Explanations Of Pedophilia: Review Of Empirical Research, Sharon Araji, David Finkelhor

Sociology

This article reviews empirical research to discover what support exists for theories that attempt to explain why adults become sexually interested in and involved with immature children. These theories are first organized into four basic categories: emotional congruence-why the adult congruence - why an emotional need to relate to a child; sexual arousl-why the adult could become sexually aroused by a child; blockage - why alternative sources of sexual and emotional gratification are not available; or disinhibition - why the adult is not deterred from such an interest by normal prohibitions. The review shows that the best experimental research has …

Toward A Theory Of Positive Deviance, Druann Maria Heckert

Doctoral Dissertations

Although many studies have been conducted in regard to groups or individuals deemed to be negative deviants, there is a relative dearth of theoretical or empirical analysis of positive deviance. This dissertation attempts to theoretically analyze the concept of positive deviance.

The literature related to positive deviance was examined and categorized. Positive deviance was defined as behavior that people label (i.e., publicly evaluate) in a superior sense and behavior that usually results because the behavior departs from that which is considered normal or normative.

In addition, the previously postulated examples of positive deviance were utilized to form a typology of …

Marital Power, Conflict And Violence (Negotiation Tactics, Egalitarian), Diane H. Coleman

Doctoral Dissertations

Conflict theory is used to analyze the relationship between marital power structure, the level of marital conflict and the rate of violence in a nationally representative sample of 2,143 American couples. Although previous authors suggest greater conflict in egalitarian relationships, other research demonstrates that there is less violence. Given the strong positive association between conflict and violence, a major question addressed in this research concerns this apparent contradiction.

Two explanations of this contradiction were empirically tested: (1) If the power structure is perceived as legitimate, the level of conflict and rate of violence may decrease, regardless of the actual power …

Status Integration And Alcohol Problems In The United States (Stress), John P. Colby

Doctoral Dissertations

This study examines the relation between status integration and alcohol problems in the United States. The study also tests the sociological hypothesis that the level of alcoholism in groups is a function of the extent to which those groups are characterized by norms which encourage or allow drinking and intoxication as means relieving stress. Measures of status integration (MSI's) are intended as group level indicators of role conflict and indicators of chronic stressful conditions.

The theory of status integration is tested by analyzing the relation of the MSI to alcohol outcomes for the fifty American states through zero-order and partial …

Maine's New Juvenile Code: A Case Study In Juvenile Justice Reform, Dennis William Macdonald

Doctoral Dissertations

The history of juvenile justice in the United States is largely a history of failed reform efforts. The most significant of these efforts was the establishment of the juvenile court at the turn of the century and the idea of "socialized" juvenile justice on which it was based. Because the objective was rehabilitation rather than punishment, constitutional rights applicable in criminal justice proceedings were deemed unnecessary. In response to a wave of criticism of "socialized justice," the "post-Gault era" of juvenile justice reform emerged in the early 1960's. These reforms promised both justice and help to juveniles in trouble.

Youth Culture In Ireland, Michele M. Dillon

Sociology

The forms of youth cultures which exist among school-going adolescents in Ireland are explored in this article. A survey, using a comparative research design of eight groups of school-going adolescents, was carried out in an attempt to explore a range of youth cultural behaviour patterns in Ireland. The eight groups were differentiated by social class, locational (urban-rural), gender and educational status positions. The findings of the survey indicated that the majority of the pupils were committed to school and were also involved in out-of-school youth cultures. Quite clearly pupils were not forced to choose one of two fundamentally opposed cultures, …

Gender And Mental Health: An Analysis And Reinterpretation (Demoralization, Social Class, Family), Gerald Thomas Hotaling

Doctoral Dissertations

Two research findings on sex roles and mental disorder have become a firm part of the knowledge base in the sociology of mental health and illness. The first of these is that, since around 1950, females consistently report higher overall rates of mental disorder than males. A second, related finding is that higher rates of female illness are due to the differential impact of family based statuses on the mental health of men and women.

It is the contention of this research that asking which sex is more mentally ill is the wrong question. Further, it is suggested that the …

Legitimacy And Self-Management In Socialist Yugoslavia: Contradictions And Reconciliations In Yugoslav Society, Jozef Figa

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation constitutes a sociological study of the problem of legitimacy. Yugoslavia serves as a case study and the basis for some general propositions. Following the definition of legitimacy the sources of the initial legitimacy of Communist governments are analyzed. While the general socio-economic conditions which accompanied the introduction of the Communist rule in Eastern Europe were also shared by Yugoslavia, the subsequent decentralization of Yugoslav economy altered that state of affairs. The manifest intention behind the introduction of the mechanism of self-management in economy and state administration was to enhance the grass-root influence over that decision-making. That goal has …

A Craving For History: Immigrant Themes In Jewish-American Literature, Jeffrey Saperstein

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation is a cross-generational study of three immigrant themes in Jewish-American literature: transformation, freedom, and connection. It covers a number of twentieth century writers whose central concerns revolve around issues of assimilation. Chapter I gives a brief overview of the topic.

Chapter II examines the various means by which the immigrant sought to achieve American status. Writers discussed include Mary Antin, Anzia Yezierska, Elias Tobenkin, Michael Gold, Norman Podhoretz, and Saul Bellow. Chapter III is an in-depth study of Abraham Cahan's The Rise of David Levinsky (1917), a rags-to-riches story of a poor immigrant's rise up the ladder of …
