Mainline And Peripheral Agriculture: Toward Generic Classification Of Farms, Carlton R. Sollie, Wolfgang Frese

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

An examination of the state of the art in the classification of farms indicates a need for more work. Classification of farms by size has been widely used and found serviceable. In a capitalistic social system, such as the United States, the most appropriate measure of the relative contributions of farms of different sizes appears to be the market value of products they sell. Accordingly, a preliminary generic typology of U.S. farms, based on published data, is proposed in which Mainline, Marginal, and Peripheral types are identified.

Economic Dualism In American Agriculture, Gary P. Green, William D. Heffernan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Renewed interest in agriculture by sociologists has led to an emphasis on structural analyses of rural America. Drawing upon the dual economy model, this paper proposes an alternative concept of the changing structure of agriculture in the United States. Two industrial sectors--the core and the periphery--are defined, and their relevance to agriculture is explored. Following Averitt, agriculture is an industry which historically has had a periphery-type orientation but is now undergoing encroachment from the core economy and partially from domination by the federal government. The research implications of the dual economy model for rural sociology are discussed.

Incidence, Magnitude, And Determinants Of Off-Farm Income In Tennessee And The South, Surendra P. Singh

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The major objectives of this study are to identify the incidence and magnitude of of f-farm income in Tennessee and the South and to determine factors affecting off-farm income of a select group of farm families. Regression models were estimated using cross-sectional data collected from 193 randomly selected farm families in two Tennessee counties. Two models were estimated: the first, for the farm operator's off-farm income; and the second, for the total off-farm income of the family. The study revealed various socioeconomic factors affecting total off-farm family income and operator's off-farm income. Elasticities were also determined for each of the …

Factors Contributing To Reported Home Energy Conservation Behavior, Lionel J. Beaulieu, Michael K. Miller

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This study extends and refines previous works by considering the relative influence that key attributes have on two types of conservation initiatives: repetitive activities requiring minimal time or cost and nonrepetitive conservation practices that entail sizable financial outlays. Data collected in a 1979 statewide survey in Florida demonstrate that while several socio-demographic variables are significant predictors of reported conservation behavior, personal perception and definition of economic circumstance is the single most important predictor.

Farm Operation Characteristics, Institutional Support, And The Use Of Soil And Water Conservation Technologies, Peter F. Korsching

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Technologies to control the severity of soil erosion and water pollution are available, and a large institutional structure supports soil conservation work, but success has been rather limited. This study of a sample of farmers in the three watersheds in central Iowa tests a number of hypotheses about the use of conservation technology. Institutional support factors were found to have a stronger relationship to the use of conservation practices than farm operation characteristics. The erosion potential of the land was conditional for specific conservation practice utilization. The use of institutional resources was positively related to farm size and scale. Thus …

Teenage Vandalism In Georgia, Douglas C. Bachtel

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data gathered from a selected nonmetropolitan and a metropolitan county in Georgia suggest that most junior and senior high school students had engaged in at least one act of vandalism in the previous 12 months. Vandalism most often occurred among groups of four or more people, on weekends, and outside one's own neighborhood. Reduction of teenage vandalism involves consideration of peer group influence, leisure activities, and deterrence measures.

Hunger Strikes And The State's Right To "Force Feed": Recent Australian Experience, Mark Findlay

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Whether or not it is the nature of the protest itself which makes it unsuitable for resolution in a court-room situation, the case law relating to "hunger strikes" (and State's response) is both sparse and insignificant. Perhaps on the basis of its uniqueness alone, the case of Schneidas v. Corrective Services Commission(New South Wales) and Others should be of particular interest to jurists on both sides of the Irish border.

The Effects Of Validation Versus Reality Orientation Approaches In Music Therapy With Disoriented Elderly Adults, Debra Diane Harvey

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Validation and Reality Orientation in a music therapy setting with disoriented elderly adults. Subjects (age 80 and older) were divided into four treatment groups, two each of Validation and Reality Orientation (total n=19). The groups met for thirty minutes, five days a week, for six weeks. Pre and posttest measures of orientation, ego integrity, and behavior were compared using a one-way analysis of variance on mean gain scores. Results showed a significant improvement (p<.05) on the measure of ego integrity in the Validation treatment groups. No other significant differences were found for either treatment group on the measures of orientation or behavior. Recommendations for further investigation include more attention to specific levels or orientation and behavior prior to treatment, and the use of a larger sample population.

Effect Of Father-Presence And Father-Absence On The Self-Concept Of Black Males In Special Education And Regular Education Classes, Queen Esther Woodard

Dissertations

This study compared the self-concept of Black males residing in father-present and father-absent low socioeconomic status homes, who were between the ages of 8-12, and who were enrolled in emotionally impaired, or regular education classes. Literature indicated that since 1970, the number of children reared in one-parent homes has increased by over 60%, with over 90% of these children living with their mothers. This changing lifestyle has prompted researchers to investigate the effects of father-absence on children; especially on boys.

It was hypothesized that self-concept would be influenced by father status, chronological age, and class placement. These three independent variables …

Violence In College Students' Dating Relationships, Carol K. Sigelman, Carol E. Jordan-Berry, Katharine A. Wiles

Office for Policy Studies on Violence Against Women Publications

In a survey of 504 college students examining predictors of violence in heterosexual relationships, over half of both men and women had committed at least one physically violent act. Modest associations between physical violence and sexual aggression were uncovered. In a series of discriminant analyses, men who abused their partners were not readily distinguished from men who did not, but tended to by young, low in family income, traditional in attitudes toward women, abused as children, currently living with a women, and from Appalachian areas.
