Abstract
- The article presents abstracts of papers presented at the annual meetings of the Ohio Valley Sociological Society. Some of the papers presented are discussed below. One of the papers "Identification and Change in a Treatment-Oriented Institution" analyzes a case study of a treatment-oriented, closed institution for delinquent girls. "An Explanation of Conventional and Unconventional Political Participation Among the Urban Poor" represents a broadening of the types of political participation normally studied by political scientists and political sociologists and an attempt to relate each type to a common core of theory derived from the voter studies, literature on revolutionary movements, or conservative theories of crowd behavior. Data is drawn from a survey of the urban poor in Cleveland, Ohio. "The Self and Political Role: A Symbolic Interactionist Approach to Political Ideology" demonstrates an association between the individual's self-conception and his perception of the political role. It tests a general hypothesis, derived from symbolic interaction theory, which relates left-wing and right-wing political role perception to the individual's view of himself as an actor in the social system.
