The Nature of Theory and Research in Social Psychology aims to provide advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a solid foundation in the logic of theory construction and the experimental method; and to teach students how to read, critically evaluate, and appreciate professional literature in the behavioral sciences. The book is believed to be unique in this latter respect and that it will serve a vital need in several different courses. The book is organized into two parts. Part I contains a detailed exposition of the nature of theory and research. It discusses the nature of formal t

"The problem of suicide has so many aspects and such far-reaching implications that no short treatise can possibly cover all of them. The subject is bound up with the values that the individual and the community attach to life, with existing attitudes towards death, with racial habits and customs, with prevailing standards of life and the variations from such standards. Any attempt to deal completely with a question that has so many ramifications would baffle the skill of the most thoughtful student of human affairs. It is a study that concerns equally the physician and the lawyer, the teacher and the social worker, the statesman and the moralist, the priest and the philosopher.

Der vorliegende empirische Forschungsbericht des Zentralinstituts für Jugendforschung der DDR will am Beispiel der Universität Leipzig ein Bild des Bewußtseinsstandes von Studenten in der DDR vermitteln und Hinweise für die Hochschul- und Studentenpolitik geben. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht die Untersuchung der Studienbedingungen. In einer Befragung wurden einer Auswahl von Studenten der Universität sowie entsprechenden Kontrollgruppen zweier anderer Hochschuleinrichtungen Fragen zu folgenden Themenbereichen vorgelegt: (1) Allgemeine Atmosphäre am jeweiligen Fachbereich; (2) Mitarbeit in bestimmten Gremien der Universität; (3) Persönlicher Kontakt zu den Lehrkräften; (4) Soziale Kontakte in der Seminargruppe; (5) FDJ-Arbeit; (6) Kollektive Studienarbeit; (7) Einbeziehung in die Forschung; (8) Praktika und Übungen; (9) Tätigkeit als Propagandist; (10) Tätigkeiten in Interessengemeinschaften, Kulturgruppen und ähnlichen Organisationen; (11) Kulturelle Angebote der Stadt Leipzig; (12) Eigene Wohnverhältnisse. Darüber hinaus hatten die Studenten die Möglichkeit, hemmende und förderliche Studienbedingungen zu benennen. Eine zusammenfassende Bewertung der Ergebnisse erfolgt nicht, Interpretationen erscheinen innerhalb der einzelnen Themenbereiche. (ICC)

"This study was undertaken as a fulfillment of the thesis requirement for a doctorate. As the problem evolved in my mind the study ceased to have any external obligatory character and became the organization and expression of my own thought and philosophy in the case work field. This philosophy has been taking shape over the twenty-year period of my association with social work, particularly during the past ten years of my interest as a teacher of social case work. While the following pages have been written solely out of the necessity to organize my own thinking and not from any consideration of the needs of the case work field, in publishing this book I have had in mind an audience of teachers, supervisors, and case workers who are occupied, as I am, with these problems of relationship"--Preface.

"Unique and important . . . Patterns of Culture is a signpost on the road to a freer and more tolerant life." -- New York Times A remarkable introduction to cultural studies, Patterns of Culture is an eloquent declaration of the role of culture in shaping human life. In this fascinating work, the renowned anthropologist Ruth Benedict compares three societies -- the Zuni of the southwestern United States, the Kwakiutl of western Canada, and the Dobuans of Melanesia -- and demonstrates the diversity of behaviors in them. Benedict's groundbreaking study shows that a unique configuration of traits defines each human culture and she examines the relationship between culture and the individual. Featuring prefatory remarks by Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, and Louise Lamphere, this provocative work ultimately explores what it means to be human. "That today the modern world is on such easy terms with the concept of culture . . . is in very great part due to this book." -- Margaret Mead "Benedict's Patterns of Culture is a foundational text in teaching us the value of diversity. Her hope for the future still has resonance in the twenty-first century: that recognition of cultural relativity will create an appreciation for 'the coexisting and equally valid patterns of life which mankind has created for itself from the raw materials of existence.'" -- from the new foreword by Louise Lamphere, past president of the American Anthrolopological Association Ruth Benedict (1887-1948) was one of the most eminent anthropologists of the twentieth century. Her profoundly influential books Patterns of Culture and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword: Patterns of Japanese Culture were bestsellers when they were first published, and they have remained indispensable works for the study of culture in the many decades

"This book deals with the sociology of rural life, emphasizing the analysis of social institutions in the rural environment and the various forms of social interaction among rural groups. Part I consists of a review (Chapter 1) and a preview (Chapter 2). Part II deals with the problem of human adjustment to physical environment, an especially critical matter for farm people. Part III deals with population trends, characteristics, and movement. The section on population is deliberately shortened, not because the author does not consider the topic important, but because more extended treatment is not justified in a beginning course. Much of the population data ordinarily treated in separate chapters is discussed in the book in such chapters as the family, school, church, and other institutions. Ethnic data are considered somewhat in the chapter on assimilation. However, the teacher who wishes to do so may supplement and expand the population material by outside reading. Following the treatment of the role of physical environment in rural society, and the characteristics of the population, there is in Part IV a series of chapters dealing with the basic forms of social interaction, or the social processes. Finally, in Part V is the analysis of the basic institutions of rural society"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)

"This study seeks at least partial answers to three questions: 1. How does youth in various countries view the future? An outlook on the future is admittedly a many-faceted affair, involving as it does political, economic, and social expectations as well as personal hopes and aspirations. We are interested in all these facets, but our chief interest is in the way the present dark and uncertain world situation affects youths' attitudes toward their personal lives and future careers. 2. Do young people in different countries view their futures in essentially the same way? If we find a uniformity of peaceful ideals and intentions we may have reason to hope for a better world. If, however, we find little uniformity, we must try to delineate the chief national differences. They may be so striking that we shall be forced to affirm the existence of diverse national characters and perhaps abandon the hope that advances in communication and growing similarity in educational practices are creating a single world community. 3. Is international social research at the present time practicable and beneficial? If the investigation here reported proves to be rewarding we may hope that additional problems of worldwide importance may soon receive concerted study and constructive analysis by social scientists in many lands. The movement toward international social research is, as we have said, already under way. But each new attempt has something to teach us concerning the advantages and limitations of such investigations."--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
