Understanding Social Problems
Experiential Learning in Sociology
Despite increased popularity and a strong pedagogical tradition, the literature on community-based learning (CBL) initiatives and service learning evidences a certain conceptual imprecision. In the hopes of clarifying definitional ambiguities, we critically review the CBL literature, identifying six distinct types of CBL options and their characteristics. The result is a hierarchy of community-based learning, which while not proposed as a definit…
The Social Construction Of Family Life In The Sunday Comics
Using the Sunday comics as cultural artifacts, this research examines three cartoon families, "Dennis the Menace," "Calvin and Hobbes," and "Curtis." All of the families are nuclear; the fatheris a white-collar worker; the mother remains at home. Each family has a male child who is the central character. A major difference is that the first two cartoons depict white families whereas the third describes an African American family. Using content an…

The Differential Effects of the Minimum Drinking Age Law
This research is based on a comparison of the effects of a 21-minimum-age drinking law. Using two self-report samples of college students, one from a state where the minimum drinking age is 21 (N= 249) and another from a state where the minimum drinking age is 18 (N= 330), drinking behavior patterns are compared in terms of frequency, quantity, and location of consumption. The data suggest that the 21-minimum-age drinking law deters drinking in c…
Legal drinking age and alcohol consumption
Utilizing samples from two states, one where the legal age for the possession and consumption of alcohol was 18 (Louisiana) and one where the legal age was 21 (North Carolina), we examine the assumption that restricting access to alcohol results in lower alcohol consumption rates for the target population (age 18–20). We find little support for this assumption, but considerable evidence that restrictive legislation drives younger drinkers undergr…
An Empirical Examination of Two Models of Cultural Causation
The traditional macroscopic model of cultural causation advanced by Weber and modified by Parsons assumes that values provide onentation for human action. Thus, values are conceptualized as the intervening link between culture and behavior and in general, are viewed as predictive of human action. As an a/tentative model, Swidler asserts that cultures provide actors with a limited array of behavioral options. Because this array is finite and indic…
Asking Threatening Questions and Situational Framing
Although surveys are extensively used in sociology, there has been a relative neglect of the effect of task definition upon results obtained. The present article examines the effects of one such task variable, length and specificity of the cue, on response sets concerning the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumed. In one survey format, respondents were asked to report the average number of days drinking per month, and the average number of d…

Crime in One Long-Lived Comic Strip
A six-months run of the popular and long-lived newspaper cartoon, "Dick Tracy," was analyzed in terms of the frequency with which certain characters were used, the location and setting in which they appeared and the criminal activity and law enforcement technique portrayed. Also studied were physical characteristics of criminals and police, and the use of violence. The results indicated the continued theme of the cartoonist, Chester Gould, was a …
When 'critters' act like people
This paper examines anthropomorphism as a social phenomenon, using one of the most widely used modes of interpersonal communication, the birthday card, as the source of data. The sample consists of 535 birthday cards randomly selected from fourteen retail outlets in a metropolitan (SMSA) area. Each outlet represented a geographically distinct high‐traffic area varying in type of establishment (discount, drug, dime, department, grocery and card st…

The present paper examines the incidence of deviant messages and images in one of the most widely used modes of interpersonal communication, i.e., birthday cards. The sample consists of 535 birthday cards randomly selected from fourteen retail outlets in a metropolitan (SMSA) area. Each outlet represented a geographically distinct high‐traffic area varying in type of establishment (discount, drug, dime, department, grocery and card stores) and so…

The social psychology of power
After briefly reviewing contemporary theories of social power, their underlying assumptions are examined and discussed in relation to several controversial issues concerning the properties of power and power relations. It is concluded that much of the controversy is a function of the ambiguous use of such terms as control, manipulation, persuasion, inducement, force and authority. A tentative schema is then devised whereby the aforementioned term…
