Social Area Analysis and Transportation Patterns: Dallas, Texas, 1960

Description: When the heterogeneity of the city is considered, the sociological implications which stem from this heterogeneity become important to understanding the social structure of the city. One of these sociological implications is intrinsic in the patterns of transportation. This is an ecological study of the structure and changing structure of parts of the city. We will study the relationship between two variables; social area characteristics and patterns of transportation.

Powerlessness and the Deferred Gratification Pattern Among Lower and Middle Class Children

Description: The study attempts to determine the degree of powerlessness and the deferment of gratification among children as measured by instruments designed for this purpose.
