TL;DR: The "woman question" is generally ignored in analyses of the class structure of society This is so because, on the one hand, classes are generally defined by their relation to the means of production as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The "woman question" is generally ignored in analyses of the class structure of society This is so because, on the one hand, classes are generally defined by their relation to the means of production and, on the other hand, women are not supposed to have any unique relation to the means of production The category seems instead to cut across all classes; one speaks of working-class women, middle-class women, etc The status of women is clearly inferior to that of men, but analysis of this condition usually falls into discussing socialization, psychology, interpersonal relations, or the role of marriage as a social institutionThis article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in fullClick here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified patterns of relationships between indices of organizational conflict and several measures of each of five organizational variables: structural differentiation, participation in the authority system, regulating procedures, heterogeneity and stability of personnel, and interpersonal structure.
Abstract: Patterns of relationships were identified between indices of organizational conflict and several measures of each of five organizational variables: structural differentiation, participation in the authority system, regulating procedures, heterogeneity and stability of personnel, and interpersonal structure. The measures were adapted from 1500 questionnaires and 600 interviews in 28 public high schools. It was found that size, specialization, hierarchy, complexity, staff additions and heterogeneity were related to organizational conflict; participation in the authority system and cohesiveness of peer group relations seemed to be conducive variables facilitating conflict; while experience and close supervision seemed to be integrative variables. However, it was also found that the same variables were correlated with conflict in different ways, depending upon the bureaucratic and professional context and the type of conflict involved. It is suggested that further descriptive research on patterns of organizational conflict must precede the construction of models of organization that allow for conflict.

TL;DR: In the field of social anthropology, social anthropologists themselves live lives in which friendship is probably just as important as kinship, and a good deal more problematic to handle, and have much less to say about friendship as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Although social anthropologists themselves live lives in which friendship is probably just as important as kinship, and a good deal more problematic to handle, in our professional writings we dwell at length upon kinship and have much less to say about friendship. I venture upon this article with a large measure of disbelief at anthropologists' efforts to uncover friendship. The meagre attention it has received seems to be a function of the formal traditions of our discipline, as much as anything else. For example, where we observe behaviour in the field between persons who are known to us to be cousins, we are very likely to analyse this behaviour in our writings as 'cousin behaviour'; but it may be no such thing; rather, it may be behaviour between friends. Significantly, socio-anthropological studies undertaken by someone whose formal training was not within the discipline (e.g. Laurence Wylie's (1957) monograph on the Vaucluse) and autobiographies by the anthropologists' 'primitives' themselves (e.g. Baba of Karo recorded by Mrs Mary Smith (I964)) frequently devote a good deal of attention to friendship, both as an intrinsic value of human life and as one woven into the fabric of kinship, economics and politics. However, I also believe that there are no short cuts in the comparative sociology of friendship. To begin with, we have to think hard about what we mean by the word 'friendship' when we use it; as Pitt-Rivers remarks in another connexion 'let us examine the objective status of the terms in which the quality of interpersonal relations are described' (I96I: I 8i). Secondly, the tradition of structural analysis in our discipline is surely indispensable when trying to compare the nature and function of friendship with those of other interpersonal relations to which it is close in one way or another. These are the two objectives of this article. Their explication leaves space for only a preliminary and partial treatment of crosscultural differences in friendship; instead, the argument proceeds to certain conclusions based on a notion of friendship in our own Western, middle-class culture.

TL;DR: The relationship of parentZ' trust of others to their college children's trust was investigated by the use of the Interpersonal Trust Scale as mentioned in this paper, where 100 male and 100 female college students, whose scores were, SD above or below the mean of a larger group, were selected.
Abstract: The relationship of parentZ' trust of others to their college children's trust was investigated by the use of the Interpersonal Trust Scale. 100 male and 100 female college students, whose scores were , SD above or below the mean of a larger group, were selected. Parents of these students were sent the same questionnaire and a high rate of return (67 percent) was obtained. Fathers appear to exert a significant influence on the attitudes of their sons, but have little effect on daughters. Mothers' scores show a weak statistical trend toward a small and equal effect on sons and daughters. Belief in interpersonal communications is a basic characteristic of a healthy society. Recently, dramatic attention has been brought to an alleged "credibility gap" regarding many of the statements about foreign affairs which spokesmen for government make and to the increasing evidence that the Negro has little faith in the promises of government officials on all levels. There may be an equally strong but less dramatic reduction in trust in general public reaction toward doctors, teachers, repairmen, and others. The need for studies of the development and maintenance of attitudes of trust or distrust is evident. The area of interpersonal trust is being viewed from the perspective of social learning theory (Rotter, 1954). According to this orientation, choice behavior in specific situations depends upon the expectancy that a given behavior will lead to a particular outcome or reinforcement in that situation and the preference value of that reinforcement for the

TL;DR: The Interpersonal Perception Technique has been applied to two groups of married couples and the results indicate that the patients are not markedly inferior to the controls on the measures of mutual marital insight which the technique makes available.
Abstract: The Interpersonal Perception Technique has been applied to two groups of married couples; one a group of 22 male alcoholic patients and their wives, and the other a non-psychiatric sample of 26 married couples similar to the patients in occupational status and social class. The results indicate that the patients are not markedly inferior to the controls on the measures of mutual marital insight which the technique makes available.
The most striking difference between the groups relates to the wives' description of their husbands. The control wives describe their husbands in a way which accords well with the husband's self-description, while the wives of the patients do not. We tested the hypothesis that this was partly determined by the presence in the control couples of a concept of male personality—a socio-sexual stereotype of masculinity—which they share, and that this stereotype is not present in the marriages of the patients and their wives. These hypotheses were fully confirmed.
The interpersonal relationship between the alcoholic and his wife is characterized by clear evidence of socio-sexual role confusion and by conflicting dependence-independence needs. The weight of the evidence favours the interpretation that it is the patient's neurotic difficulties rather than any pathology in his wife which has determined this interpersonal dilemma. This last generalization is discussed and will be the focus of a further study.
