Emotion Work, Feeling Rules, and Social Structure

Abstract: This essay proposes an emotion-management perspective as a lens through which to inspect the self, interaction, and structure. Emotion, it is argued, can be and ofter is subject to acts of management. The individual often works on inducing or inhibiting feelings so as to render them "appropriate" to a situation. The emotion-management perspective draws on an interactive account of emotion. It differs from the dramaturgical perspective on the one hand and the psychoanalytic perspective on the other. It allows us to inspect at closer range than either of those perspectives the relation among emotive experience, emotion management, feeling rules, and ideology. Feeling rules are seen as the side of ideology that deals with emotion and feeling. Emotion management is the type of work it takes to cope with feeling rules. Meaning-making jobs, more common in the middle class, put more premium on the individual's capacity to do emotion work. A reexamination of class differences in child rearing suggest that middle-...

Religious Conversion as a Personal and Collective Accomplishment

Abstract: Religious conversion has conventionally been treated as something that happens to the person. This represents a passivist paradigm within the mechanistic world view of classical science. An alternative paradigm is proposed from an activist perspective within a contextual world hypothesis typical of interactionist and dramaturgical analysis. In this view, conversion is treated as the accomplishment of an actively strategizing seeker interacting with the others constituting a religious collectivity. The approach is illustrated from the author's earlier investigations of how seekers act to discover and make use of a particular means of personal transformation offered by and institutionalized within a conversionist group. Problems of maintaining a transformed lfe and difficulties in conceptualizing conversion are discussed in some detail.

The "Moonies": A Psychological Study of Conversion and Membership in a Contemporary Religious Sect

Abstract: The authors undertook this study to enhance psychiatric understanding of contemporary charismatic religious sects. After a pilot study, a representative sample of members of the Unification Church (N = 237) completed a 216-item structured questionnaire. Respondents were below the mean for an age- and sex-matched group on a psychological general well-being scale, and they reported significantly greater neurotic distress before conversion. The authors discuss correlates of an improved emotional state following conversion and employ attribution theory, drawn from social psychology, to put the conversion process into a psychiatric perspective.

Speech markers in social interaction

Abstract: Originally published in 1979, this book presents an interdisciplinary study of the role of social markers in speech. Each chapter explores the nature and functioning of speech markers from a different social, biological or psychological perspective, and the volume offers a systematic survey of facts and ideas concerning the remarkable wealth of information that speech can convey. The final chapter is an attempt to view the subject from an integrated perspective and to develop a vocabulary and foundation for the development of interdisciplinary research. The volume will be of value to anyone with an interest in the general areas of language and communication, whether as anthropologists, linguists, ethologists, sociologists or psychologists.

Types of Rewards, Cognitions, And Work Motivation

Abstract: Work rewards often are conceptualized as being of two types: intrinsic and extrinsic. Further, cognitions associated with different types of rewards typically are conceived of in terms derived from attribution theory. A review of the grounds used to dichotomize reward types reveals they are inadequate for distinguishing types of rewards and a review of existing data on the nature of cognitions associated with work rewards indicates the attributional perspective to be deficient. Alternative approaches to the definition of types of work rewards and variants of cognitions mediating the relationship between work rewards and motivation are discussed.

Peer relations in hyperactive children

Abstract: SUMMARY This paper examined studies which bear on the peer relations of hyperactive children. Studies were reviewed and some new data reported under five headings: adult reports, self reports, and peer reports of problems with social interaction, direct observational studies, and studies of social cognition. Few studies actually address issues of peer relations in hyperactive children, although available evidence suggests that this is an area of deficit which should be considered more carefully from both a research and a treatment perspective.

Play: The Kindergartners' Perspective

Abstract: The Elementary School Journal Volume 80, Number 2 ? 1979 by The University of Chicago 0013-5984/80/8002-0008$00.75 The role of play in education is a major concern of early childhood educators. In colonial times, the tendency of children to play was taken to be a sign of their moral laxity, and adults admonished children to avoid the frivolity of play in favor of work and study (1). By the middle of the nineteenth century, attitudes toward play had changed. As adults began to value children for their innocence and youth, the play of children came to be seen as an expression of their innate zest for life, their curiosity, and their essential goodness. In 1896 George Herbert Mead called on educators to base children's early educational experiences on spontaneous play activities called forth by the proper use of natural stimuli (2). Froebel, Dewey, and Hall, for varied reasons, supported play in early childhood educational experiences (3); and play activities eventually became standard in most classrooms for young children. In public school systems, kindergarten classrooms continue to reflect this emphasis on the importance of children's play. Most kindergarten teachers view play as a natural and spontaneous activity of young children. Play is considered necessary for healthy mental, physical, and social development; play activities are meaningful and relevant to children, and simply providing the opportunity for healthy play appears sufficient to ensure that young children will involve themselves.

Marital Satisfaction over the Family Life Cycle: A Critique and Proposal.

Abstract: This paper examines the research which has explored the relationship between marital satisfaction and thefamily life cycle. It critically evaluates the research designs and assesses the methodological weaknesses which resulted in findings which are inconclusive, inconsistent, and ambiguous. The most convincing finding is represented as a curvilinear model. Varying interpretations of this model are presented herein. An alternative methodology is proposed which attempts to solve the problems exposed in past research efforts and which could be reconciled with reformulations of the developmental perspective which will take into account cultural changes.

Humor in advertising: A behavioral perspective

Abstract: Humorous appeals are used extensively in television, radio, and print advertising. This article examines the effectiveness of humor in accomplishing specific communications and sales objectives. A brief review of the literature on humorous advertising research is presented. The author argues that previous unsuccessful applications of light-hearted messages are attributable, in part, to our incomplete knowledge of how consumers process humorously conveyed information. The discussion focuses on the importance of recognizing and managing variables which mediate the impact of humor on audience response and on the need for further development and testing of behavioral theory as keys to the effective utilization of humor in advertising.

A perspective on noninvasive diagnosis of carotid disease

Abstract: Since C. Miller Fisher defined the clinical syndrome of carotid occlusive disease in 1951,’ physicians have sought methods of diagnosing common and internal carotid lesions without subjecting the patient to arteriography. A large number of noninvasive tests have been developed (tables 1 and 2,2-29), testifying to the difficulty in finding a fully satisfactory one and to the technologic advances that have multiplied the number of possible ways to monitor the anatomy and physiology of the carotid system. Some observers maintain a healthy skepticism about noninvasive diagnosis of carotid disease, claiming that the hemodynamic tests cannot tell us about atheromatous plaques and that the tests that provide anatomic information cannot resolve ulcerative lesions. Moreover, in 1979 we still do not fully understand the epidemiology of carotid disease, the pathophysiology of occlusive changes, the natural history. of carotid lesions, and the mechanism of ischemic insults distal to a diseased bifurcation. Therefore, we do not necessarily know which lesions are important for us to look for and act upon. Identification of asymptomatic lesions, for example, may lead to surgery that is not indicated. Other observers hisve become enthusiastic about the possibility of noninvasive diagnosis of carotid disease as a means of identifying a treatable cause of stroke and of learning about features of carotid lesions that may halve prognostic importance. At the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) we have, over the past 5 t o 6 years, developed a Carotid Evaluation Laboratory (CEL) and have worked with a variety of tests (table 3); therefore, we receive numerous inquiries about the direction of the field. Three common questions are asked: (1) “Can noninvasive diagnosis replace arteriography?” (2) “Is it any good?’ and (3) “Which is the best test?” The purpose of this editorial is to help put in perspective developments in noninvasive diagnosis of carotid disease. Briefly, noninvasive testing should not replace arteriography. It can be important in evaluating patients with suspected carotid lesions and in providing insights into the natural history and pathophysiology of carotid disease. No “best test” exists; rather, a battery of tests is most effective for noninvasive diagnosis of carotid disease. The instrumentation and techniques can be confusing. The same name may be applied to tests that monitor different functions (tables4 and 5 ) and the same physiologic event can be used to provide different types of information for several tests (table 6). We divide the techniques for noninvasive diagnosis into direct and indirect tests (table 2). The direct tests examine the anatomy and/or physiology of the carotid artery itself. The indirect tests examine for hemodynamic changes in distal beds such as the orbital and cerebral circulations. Because the ophthalmic is the first major branch of the internal carotid, obstructive lesions at the bifurcation will cause pressure and flow changes in the orbital branches of the ophthalmic and their periorbital distributions. The indirect tests that monitor the orbital bed are the most common noninvasive techniques in use today, especially periorbital directional Doppler ultrasonography (PDDU) and two types of oculoplethysmography (OPG). Ginsberg, Greenwood, and Goldberg compare and discuss PDDU and one type of OPG elsewhere in this journal.31 We have arbitrarily designated the OPG which determines systolic ophthalmic artery pressure (Gee method) as OPG-P, and the method monitoring the relative arrival time of the ocular pulse waves (Kartchner and McRae method) as OPG-F because the results are related to flow. Attempts are being made to incorporate both techniques in one instrument. The indirect tests require a hemodynamic change before they become positive and therefore

Constitutional Change in an Interest-Group Perspective

Abstract: L ANDES and Posner suggest that economists have not carefully analyzed the role of an independent judiciary in the political process.' Most observers would accept the idea that the courts are effectively insulated from daily politics through constitutional provisions, such as life tenure, which reduce the ability of other branches of government to influence their decisions. Yet some scholarship argues that the Supreme Court participates in interestgroup politics by representing the interests of groups that go unrepresented in other governmental forums.2 Landes and Posner express doubts about both these views of the judiciary. They have serious doubts about the isolation of the judiciary from interest-group politics, and they question why the Supreme Court should respond systematically to agents who are not successful in achieving influence in the legislative and executive branches. They thus set out to resolve the apparent paradox of an independent judiciary with an interest-group theory of government. Specifically, they develop an economic theory of the independent judiciary which stresses the role of legislative procedures (e.g., voting rules) and an independent judiciary in providing a stable basis for long-term contracting between special interests and legislators.3 We offer a short review of their theoretical discussion in Part II.
