Applied social psychology, ecological studies of immigrant assimilation, and scientific psychology

Despite exhortations to carry out research on significant social problems, Australian psychologists have not responded with enthusiasm. This reluctance arises partly from the problems of combining useful ecological research with scientific psychology. This problem is discussed in relation to the methodological issues involved and the problem of making a clear-cut conceptual analysis of social data. Special attention is paid to the use that can be made of (1) factor analysis in defining the basic dimensions of the data and (2) typologies as a means of ordering the data to enable general principles to be hypothesized and tested. While the need for intuition is readily admitted, progress in ecological studies also demands sophisticated statistical techniques for handling large masses of data. The argument of the paper is illustrated by material from the studies on the assimilation of immigrants at the University of Western Australia.

The Female Labor Force in Metropolitan Areas: An International Comparison

The loss of womanpower in conspicuous leisure activities, unproductive household tasks, or various forms of "disguised unemployment," which can be seen in every society, is nowhere more evident than in the cities of underdeveloped countries. In urban areas of Egypt, Iran, and Pakistan, for example, less than 15 percent of all women aged 15-64 are in the labor force. In many cities of Latin America and the Caribbean, to be sure, over 30 percent of all working-age women are in the labor force, but from one-third to half of those who work are employed in domestic service. If more effective use is to be made of the potential womanpower in urban areas, it will be necessary both to increase women's work-participation rates and to channel their labor into genuinely productive tasks. The general trends of development of a modern women's labor force, some effects of this development, and some sources of resistance to it are considered in this paper.

Introduction: Why We Are Often Blinded to "Obvious" Facts

Basic and Applied Social Psychology

In the acute social crisis of our time many people are turning to social science for the solution of our social problems. Society seems to be saying, in effect, “Scientific methodology in the natural sciences and their accompanying technologies has brought us to the brink of extinction; let it save us through the social sciences and their technologies.” The great foundations, governmental agencies, business organizations, and the universities are repsonding to this demand by directing increasing amounts of money and personnel to activities dealing with human relations, intergroup relations, and social “problems” generally.
