and Work
This paper presents another successful test of a causal explanation predicting whether ties with wife's kin or with husband's kin will be closer. The causal explanation involves the division of labor between husband and wife, and the usefulness of kin in their tasks. Household sharing by a married couple and parents was the specific kin tie examined. Data on white households in the Public Use Sample of the 1900 U.S. Census substantiated the predi…
Factor Analysis and Measurement in Sociological Research
Social Origins, Education, and Fraternal Mobility
In Australia and Norway, education makes brothers alike in mobility, and groups of brother different, to a considerably greater extent than it generates individual differences which are independent of group membership. These findings imply that education cannot be regarded as an egalitarian influence merely because it is a means to mobility. Comparison of several societies shows them to be almost alike in degree of fraternal similarity in educati…
The Occupational Mobility of Sibling Groups
A new aspect of intergenerational occupational mobility is investigated in this paper: the occupations of all sons in a sample of families, rather than the occupation of only one son per family. Taking all sons whose fathers' occupations are the same, do these sons disperse individually over a range of occupations, or do they tend to cluster in family groups, so that one group of brothers is concentrated around one occupational level while other …
The Structure of Sibling Relationships
The separation of men's work from a family setting brings about greater female involvement in ties with relatives. Two specific hypotheses about sibling relationships developed from this laterality hypothesis were tested with data from an urban Finnish sample. The findings were interpreted as indicating the existence of a strong brother-brother tie among children of farmers combined with a sister-dominated communication pattern of the kind typica…
Intergenerational Ties in Finnish Urban Families
Ties between couples and wife's parents are closer than ties with husband's parents in families in urban industrial societies. A crucial factor in this matrilateral emphasis is separation of the husband's work role from connections with kin. These general hypotheses were formulated on the basis of an extensive review of previously available evidence. Specific predictions were formulated as to (1) matrilateral emphasis in intergenerational ties, a…
Attitudinal and Social Factors Associated with Use of Seat Belts
To identify attitudes related to of automobile seat belts which would be relevant to educational campaigns to increase use, three attitude scales were constructed. These were found to differ significantly between high use drivers, low use drivers, and those without seat belts. Correlation of these scales with indicated that men found the Seat belts are good equipment theme the most relevant to whether to seat belts; that women found the Seat belt…
Path Consistency in Directed Graphs and Social Structure
Internal order, or congruity of relationships, affects whether a social structure can exist and be effective. It should be possible to state "rules of combination" to describe internal order. The specific structures investigated are triadic kinship structures. Directed graphs provide a suitable, content-free means for stating rules of combination. Erroneous applications of the theory of balance in signed digraphs to kinship ties are pointed out. …

Urbanization and the Patrilineal Transmission of Farms in Finland
Farm households in Finland and Sweden are an exception to what appears to be a general rule in industrial societies. The general rule is that households containing married couples and parents more often include wives' parents than husbands' parents. This has been found to be true in the U. S., in London, and in Finland and Sweden 1). Finnish and Swedish farmers, on the other hand, more often share the household with husband's parents rather than …
