Partly Fragmented, Partly Integrated: An Anthropological Examination Of "Postmodern Fragmented Subjects", Claudia Strauss

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

It has become commonplace for anthropologists, historians, and other researchers to discuss the cultural and historical construction of "selves." One now-classic description of this sort is the historian E. P. Thompson's account (1963, 1967) of the way industrial capitalism created a greater time consciousness among English factory workers. More recently, the literary critic Frederic Jameson has written about the psychological effects of late-20th-century capitalism. Using as his evidence works of architecture, poetry, music, and other artistic and intellectual productions, he has argued that (at least in the United States, the focus of his description) the standardization of our environment, saturation …

Are Union Jobs Worse? : Are Government Jobs Better?, John S. Heywood, W. S. Siebert, Xiangdong Wei

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

The determinants of job satisfaction are estimated from difference equations using four waves of the British Household Panel Study. We find that those moving into union jobs report a drop in overall job satisfaction and those moving into the public sector an increase. This finding reduces the likelihood that cross-sectional results showing lower overall job satisfaction for union members and higher satisfaction for public sector workers reflect individual-specific effects (endogeneity). However, we find that cross-sectional results on satisfaction with the working environment and with pay do, indeed, reflect individual-specific effects. Our difference equations indicate that while union workers complain more …

An Exploratory Study Of Clergy's Perceived Stress Related To Their Counseling Duties, Susan R. Monson

Theses and Graduate Projects

This exploratory study examined the possible relationship between clergy's level of counseling training and their perceived stress related to counseling duties. Interest in the topic stemmed from this researcher's social work field placement within a church counseling center. Ordained clergy belonging to United Methodist, Roman Catholic, and American Baptist churches were surveyed regarding amount of time spent counseling, counselling training, and perceived stress related to counseling. Findings differed from those previous studies on clergy stress that reported high stress levels. Less than half of clergy reported moderate to high stress levels. However, limited qualitative data provided in this study did …
