Models of illegitimacy: United States, 1969
Three theoretical perspectives on illegitimacy, the anomie, the sub-group, and the demographic, are reviewed and compared. A composite causal model is then developed and estimated using areal data derived from the 1970 U.S. Census. While theoretical nonspecificity disallowed a definitive test, all three perspectives yielded valuable insight into the complex mechanisms underlying illegitimacy rates. Results indicate that variation in illegitimacy …
Structural determinants of childlessness: A nonrecursive analysis of 1970 U.S. rates
This study tests two theories accounting for observed relationships between U.S. rates of childlessness and sociodemographic characteristics using data on Black and white women aged 30–44 from the 1970 U.S. census. Traditional theory sees the observed correlations as spuriously caused by involuntary sterility, while voluntaristic theory interprets the associations as evidence of influences on the decisions of fecund couples to remain childless. W…
Measuring Attitudes toward Self and Others in Society: State of the Art
This study investigates the correlation between 31 social life tests within and across groupings by title, by concept, and by factor weights; also the principal dimensions of the 107 items appearing in those tests. Unadjusted test correlations tend to be larger within groupings than across them; however, correlations adjusted for overlapping items show little or no difference within and between groupings. Item correlations contain eight significa…
