Sin and Self-Functioning, Part 4: Depression, Assertiveness, and Religious Commitments

Intrinsic religiosity and a belief in grace were associated with emotional empathy, and grace was additionally predictive of less Personal Distress and depression. Earlier linkages of these variables with nonassertiveness were not replicated. One item from the Rathus (1973) Assertiveness Schedule and all of the Costello and Comrey (1967) Depression Scale were evaluated as relevant to religious commitments. Religious orientation, sin, and depression data from all eight samples of this series of studies were reexamined and clearly documented the interrelated nature of guilt and grace. Use of Allport and Ross {1967) scales to identify different religious types was also helpful in clarifying the relationship between sin and self-functioning. Overall, intrinsicness, Grace, and Self-Guilt seemed to operate within a more-or-less integrated matrix of orthodox perspectives that produced beneficial psychological effects.

Power in Organisations: some implications for the use of Accounting in Industrial Relations

The use of accounting information in industrial relations has reached a critical stage in its development. Further studies which merely serve to ornate the existing framework of analysis (for example by continuing the debate as to the type and amount of appropriate information disclosure; the dangers of non‐disclosure; the costs and benefits of disclosure, etc.) we believe to be of little value. The subject area needs to be exposed to a much wider critical analysis encompassing specific alternative perspectives as to the nature and roles of organisations, accounting, and industrial relations. In this paper we review first some of the orthodox perspectives derived from models of organisation which have been employed to analyse the role of accounting. Secondly we discuss the conceptualisations of industrial relations which have informed much of the discussion as to the use which may be made of accounting information to promote good industrial relations. Our discussion of both these areas suggests that the role of power, although largely ignored, is of central importance to analysis of these areas.

Eastern Orthodox Perspectives on Natural Law

St. John Chrysostom comments that we were given two teachers from the beginning, nature and the conscience, theirs being an impartial voice which teaches human beings in silence.1 That there is a place for the natural moral law (Emphytos Ethikos Nomos, Physikos Ethikos Nomos) in Eastern Orthodox Christian Ethics is generally accepted. It is also true that that place has neither been explored with any but passing attention, nor has it found expression in much orderly exposition within the Eastern Orthodox Christian theological literature.

A Critical Perspective On the Study of Chicano Politics

T pHE LITERATURE on the relationships between Chicanos and the institutions of political power in the United States is divided into two distinct modes of analysis. One reflects the orthodox perspectives and concepts of the discipline of political science and the other, an attempt to develop alternatives based on the conception of domination or variations of it. It is this latter orientation that this essay attempts to extend. The analysis is divided into three sections: (1) a discussion of a general conception of critical political inquiry, which will be applied in (2) an examination of several interpretations of Chicano domination, and (3) a critical review of recent studies of Chicano politics which rely on the prevailing empirical-analytic notion of political inquiry.
