This paper describes the theoretical foundations, empirical findings, and practical and philosophical implications of the Boston Area Diary Study (BADS), a study of the caring behavior of 44 participants over one calendar year. In particular, the paper presents an identification theory of care and discusses how it shaped the conceptualization, collection, and analysis of the data in a year-long diary study of daily voluntary assistance. The findings from the BADS (1) theoretically confirm the identification theory of care; (2) methodologically capture how individuals perceive and carry out caring behavior as a unity; and (3rpar; empirically document the existence of a moral citizenship in America that is substantially more vigorous than is implied by the usual indicators of civic and political citizenship. 相似文献

New indicators of underemployment are presented for whites, blacks, Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans by sex. The indicators are based on hours worked, education, skill utilization, and pay. Data from the 1980 Current Population Survey are supplemented with Dictionary of Occupational Titles information to construct the indicators. Whites consistently have the lowest underemployment, and comparison across groups reveals the different types of employment problems faced by minorities and women. These indicators of underemployment are compared with those from a different conceptual approach (the Labor Utilization Framework) using the same survey data. The advantages of the new indicators are discussed. 相似文献

A double jeopardy hypothesis argues that the combined negative effects of occupying two stigmatized statuses are greater than occupying either status alone. Applying this framework to elderly persons, it can be argued that being female and “old” elderly has more negative consequences than being male and “old” elderly, male and “young” elderly or female and “young” elderly. An empirical test of this hypothesis, using both an objective (mental health status) and a subjective (perceived well-being) indicator as the dependent variable, reveals a confirmation of double jeopardy using the objective quality of life indicator, but not the subjective indicator. Additional analyses of the factors affecting each of the dependent variables, adds further support for the uniqueness of old, elderly women as a social category. 相似文献

Infants born very preterm (PT), prior to 32 weeks gestation, are at increased risk of developing cerebral palsy. Children with spastic cerebral palsy have impaired selective leg joint movement, which contributes to lifelong walking limitations. We investigated whether infants born PT generated more selective hip–knee joint movement (e.g., hip flexes as knee extends) while participating in a scaffolded mobile task. Infants born PT and infants born full-term (FT) at 4 months corrected age participated in a scaffolded mobile task for 2–3 consecutive days. The scaffolded mobile task required infants to raise their legs vertically over a virtual threshold. Three threshold heights (low, middle, and high) were used to test whether the middle and high heights encourage infants to move their legs more selectively. Fifteen infants born FT learned the task and showed more selective hip–knee movement at each of the three threshold heights on the day that they learned, compared with their baseline spontaneous kicking. Thirteen infants born PT learned the task and showed more selective hip–knee movement on their learning day, but only when the middle and high thresholds were used. The results show that the scaffolded mobile task effectively encouraged infants to generate more selective hip–knee joint movement. 相似文献

In a previous paper we have demonstrated that for the total population of households, including non-givers, lower income households
participate less and donate smaller average percentages of their household incomes than do higher income households. In this
paper we inquire about the relative generosity of that sub-population of households that actually donate to charitable causes.
We base our analysis on data collected in the 1990 national survey of Giving and Volunteering in the United States conducted
by the Gallup Organization for Independent Sector. In the first section we review the factors that differentiate the upward
sloping curve describing the population of all households and the U-shaped curve describing the sub-population of contributing
households. In the second section we demonstrate that a substantial proportion of the curvature in the U-shaped relationship
operates through giving to religion. In the third section we show that giving by the 7 per cent of high givers increases the
curvature while the giving by the 93 per cent of normal givers attenuates the curvature. In the fourth section we combine
the previous two analyses by looking at the patterns of religious and non-religious giving for both normal and high givers.
We conclude that income is not a reliable indicator of who is generous or selfish in regard to philanthropic giving.

Despite an abundance of survey data on charitable giving, researchers have not analysed these data asking the kinds of theoretical
questions and employing the kinds of multivariate statistical techniques that would advance our understanding of the social
processes leading to charitable behaviour. This article reports the authors' first findings from their continuing efforts
to develop and test such a multivariate causal model of the social, demographic, economic and motivational determinants of
individual charitable giving. The first section outlines ouridentification theory of charitable giving. In the second section we discuss the data and how we operationalise our variables. The third
section examines whether there is broad quantitative support for major tenets of the model developed if applied at the household
level. In the fourth section we enquire about which factors are most strongly related to giving behaviour. We conclude with
a discussion about the centrality of communities of participation for inducing charitable giving and about the practical implications
for fundraising.
