Some Fundamental Categories of the Theory of Action
Theory in the social sciences should have three major functions. First, it should aid in the codification of our existing concrete knowledge. It can do so by providing generalized hypotheses for the systematic reformulation of existing facts and insights, by extending the range of implication of particular hypotheses, and by unifying discrete observations under general concepts. Through codification, general theory in the social sciences will hel…

Communisn, Conformity, and Civil Liberties
If there is a-desert island book in the conduct of social research, it is arguably this book. Whether in terms of sociological structures or psychological nuances, Communism, Conformity, and Civil Liberties, originally published in 1955, is recognized landmark. Stouffer helped strengthen the fundamental liberties of all Americans by showing dangerous consequences of efforts to thwart perceived Communist conspiracy, including some of the very real…

And 1954
In his address before the 1954 meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, President Samuel Stouffer described some of the ways in which public opinion analysts are helping to combat the forces which currently threaten freedom and democracy. To continue serving the needs of their society and to contribute most of our understanding of a complex world, President Stouffer believes social scientists must take a long range view of…
Measurement in Sociology
A Technique for Improving Cumulative Scales
This paper introduces what is called the H-technique for building cumulative scales with increased precision. The method simply consists of determining a given cutting point in a Guttman or Lazarsfeld latent distance scale not by means of a single response but rather by means of several responses, which are formed into a new “contrived item.” The objective is to maximize the information available from the basic data, and hence to strengthen confi…

Role Conflict and Personality
This paper explores operational procedures for linking the study of social norms with the study of personality. A social norm can be inferred from respondents' reports as to role obligations in a specific social situation. To the extent that an individual is consistent, in varying types of situations, in reporting one type of role obligation rather than another, this tendency is considered a personality predisposition. Data, based on a questionna…

Some Observations on Study Design
Quick plausible "answers" in sociology and social psychology are rewarded in our culture; tedious, modest experimental design is not in demand, and hence our discipline is not cumulative. In study design the ideal model is that of a controlled experimental, even if only a fraction of it. Since full experimental desing is very expensive and not always possible, those problems should be selected whose answers are worth the cost. This requires both …

Trends in the Fertility of Catholics and Non-Catholics
Analysis of the confinement rates of 40,766 urban families in Wisconsin shows that between 1919 and 1933 the fertility of Catholics declined at a faster rate than the fertility of non-Catholics. When the data were divided into twenty-four groups by residence, age of wife, occupation of husband, and interval after marriage, it was found that births among Catholic families fell off in twenty-three of the twenty-four groups, while in twenty-one grou…

Local Option and Public Opinion
The question "does the opportunity for a community to decide a public issue by vote tend to stabilize public opinion on that issue?" is interesting both to the practical statesman and to the theoretical student of public opinion. This paper is an attempt to supply facts, which, when combined with facts from further studies, should throw light on this problem. When subjected to a detailed statistical analysis, the votes at over 14,000 local-option…

A Technique for Analyzing Sociological Data Classified in Non-Quantitative Groups
For statistical treatment of sociological data when the dependent variable is on a quantitative scale and the independent variables are not, it is first important to test the significance of the difference between means in sub-classes. By new and simple procedures the significance of the sums of differences between averages and of differences between differences, holding constant other factors, may now be tested. Application of these procedures t…
Testing the Significance of Comparisons in Sociological Data
To explain the difference in parole violation rates of lone and group offenders, a large group of parole cases were successively subdivided as native or foreign born, as having or not having a previous criminal record, and finally, as group or lone offenders. Among the foreign-born first offenders the difference in violation rates was significant; it was not significant, however, for recidivists. But a comparison between these two differences ind…

The American Soldier: Combat and Its Aftermath was the first comprehensive study ever undertaken of the attitudes of combat infantrymen in war.

This volume became the essential source of data on soldiers for scholar…
