Social exchange and causal attributionsWiseley, Philip Allen January 2000 (has links)
This dissertation investigates the relationship between social exchange and attributions within a non-negotiated exchange setting. Two general questions are the focus of attention in this effort to understand the relationship between social exchange and attributions. The first question investigates how the structure and process of exchange influences the internal/external attributions by actors. The second question investigates the influence of the internal/external dimension of causal attributions on exchange behavior. Hypotheses are developed about the effects of exchange on attributions, as well as the effects of attributions on exchange. The first question was addressed by using existing experimental data. To address the second question a new experiment was designed and conducted. Analyses of these experimental results investigate the link between social exchange and attributions.

PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF POLICE FUNCTIONS AND BEHAVIORUnknown Date (has links)
There has been very little research, however, on the question of how different race, class, age and other groups perceive the roles and functions of the police in society. The conceptualization and conduct of the research permits a partial testing of three alternative theoretical frameworks. / The three theoretical models are: (1) The Functional Model. This perspective, in short, would lead one to expect no major systematic differences between or among large groups in society concerning the functions and behavior of the police. (2) The Class Conflict Model. According to this theoretical perspective, one would expect to find major systematic differences concerning the police between socioeconomic groups, with the lower groups (lower class) more likely to perceive police functions and behavior as oppressive. (3) The Colonial Model. This perspective also emphasizes differences concerning police functions and behavior, but along race rather than socioeconomic group (class) lines, with blacks more likely to perceive police functions and behaviors as oppressive. / The major findings of the study are: (1) Perceptions of Police Brutality.--The variance in all three measures of perceptions of police brutality is mainly accounted for by the variable race. Blacks are more likely to perceive the episodes as cases of abusive police behavior. The colonial model appears to be supported. The only variable appearing in the model is socioeconomic status, but not in the way predicted by the class conflict model. According to the results of the analysis, higher rather than lower, socioeconomic respondents are more likely to perceive the episodes as instances of police brutality. (2) Police Functions.--In that it is not possible to construct a statistical model that adequately accounts for the variance in the perceptions of police functions variable, the functionalist model hypotheses concerning this variable seem to be supported to some extent. The statistical analysis, however, indicates that males and blacks hold considerably more negative views of police functions than other groups. Thus, the colonial model hypotheses seem to receive a modicum of support. The class/conflict model hypotheses are not supported. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-04, Section: A, page: 1211. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.

COHABITATION RELATIONSHIPS AMONG HOMOSEXUAL MALE AND FEMALE COUPLESUnknown Date (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the cohabitation relationships of homosexual males and females on the following variables: (1) demography, (2) nature of relationship, (3) household management, and (4) sexual activity. / The sample consisted of 153 homosexuals (70 males and 83 females) from 21 different states. Most of the respondents were from Louisiana, Florida, and Massachusetts. Each respondent had been cohabiting in a "quasi-marital" union for at least two months with the largest grouping in the one to five-year range. The occupations were varied with the largest groupings in management, education, and public services. / The data collection instrument was a questionnaire developed by the investigator. It was given on a test-retest basis to establish reliability and was checked for validity through personal interviews. / The questionnaire was distributed by contact persons who were identified through friends, homophile organizations, and newspaper ads. This method of distribution allowed the respondents to remain anonymous. / The results of the study indicated significant differences between the males and females on the following variables: (1) Degrees of Expression: Emotional Involvement, Satisfaction, and Division of Household Tasks, (2) Student Status, (3) Financial Arrangements, (4) "Marriage," (5) Masculine/Feminine Sex Roles, (6) Sexual Activity, and (7) Children. Social-learning theory provided the theoretical framework through which these differences were explained. / The conclusions of this study were that homosexual males and females form intimate and meaningful relationships based on emotional involvement and commitment as well as sexuality. The results also indicated that there are significant differences between the males and females on some of the cohabitation variables due to the differential socialization of males and females in our society. However, these results cannot be generalized to the homosexual population due to lack of randomness in the sample. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-06, Section: A, page: 1928. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
