    Control and Cooptation in Mexican Politics
    (2015-07-21) Anderson, Bo; Cockcroft, James D.
    The authors identify a structure of widely-shared,interrelated goals, including political stability, economic growth, public welfare, and economic nationalism in contemporary Mexico. They relate those goals to the contemporary structure of Mexican governments. They also describe patterns of oligarchy, cooptation, dissent, and repression, and relate those patterns to the goal structure.

    Distributive Justice: A Status Value Formulation
    (2015-07-29) Berger, Joseph; Zelditch, Morris Jr; Anderson, Bo; Cohen, Bernard P
    The authors present a theory of distributive justice, feelings that a distribution of benefits and burdens to particular individuals is right and proper. They distinguish local systems and referential structures, and the theory predicts that perceived justice obtains when relations in the local system reflect relations in the referential structure.

    On Conservative Attitudes
    (2015-07-13) Anderson, Bo; Zelditch, Morris Jr; Takagi, Paul; Whiteside, Don
    This paper argues that rank disequilibrium (or status inconsistency) is a factor in developing right-wing attitudes. The topic had contemporary relevance with the prominence of the John Birch Society, the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade, the Anti-U.N. movement, and the 1964 Republican convention held in South San Francisco.

    On the Balance of a Set of Ranks
    (2015-07-13) Zelditch, Morris Jr; Anderson, Bo
    This theoretical paper addresses what was then called “status consistency” or “status crystallization.” Discrepant ranks on different characteristics such as income, occupational prestige, education, race, and religion were thought to be a source of strain and a motivation to bring the ranks into line. This formal exploration was presented in 1966.

    Rank Equilibration and Political Behavior
    (2015-07-14) Anderson, Bo; Zelditch, Morris Jr
    The authors develop theoretical ideas in Technical Report #7 and outline links to political behavior. Technical Report #9 is more abstract than TR #8. This paper develops a theoretical argument about social comparison processes involved in political behavior.

    Status Conditions of Self Evaluation
    (2015-07-28) Berger, Joseph; Zeldtich, Morris Jr; Anderson, Bo; Cohen, Bernard P
    The authors develop a theory of structural and interactional factors involved in processes by which evaluations from others can affect one’s self-evaluation. The theory defines an effective “source” of evaluations, and presents balance models of the process. Many of the ideas in this Technical Report were later developed in Webster and Sobieszek (1974).
