From Slave To Free Labor In The Brazilian Sugar Industry: The Political-Economy Of Social Control And Crime In Pernambuco, 1850-1922, Martha Diane Knisely Huggins

Doctoral Dissertations

Between 1850 and the turn of the century the dominant mode of production in the export sector of Pernambuco shifted from a slave to quasi-capitalist. The labor transition was not an evolutionary outgrowth of existing work relations--it involved struggle and coercion. The first part of this research shows how repressive social control effected the transformation of the mode of production; the second part looks at a product of the transformation, crime.

This research focuses on a frequently overlooked type of human intervention, social control, as a source of structural change, and places the motives of modernizing elites in a less …

The Sociological Critique Of American Sociology, 1960-1978: Its Shortcomings And Its Promise, Gerald Allen Ginocchio

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation represents an attempt to explicate and critically analyze an important movement in contemporary American sociology. This movement, which I am calling the sociological critique of American sociology, aimed to change predominant trends in American sociology. Basic tenets of sociological practice were called into question, such as the principle of value neutrality, an empirical methodology, and a functionalist theoretical framework. The goal of this critical movement was to bring about a more significant sociology, a sociology which would lead the way to the realization of a more humane social order. In general, however, the criticisms offered by these critical …

Maintenance Of Nonsmoking Following Self-Initiated Cessation, Susan J. Goldstein

Doctoral Dissertations

The process of trying to maintain abstinence from cigarettes was assessed in a longitudinal, descriptive study of self-initiated quitters. Participants completed: (1) a preliminary questionnaire; (2) six follow-up questionnaire packets mailed to them monthly; and (3) a final questionnaire sent with the sixth follow-up packet.

Abstainers and relapsers differed in the following ways: (1) Relapsers more often indicated cessation goals which left open the possibility of future smoking; (2) Although both groups began their participation with relatively high levels of commitment to quit, abstainers' levels were slightly higher than relapsers'. At the conclusion of their participation, relapsers' commitment to quit …

Women And Work In Transition: Their Work Participation, Social Class, Sex Role And Political Attitudes, And Alienation, Lawrence Allen Rosenberg

Doctoral Dissertations

The focus of this dissertation is the transition of American women's economic positions during the last two centuries. Women's participation in the economy has developed from that of the preindustrial period, in which women were primarily partners in an agricultural economy, through several stages during the development of industrialism and urbanism, when most women were housewives, to the present situation in which over 50% of women are active participants in the labor force of an advanced industrial economy. This transition has been characterized not just by increasing numbers and changing characteristics of women participating in the work force, but by …

The Seasonality Of Pathology: A Sociological Analysis, M Keith Farrington

Doctoral Dissertations

This study looks at the seasonal periodicity of a number of different social pathologies, including suicide, mortality resulting from disease, the onset of physical illness, and criminal behavior. Using time-series data from the United States, for 132 consecutive months between 1965-1975, it is found that virtually all of the behaviors investigated do demonstrate some consistent pattern of seasonal incidence.

A sociological theory, based upon the macro-level concept, "the pace of social life," is suggested as the cause of these seasonal variations in pathology. This theory contends that, for reasons which are cultural, economic and/or climatological in nature, certain periods of …

Validity And Reliability Of Final Say Decision Measures Of Marital Power, Craig Marshall Allen

Doctoral Dissertations

The final say decision measure of marital power has fared poorly in several studies which have examined its validity. This research was designed to explore two possible explanations for these findings: (1) inadequate or inappropriate procedures in previous validity studies, and (2) weaknesses of the final say measure itself, including insensitivity to item saliency and the discrepancies in responses between family members.

Several US samples and one from India provided the data for this study. These samples had been gathered in other studies in which husbands', wives' and/or children had responded to the final say decision index. Up to three …

The Status Of Women And Wife-Beating In The U S: A Multi-Level Analysis, Kersti Alice Yllo

Doctoral Dissertations

The relationship between status of women and wife-beating has been the subject of some debate. It has been argued that sexual inequality is one of the central causes of wife abuse (Dobash and Dobash, 1980; Martin, 1976). On the other hand, some claim that the charges being brought about by the Women's Movement are resulting in an increase in wife-beating. Researchers in the field of family violence have speculated on the connection between the two phenomena (Whitehurst, 1974; Straus, 1976; Dobash and Dobash, 1977). To date, the relationship between the status of women on the societal level and wife-beating has …

Sex Role Stereotypes: A Study In Verbal Interaction, Edmond Sydney Temple

Doctoral Dissertations

Sociologists appear in agreement that sex is a primary role allocator in our society, or, in the perspective of Hughes (1945), sex is a master status. Parsons and Bales (1955) have implicity built upon this in the formulation of their Sex Role Differentiation Theory in which role sets for male.

Reducing Disparity In Judicial Sentencing: A Social-Psychological Approach, Siegfried Ludwig Sporer

Doctoral Dissertations

Researchers from diverse disciplines--e.g. sociologists, criminologists, political scientists, legal observers, and most recently also psychologists--have studied judicial sentencing. More than half a century of research, employing multiple methodologies, strongly demonstrates that the unguided use (or abuse) of discretion has frequently led to vast disparity in judicial sentencing; i.e. large variations among sentences given for highly similar offenses and/or offenders. Among the various reform proposals reviewed, sentencing councils have been suggested as a constructive solution to reduce sentencing disparity without abandoning judicial discretion or displacing disparity to other agents in the criminal justice system.

The present research attempts to demonstrate the …
