Fifty Years of Sociology
What follows is a personal appraisal of the development of sociology over the past 50 years. The 1930s were a time of high hopes, empirically (field studies, new statistical techniques) and theoretically (for instance, functionalism and operationalism). The great achievement of sociology has been its development of statistical techniques, but these have had the effect of inhibiting field studies. In theory, sociology has remained divided into a n…

The Present State of Sociological Theory
Sociology has fractured into a number of schools, each claiming to be distinct from the others and to have its own theory. The trouble with the theories is that most of them fail to make their general propositions explicit. Were they made explicit, all the theories would turn out to contain at least the general propositions of behavioral psychology, and the intellectual unification of sociology could begin. The paper discusses the reasons why man…

The Origins of English Individualism
In a work entitled The Origins of English Individualism, which will appear at roughly the same time as this article, I have assembled the evidence to support a new thesis concerning the nature of English social and economic structure between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. Since the results of this work have implications for those who would not normally read a book on English social history, it is worth repeating them to a wider audience…

Social Behavior as Exchange
To consider social behavior as an exchange of goods may clarify the relations among four bodies of theory; behavioral psychology, economics, propositions about the dynamics of influence, and propositions about the structure of small groups
Bringing Men Back In
A theory of a phenomenon is an explanation of it, showing how it follows as a conclusion from general propositions in a deductive system. With all its empirical achievements, the functional school never produced a theory that was also an explanation, since from its general propositions about the conditions of social equilibrium no definite conclusions could be drawn. When a serious effort is made, even by functionalists, to construct an explanato…

Status Among Clerical Workers
Students of industrial organization have long been interested in the connection between the relative status of workers on different jobs and the characteristics of these jobs, especially differences in pay. But surprisingly few studies of this connection have been reported in any detail. In this paper, I shall describe how a group of workers complained because the high status conferred on them by some features of their job was not reflected in ot…
The Cash Posters
There are certain ways, however, in which the approach may be adapted to take account of the time dimension. For one thing, the respondent may be asked directly about changes, about his recollection of the past and his predictions about the future. For another, the same respondents may be interviewed repeatedly at different points of time. This use of the panel technique for the study of interpersonal orientations seems to offer great promise of …

The Strategy of Industrial Sociology
Industrial sociology needs more than one set of methods. So far, field work has been dominated by observation and the nondirective interview, and methodological thinking has been preoccupied with discovery, social organization, and the conceptual social system. In the future there should be greater insistence on quantitative methods and analytical concepts

The Small Warship
MR Y EXPERIENCE in World War II was different, I believe, from that of most social scientists who entered government service. For many years I had been an officer of the Naval Reserve, so that when the time came, instead of being assigned to some such field as public opinion analysis or military government, which were obviously related to sociology as an academic discipline, I was sent to sea as an ordinary line officer. And out of four and half …

The Puritans and the Clothing Industry in England
Since Baxter, as a Puritan preacher who exercised his ministry for many years in a clothing town-Kidderminster in Worcestershire-was in an excellent position to know what he was talking about, his classification is entitled to much weight. Of particular interest, however, is the last part of his assertion-that dealing with the'cloth-makers' adherence to the Parliamentary side. By customary assumption, the men who supported Parliament were also, v…
