Social Stress: Theory and Research
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 15-38 - 1992
This chapter differentiates the stressful consequences of social organization
from the stressful antecedents of psychological disorder. The pivotal
distinction concerns whether the occurrence of stressors is viewed as socially
determined, or as independent of social placement. Recent research is evaluated
concerning both the social distribution of stress and social variation in
response to stress....
Three Fragments From a Sociologist's Notebooks: Establishing the Phenomenon, Specified Ignorance, and Strategic Research Materials
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 1-29 - 1987
This occasionally biographical paper deals with three cognitive and social
patterns in the practice of science (not 'the scientific method’). The first,
“establishing the phenomenon,” involves the doctrine (universally accepted in
the abstract) that phenomena should of course be shown to exist or to occur
before one explains why they exist or how they come to be; sources of departure
in practice f...
Sociological Rational Choice Theory
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 191-214 - 1997
Although rational choice theory has made considerable advances in other social
sciences, its progress in sociology has been limited. Some sociologists'
reservations about rational choice arise from a misunderstanding of the theory.
The first part of this essay therefore introduces rational choice as a general
theoretical perspective, or family of theories, which explains social outcomes
by constru...
Computer Networks as Social Networks: Collaborative Work, Telework, and Virtual Community
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 213-238 - 1996
When computer networks link people as well as machines, they become social
networks. Such computer-supported social networks (CSSNs) are becoming important
bases of virtual communities, computer-supported cooperative work, and telework.
Computer-mediated communication such as electronic mail and computerized
conferencing is usually text-based and asynchronous. It has limited social
presence, and o...
Organizational Learning
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 319-338 - 1988
This paper reviews the literature on organizational learning. Organizational
learning is viewed as routine-based, history-dependent, and target-oriented.
Organizations are seen as learning by encoding inferences from history into
routines that guide behavior. Within this perspective on organizational
learning, topics covered include how organizations learn from direct experience,
how organizations...
Double Standards for Competence: Theory and Research
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 26 Số 1 - Trang 21-42 - 2000
This article reviews theory and research on double standards, namely, the use of
different requirements for the inference of possession of an attribute,
depending on the individuals being assessed. The article focuses on double
standards for competence in task groups and begins by examining how status
characteristics (e.g. gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic class) become a basis for
stricter standar...
From Factors to Actors: Computational Sociology and Agent-Based Modeling
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 143-166 - 2002
▪ Abstract Sociologists often model social processes as interactions among
variables. We review an alternative approach that models social life as
interactions among adaptive agents who influence one another in response to the
influence they receive. These agent-based models (ABMs) show how simple and
predictable local interactions can generate familiar but enigmatic global
patterns, such as the ...
Assessing “Neighborhood Effects”: Social Processes and New Directions in Research
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 443-478 - 2002
▪ Abstract This paper assesses and synthesizes the cumulative results of a new
“neighborhood-effects” literature that examines social processes related to
problem behaviors and health-related outcomes. Our review identified over 40
relevant studies published in peer-reviewed journals from the mid-1990s to 2001,
the take-off point for an increasing level of interest in neighborhood effects.

Rural America in an Urban Society: Changing Spatial and Social Boundaries
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 565-592 - 2011
This review outlines several key aspects of the new rural-urban interface and
the growing interpenetration of American rural and urban life. The historical
coincidence of spatial and social boundaries in America is changing rapidly.
This review highlights (a) the enormous scale of rural-urban interdependence and
boundary crossing, shifting, and blurring—along many dimensions of community
life—over...
Critical Theory, Poststructuralism, Postmodernism: Their Sociological Relevance
Annual Review of Sociology - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 105-131 - 1991
This article examines the main theoretical contributions of critical theory,
poststructuralism and postmodernism. It is argued that these three theories
offer related perspectives on the shortcomings of positivism as well as new ways
to theorize and study contemporary societies. Empirical and conceptual
applications of these perspectives in sociological research are discussed. Some
of these applic...
