Erwiderungen und Reaktionen

Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist der Untersuchung des Dialogs gewidmet. Sie umfast vier Teile: Der erste liefert Argumente fur eine Dialoganalyse, der zweite zahlt einige Mangel auf, der dritte wendet diese kritische Betrachtungsweise auf den Begriff der Erwiderung an und der vierte bietet einen zusammenfassenden Uberblick.

Le déploiement du genre

Abstract: En transposant le concept ethologique de paradea l’analyse des situations sociales, Goffman etudie ici l’utilisation par les hommes et les femmes des ressources de representations disponibles au sein des parades. Dans ces moments strategiques, ils donnent a voir une version d’eux-memes et de leurs relations. Les programmes de presentation du genre exprimes a travers l’utilisation de sequences de parade ne renvoient pas directement a la structure sociale ni meme aux relations generales entre les sexes. Neanmoins, les parades, qui sont transmises d’une generation a la suivante, font partie d’un systeme de croyance que l’on peut appeler la doctrine de l’expression naturelle. Selon cette doctrine culturellement datee, les contenus des parades repartis entre les femmes et les hommes sont interpretes comme des proprietes d’une « nature essentielle » masculine et feminine. Cette doctrine est si bien integree dans la culture qu’elle justifie l’ordonnancement dissymetrique implicite entre les sexes et qu’elle empeche toute remise en question de celui-ci.

The "What" and "Why" of Goal Pursuits: Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior

Abstract: Self-determination theory (SDT) maintains that an understanding of human motivation requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. We discuss the SDT concept of needs as it relates to previous need theories, emphasizing that needs specify the necessary conditions for psychological growth, integrity, and well-being. This concept of needs leads to the hypotheses that different regulatory processes underlying goal pursuits are differentially associated with effective functioning and well-being and also that different goal contents have different relations to the quality of behavior and mental health, specifically because different regulatory processes and different goal contents are associated with differing degrees of need satisfaction. Social contexts and individual differences that support satisfaction of the basic needs facilitate natural growth processes including intrinsically motivated behavior and integration of extrinsic motivations, whereas those that forestall autonomy, competence, or relatedness are associated with poorer motivation, performance, and well-being. We also discuss the relation of the psychological needs to cultural values, evolutionary processes, and other contemporary motivation theories.

Managing Legitimacy: Strategic and Institutional Approaches

Abstract: This article synthesizes the large but diverse literature on organizational legitimacy, highlighting similarities and disparities among the leading strategic and institutional approaches. The analysis identifies three primary forms of legitimacy: pragmatic, based on audience self-interest; moral, based on normative approval: and cognitive, based on comprehensibility and taken-for-grantedness. The article then examines strategies for gaining, maintaining, and repairing legitimacy of each type, suggesting both the promises and the pitfalls of such instrumental manipulations.

Qualitative analysis for social scientists

Abstract: The teaching of qualitative analysis in the social sciences is rarely undertaken in a structured way. This handbook is designed to remedy that and to present students and researchers with a systematic method for interpreting qualitative data', whether derived from interviews, field notes, or documentary materials. The special emphasis of the book is on how to develop theory through qualitative analysis. The reader is provided with the tools for doing qualitative analysis, such as codes, memos, memo sequences, theoretical sampling and comparative analysis, and diagrams, all of which are abundantly illustrated by actual examples drawn from the author's own varied qualitative research and research consultations, as well as from his research seminars. Many of the procedural discussions are concluded with rules of thumb that can usefully guide the researchers' analytic operations. The difficulties that beginners encounter when doing qualitative analysis and the kinds of persistent questions they raise are also discussed, as is the problem of how to integrate analyses. In addition, there is a chapter on the teaching of qualitative analysis and the giving of useful advice during research consultations, and there is a discussion of the preparation of material for publication. The book has been written not only for sociologists but for all researchers in the social sciences and in such fields as education, public health, nursing, and administration who employ qualitative methods in their work.
