Mental Disorder
Sociologists who study mental disorder work from a number of assumptions that define and distinguish their approach from other ways of understanding mental disorder. First, they may view mental disorder as a normal consequence of social life caused by structured inequality rather than as a form of individual dysfunction. Second, they may regard mental disorder as the outcome of social processes that include the labeling of deviant behavior and st…

The bioethics of medical research in very poor countries
Sociologists have had only a marginal effect on the development of bioethical principles for medical research despite their interest in the effects of social and economic inequality on health and its implications for issues of social and individual justice. In this article we review existing bioethical standards for conducting medical research in very poor countries. Given the substantial differences in individual exposure to health risks and the…
Taking sociology seriously
After a history of neglect, bioethicists have recently turned their attention to the topic of infectious disease. In this paper we link bioethicists' earlier neglect of infectious disease to their under-appreciation of the extent to which the problem of infectious disease is related to social factors and thus to questions of justice. We argue that a social causation of illness model - well-known to sociologists of medicine, but incompletely under…
The Psychological Disease Burden in Nepal and Its Relationship to Physical Health Problems
Psychological disorders are a substantial part of the disease burden in many developing countries, yet few health services are directed toward the detection and treatment of these disorders. The relationship between psychological disorders and physical health problems was investigated by means of a community survey ( N =653) in a small village in Nepal, using a shortened version of the DSM-III-R Checklist to estimate the prevalence of several psy…
Mental Illness and Disability among Elders in Developing Countries
Documenting the extent of psychiatric disorder among elders in developing societies sensitizes health planners to the growing reality of aging in their societies and the need for expanded physical and psychiatric health care services
Measuring Community Mental Health in Developing Societies
Background: There is growing recognition of the importance of mental health problems in developing countries. In large part, however, we have very limited epidemiological data at national and/or community levels about the prevalence of mental illnesses. Aims: The purpose of this paper is to describe the reliability and validity characteristics of an assessment tool that may be useful for conducting community-level surveys (particularly in rural c…
Unbinding Time
Scheduling Stress
The effects of shift work and job schedule control on the family life and health of American workers are analyzed. Using data from the 1992 National Study on the Changing Workforce ( N = 2,905), this article tests whether negative family and health outcomes associated with nonstandard job schedules result from (a) problems of adjusting to the times of nonstandard shifts and/or (b) the lack of scheduling control and (c) whether schedule control me…
Recession and Well-Being
In this paper we address two related questions: how much do economic recessions affect the aggregate well-being of a population, and by what means? Using data from the 1973-77 Quality of Employment Panel of full-time workers who experienced the 1974-75 recession (N = 830), we answer these questions by using an analytic procedure that allows us to determine the percentage of total aggregate (mean) change in well-being attributable to various chang…

Stress and Mental Health
The Macroeconomic Context of Job Stress
Using data from the 1973-1977 Quality of Employment Panel Study, we test a model that conceptually links research on macroeconomic causes of stress with research on job structure causes of stress among employed workers. Results from LISREL 7 (Jöreskog and Sörbom 1989) indicate that, while both macroeconomic and job structure variables have significant cross-sectional and longitudinal effects on stress, the macroeconomic effects are almost entirel…
Caregiver network structure, support and caregiver distress
Examined the relationship between the structure of caregiver personal networks, support, and perceived distress. It is argued that network structure should have little direct effect on distress but should have indirect effects via support. Data from 83 family caregivers to chronically mentally ill family members living at home in Summit County, Ohio, are used to test these assertions. The results provide mixed support for the general hypothesis. …
Informal systems of care for the chronically mentally ill
Network range in personal networks
Microsocial Implications of the Macrostructural Distribution of Social Resources
The general purpose of this paper is to develop an explanation of how the macrostructural distribution of social resources affects the microsocial structure of personal social networks and, therefore, constraints on individual purposive action. Specifically, the paper attempts to provide a theoretical integration for two sets of recent findings; those noting status-related variations in personal network structures and those noting differential su…

Measuring Life Events
The investigation of the etiologic role of life events on illness has been hampered by a wide variety of methodological issues. This paper represents an attempt to describe these issues in a systematic way and to test them using data from a large community survey. Each issue (scope of item content, multidimensional structure, confoundedness with dependent variables, objective-subjective scoring, desirability) is outlined and its effect on the rel…
Theoretical Interpretations of Social Class and Racial Differentials in Legal Decision-Making for Juveniles
This paper examines three theoretical interpretations of the frequently observed relationship between social class, race and legal decision-making for juveniles. The literature provides only weak evidence of a social class differential, particularly at arrest and judicial decisions, but provides clear and consistent evidence of a racial differential operating at each decision level. Moreover, the differentials operate continuously over various de…
