Enculturation Into Secrecy Among Junior High School Girls
Secrecy has long been recognized as an important, and at times problematic, aspect of social life. While much has been written about the functions that secrets play in society, how individuals learn to use secrets remains relatively unexplored. Girls' accounts of their enculturation into secrecy reveal how they treated secrets as social objects and often depersonalized secrets when using them as social currency. Also, the absence of a well-develo…
The Meaning of Meanness
The dirty dozen was the name used by several teachers to refer to a clique of junior high school girls who were both mean and popular. In this school, the students used the term mean as a largely undifferentiated characterization for acts of commission and omission whose intent, or result, was to hurt someone emotionally. This article proposes that exploring the meaning of meanness is a starting point for understanding the connections between fem…
Information Versus Meaning
The cultural analysis that informs Marten's "Visibility and Vulnerability" article can neither be simply expanded by adding more variables nor simply assimilated to a framework that neglects meaning. The focus of the cultural analysis advocated here is the delineation of meanings used by cultural participants to shape and evaluate their own and their peers' actions. Such an analysis emphasizes emic categories as openings to understanding rejectio…

Visibility and Vulnerability
The correlates of rejection and the subtypes of rejected individuals have received considerable attention This article shifts the focus to the responses to rejection made by those who are rejected More specifically, it examines boys who were pejoratively labeled by their peers in junior high school. These boys were observed and interviewed during seventh grade and eighth grade as they responded in a variety of ways to their status of being reject…
Burnout as Cheerleader
The relationship between status categories and extracurricular activities is examined by considering an incident that produces a situation of status incon-gruity. In a suburban middle-class junior high school there is an important assumed congruence between the prestige of an individual's status category and the extracurricular activities in which she or he participates. When this tacit cultural assumption is violated in the selection of cheerlea…
Going-With
Romance is an especially rich and complex theme in American culture. This article explores how a particular social form, going-with, shapes the experiences of early adolescents as they begin their enculturation into romance. Examining going-with as a social form rather than as merely an activity illuminates some of the problems created by this social form as it constitutes the context in which individuals are obliged to pursue their attraction to…
The Cultural Context of Aggression
Starting with Bandura's 1979 formulation regarding the relationship between aversive experience and aggression, this paper asks the logically prior question-what are the cultural influences that lead attitudes or actions to be experienced as aversive? The focus is on aggression among junior high school students. The community culture of a middle-class suburb is identified as a significant contributor to the aggression found among these students
Teaching Styles and Performance Values in Junior High School
This paper examines three contrasting teaching styles in a middle-class junior high school. Previous conceptions of teaching styles have tended to focus on the ways in which the teacher organizes the specifically academic tasks and goals of the classroom. The school culture defines the transition from elementary to junior high school in terms of those capacities that enable individuals to reach high levels of performance. Thus, teachers think of …

Love and Commitment
Metaphor and Self
This study describes the symbolic process by which individuals attempted to realize, in organizational form, their variant interpretations of an extended metaphor-community mental health. Their metaphoric construals were embedded in everyday discourse and were initially unrecognized by participants at a community mental health center. The metaphoric process, that is, the movement involving the emergence, interpretation, and realization of these m…

Participant Observation and the Discovery of Meaning1
The Language of Adolescence
This paper examines the youth culture as a cultural system. It proposes that the model of the youth culture as a contraculture does not point to many of the most distinctive properties of the adolescent subculture. In order to appreciate the differences between adult and adolescent orientations to social reality, we mustlook at the meanings that peer-group norms have for adolescents. From this perspective, the youth culture is a genuinely indepen…
