Abstract = {In this study, we examined racial/ethnic differences in
grade point average (GPA) among students at a highly
selective, private university who were surveyed before
matriculation and during the first, second and fourth
college years, and assessed prominent explanations for the
Black-White and Latino-White college achievement gap. We
found that roughly half of the observed gap was attributable
to family background characteristics and pre-college
academic preparation. Of the within-college factors we
considered, perceptions of campus climate and selection of
major field of study were most important in explaining
racial/ethnic differences in GPA. Personal resources, such
as academic effort, self-esteem and academic identification,
and patterns of involvement in campus life were
significantly associated with GPA, but these factors did not
account for racial/ethnic differences in academic
performance. Overall, our results suggest that efforts to
reduce the college achievement gap should focus on assisting
students with the process of selecting major fields of study
and on fostering a welcoming and inclusive campus
environment.},

Abstract = {Legacies, or students with a family member who graduated
from the same college or university, have been the source of
much debate. We add to the existing literature by providing
a detailed empirical portrait of legacies at a private,
selective university across the college years. We examine
how legacies are distinctive in their admissions profiles,
within-college achievement and post-graduation plans, using
data from a panel study of students attending Duke
University. We find that legacies enter college with an
abundance of economic, cultural and social capital, but also
have lower levels of human capital compared to other
students with college graduate parents. Due to this human
capital deficit, legacies have lower grades in the first
college year, but show little academic underperformance in
subsequent semesters. Additionally, legacies are less likely
to plan to be a medical doctor or engineer and have somewhat
lower degree aspirations than other students. © Springer

Abstract = {This study examined the determinants of student
contributions to their senior gift campaign while currently
enrolled at a university and whether student giving
predicted young alumni giving patterns after graduation.
Determinants of student giving were largely consistent with
those of alumni giving, although parental support was found
to be an important difference. Financial aid in the form of
parental support and scholarships, but not loans or grants,
increased the likelihood of student giving. College
experiences including group participation and positive
subjective evaluation also increased the likelihood of
giving. Student giving was then found to be a strong
predictor of future donation patterns of young alumni.
Students who did not contribute to the senior gift campaign
despite repeated, in-person solicitations from peers were
less likely to donate after graduation.},

Abstract = {Previous research has found considerable mobility between
“male” and “female” occupations across the work
life. This article uses employment histories from the
Washington State Career Development Study to examine the
frequency and determinants of jobs shifts that take women
across gender-type boundaries. It was found that many women
go between sex-typical and sex-atypical occupations with a
change of jobs. Higher work commitment tends to slow moves
from male to female occupations, and higher job rewards slow
moves across occupational gender types. But family variables
do not constrain moves to male occupations nor speed moves
to female ones. Thus the results do not always fit with
stereotypes about characteristics of predominately male and
female jobs. The article suggests that further research is
needed to identify career lines and career-line segments by
gender type, rather than relying on the sex composition of a
particular occupation or even job. © 1992, SAGE

Abstract = {This paper investigates linkages between education and work
domains for a birth cohort of British men and women. In
particular, the analyses examine Sørensen's
conceptualization of open and closed position systems. We
investigate one application of these concepts by examining
whether open versus closed education systems (i.e., ability
group and school type) generate jobs with first employer of
differing duration and jobs in open versus closed work
position systems. The methodology features a continuous-time
discrete-state stochastic model of the transition from the
first employer. The data include multiple event histories
through age 23 for a 1958 birth cohort of over 11,000
British men and women. In general, we find important
differences in the determinants of transitions from open
versus closed employment systems. The major differences
include gender and earlier life course location in open
versus closed education systems and ability tracks. The
empirical results only partially support hypotheses in the
literature about the timing of transitions (duration
dependence) in open and closed employment systems. © 1990

Abstract = {This paper examines sorting into interracial friendships at
selective universities. We show significant friendship
segregation, particularly for blacks. Indeed, blacks'
friendships are no more diverse in college than in high
school, despite the fact that the colleges that blacks
attend have substantially smaller black populations.We
demonstrate that the segregation patterns occur in part
because affirmative action results in large differences in
the academic backgrounds of students of different races,
with students preferring to form friendships with those of
similar academic backgrounds. Within a school, stronger
academic backgrounds make whites' friendships with blacks
less likely and friendships with Asians more likely. These
results suggest that affirmative action admission policies
at selective universities, which drive a wedge between the
academic characteristics of different racial groups, may
result in increased within-school segregation. © 2013 by

Abstract = {<jats:p> This article reviews concepts and measures of skill
in the social sciences. Conceptual positions differ in the
ultimate origin of bases for skill, the locus and nature of
skill valuation mechanisms, the extent of social
constructionist influences, and the dimensionality of skill.
An emerging consensus posits two organizing dimensions:
substantive complexity and autonomy control. The major
research designs that include the study of skill are highly
varied and complementary in their knowledge yield. The major
measurement strategies have shifted in recent years from
nonmeasures and indirect measures of skill to direct
measures of two types: expert systems and self-report
measures. The review considers in detail the major expert

Abstract = {Major accounts for transformations in post-1989 Eastern
Europe include neoclassical economic and institutionalist,
among which is the recent merchant capitalist thesis
(Burawoy & Krotov 1992). It suggests transformation in the
former Soviet Union in the direction of a primitive merchant
capitalism with the absence of a superordinate control agent
in relations in production and relations of production.
Constituent hypotheses predict: (1) increased importance of
lateral linkages among enterprises; (2) increased economic
concentration; and, (3) increased worker control inside of
enterprises. This study uses new data from a panel study of
497 Bulgarian manufacturing establishments, including
organizational and worker level data, to test the hypotheses
for 1989-92 time period. Overall, the evidence is mixed with
little or no support for the lateral linkage hypothesis,
some support for increased economic concentration, and mixed
support for increased worker control in establishments but
from a weak beginning position. Our analysis suggests
additional mechanisms, consistent with other institutional
accounts, through which underdeveloped or more primitive
merchant capitalism can occur in manufacturing industries
undergoing transformation from state socialism.},

Abstract = {We examine the factors affecting the performance of
state-owned enterprises (SOEs) during early transition to a
market economy. Data come from a longitudinal study of a
representative sample of Bulgarian SOEs for the period from
1989 (the last year under communism) to 1993 (three years
after major macroeconomic shifts). We investigate how
changes in authority structure, work organization,
technology, marketing strategy, and organizational
boundaries during these years affected organizational
performance in 1993. We also assess the degree of path
dependence in performance and the role of competitive
industry conditions. Numerous organizational changes made by
SOEs during early transition had little effect on
performance. Yet organizational performance from 1989 to
1993 was highly path-dependent, although this dependence was
mediated by the competitive conditions: Stronger markets
displayed less path dependence. Overall the results favor
the interpretations derived from selected neo-institutional
and ecological perspectives of organizational sociology over
neoclassical economic interpretations.},

Abstract = {In the United States, an achievement gap between whites and
blacks persists at all levels of schooling from elementary
school to higher education. Definitive reasons and remedies
for minority underperformance remain unclear. This study
examines how students acquire and utilize "collegiate
capital" which, in turn, relates to their academic
achievement in the first year of college. Results indicate
that significant black-white differences in academic
achievement emerge as early as the first semester of
students' first year in college. Controls for family
background, parental involvement, prior ability, cultural
capital acquired during the middle- and high-school years,
and other factors produce a moderate reduction in the
achievement gap, but over half of the gap remains
unexplained. The study is part of a larger research project
that involves a longitudinal study of two cohorts - the
graduating classes of 2005 and 2006 - at a major private
university. Through the assessment of pre-college
differences and extensive data collected via student surveys
and academic records during the college years, the goal of
the larger project is to illuminate the factors underlying
raced-based variations on a range of academic outcomes such
as educational performance and attainment, but also several
new measures of collegiate intellectual development such as
students' ecological integration, perceptions of other
groups, and satisfaction with college. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

dichotomized as bureaucratic and entrepreneurial. Males but
not females respond to an appeal based on equity more than
to an appeal based on the dependency of others. Among
subjects of both sexes with nontraditional sex-role
orientation, response to both appeals is similar, while
among those of traditional sex-role orientation, response to
the appeal of equity is much greater than to the appeal of
dependency. Implications of the current restructuring of sex
roles for altruism are indicated. © 1975 Academic Press,

Abstract = {Abstract: At the private university we analyze, the gap
between white and black grade point averages falls by half
between the students' freshmen and senior year. This outcome
could suggest that affirmative action policies are playing a
key role to reduce racial differences. However, this
convergence masks two effects. First, the variance of grades
given falls across time. Hence, shrinkage in the level of
the gap may not imply shrinkage in the class rank gap.
Second, grading standards differ across courses in different
majors. We show that controlling for these two features
virtually eliminates any convergence of black/white grades.
In fact, black/white gpa convergence is symptomatic of
dramatic shifts by blacks from initial interest in the
natural sciences, engineering, and economics to majors in
the humanities and social sciences. We show that natural
science, engineering, and economics courses are more
difficult, associated with higher study times, and have
harsher grading standards; all of which translate into
students with weaker academic backgrounds being less likely
to choose these majors. Indeed, we show that accounting for
academic background can fully account for average
differences in switching behavior between blacks and
whites.},

Abstract = {This paper uses the concept of identity to understand
constancy and change in women's work histories. Identities
are self-in-role meanings such as parent, worker, or
professional. Identities are relational, hierarchical, and
have consistency and motivational implications for behavior.
From a life course perspective, we posit that identities
both help organize and also change with the course of
people's lives. We illustrate the organizing role of
identities with a continuous-time discrete-state stochastic
model of women's movement between job-related identities
(employed but not as part of a career and employed in a
career) and less-than-full-time employment. The model
considers the rates of transitions into and out of identity
states as functions of fixed and changing personal
resources, changes in stage of the family life cycle,
rewards and opportunities associated with the present job
and the career line, and several forms of duration
dependence (time spent in the state). Data come from life
histories of a Washington state sample of women, studied at
age 30 in 1979 and 13 years earlier in 1966 (N = 2536). The
analyses suggest work identities operate largely as
hypothesized and that the concept has potential for
understanding work histories. © 1990.},

Abstract = {We argue that once we take into account the students'
rational enrollment decisions, mismatch in the sense that
the intended beneficiaries of affirmative action admission
policies are made worse off ex ante can only occur if
selective universities possess private information. Ex ante
mismatch occurs when revelation of this information would
have changed the student's choice of school. This necessary
condition for mismatch provides the basis for a new test.
The test is implemented using data from the Campus Life and
Learning Project at Duke University. Evidence shows that
Duke does possess private information that is a
statistically significant predictor of students'
post-enrollment academic performance. Further, this private
information is shown to affect the subjective measures of
students' satisfaction as well as their persistence in more
difficult majors. We also propose strategies to evaluate
more conclusively whether the presence of Duke private
information has generated mismatch. © 2011 Peter
