Sociology and a General Understanding of Social Life
The Sociological Core
Sociology is often portrayed as an errant discipline, driving forward without any apparent direction or purpose. We contend that these perceptions about the central tenets of our discipline derive from a lack of standardization of core material, which reduces the social value of sociology as a scientific field and erodes its credibility as a discipline. Insofar as common conceptual knowledge exists in the field of sociology, one ought to find evi…

Disciplinary Culture and Organizational Dissonance
In this essay, I examine the contextual and historical relationship between the national and regional associations in American sociology. Four findings emerge from the analysis of this relationship. First, the regional associations underutilize the populations they represent. Second, the constituencies of the national and regional associations are diverging. Third, the regional associations appear no longer to serve as a viable pathway for involv…

The Context of Scientific Achievement
Within the sociology of science, there exists a substantial literature showing that males, on average, publish more than females. This literature directs our attention toward organizational contexts and the timing of publication as promising factors bearing on cumulative scholarship outcomes. In this inquiry, based on 2,910 persons who received doctorates in sociology between 1972 and 1976, we isolate the importance of organizational context to e…

The Institutional Context of Departmental Prestige in American Higher Education
Departmental ratings for research doctorate programs in the United States are frequently placed within a theoretical framework that represents an egalitarian science enterprise based on the meritorious performance of their faculty and students. From this viewpoint, there is no need to examine the institutional context of academic departments because distinction is viewed as a matter of merit rather than affiliation. Juxtaposed to this perspective…

The Context of Educational Opportunity
Students' abilities to transfer from community colleges to baccalaureate-granting colleges and universities is an area that has produced considerable discourse during the twentieth century. Recent scholarship suggests that opportunities to transfer depend on the organization and curricular direction of community colleges, an outcome predominately influenced by educational administrators and elected state representatives. This article employs a ma…
Training Sociologists
The individual and departmental factors affecting graduate students' professional socialization were studied by employing data from 309 PhD students in 16 graduate programs in sociology. Using Rosenbaum's tournament model of opportunity structures and aspects of Tinto's model of social psychological integration, this study examines students' access to initial funding, resources in the department, indicators of prior ability, current professional …

Ils montrent que ceux qui font le plus appel a des sources populaires (journaux, magazines) correspondent a des ouvrages a caractere plus scolaire que proprement scientifique.

The Institutional Structure of Eminence
This study examines the reputational ratings of twenty disciplines using data from the 1982 Conference Board of Associated Research Councils to identify the extent to which such ratings can produce meaningful rankings of universities. Given that perceptions of departments and universities reflect social psychological images about the relative value of the program or school, such images can have powerful implications for hiring, recognition and th…

Parental divorce and the well-being of children
This meta-analysis involved 92 studies that compared children living in divorced single-parent families with children living in continuously intact families on measures of well-being. Children of divorce scored lower than children in intact families across a variety of outcomes, with the median effect size being .14 of a standard deviation. For some outcomes, methodologically sophisticated studies yielded weaker effect sizes than did other studie…
Parental Divorce and Adult Well-Being
Separation from a Parent during Childhood and Adult Socioeconomic Attainment
This study estimates the impact of a separation from a biological parent during childhood on adult socioeconomic attainment Data were drawn from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH). For white males, white females, black females, and, to a lesser extent, Hispanic females, respondents who experienced a separation had lower levels of attainment than those who lived continuously with both parents. However, no significant association…

of Nebraska during the spring of 1901, after being curtly dismissed from Stanford University the previous December in a controversial freedom of speech case (cf., Weinberg 1972). Ross was the first Professor of Sociology, per se, at Nebraska. During the five years (1901)(1902)(1903)(1904)(1905)(1906)) he taught at Nebraska, Ross' publications instrumentally shaped the character of the new discipline of sociology in the United States. On the basis…
