H.L. Mencken's memorable term referred to the stereotypical "New Woman" of the "Revolution in Manners and Morals" of the first decades of the twentieth century.^ For early scholars of this period, changes in female behavior marked this revolution. The "flapper," in imitation of mem, smoked, drank, swore, * freely petted and dated, was obsessed witii the new psychology of Freud (if only as misinterpreted by its American popularizers), and, vAien she married, built her relationship according to the strictures of companionate marriage. Reading these writers, one is reminded of F. Scott Fitzgerald's conception of the "flapper" as "lovely and expensive and about nineteen."2 She is a mere stereotype. In recent years a number of women's historians, aware of the inadequacy of descriptions of the "flapper," have begun to address the question of what the reality was behind this stereotype. The "flapper" 1 has thus become the "New Woman," the focal point of the feminist reinterpretaticm of the "revolution in morals." She appears in recent literature not merely as the "flapper," but as the "charity girl," the "Mannish Lesbian," the "Androgyne," to name but three of her guises.^ Iftiderstandably, her apparent difference from the Victorian stereotype of "passionlessness" and the "Cult of True Womanhood" has inspired much interest recently among women’s historians. But her boyfriend hsis received less attention.^ The pace of revolutionary change that had affected the social relations between the sexes in these years was the product of a number of factors. By 1920, over 50% of Americans lived in cities. Here a mass production, consumer-oriented economy replaced an earlier entrepreneurial society of small businessmen and farmers with a "new middle class" that in its growing leisure time embraced an ethic of therapeutic release and pleasure.5 The Victorian values of hard work, rugged individualism and thrift that had held sway, albeit ever more precariously, until the second decade of the twentieth century became less influential: a heterosocial leisure world that was geared towards youth and vitality emerged as amusements grew up in the cities to cater to the demands of young people. These were the changes which produced a New Woman, and, one might speculate, must have produced a "New Man." For Indeed the question of men’s part in this "revolution in morals" is an important one. How were men affected Wien the bourgeois sexual system of Victorian America, Wiich gave men the alternatives of either purity or use of prostitutes before marriage, crunbled? Surveys by Peter Filene and Joe Dubbert, as well as a number of works on the movies, nmrriage, divorce, college youth, courtship and the new amusements, touch on the roles of men in this cultural revolution and offer excellent reasons to expand on the problem which no work has yet addressed squarely: who was the New Man to accompany the New Woman? Increasingly, we know more about the Victorian backdrop to the revolution. Steadily a picture is emerging of both men and women’s position in the Victorian system of morality that was dominant among the middle class of American society up to around 1912. As America industrialized, the old Victorian Protestant bourgeoisie, the harbingers of this system of morality, presided over a dynamic expanding economy vAiere the chances of class mobility were more real than in the twentieth century.® Victorians believed in self-help, sobriety, thrift and rugged individualism: they, as George Mowry puts it, disliked "bigness, diversity, the exotic, leisure, elegance and personal indulgence. Restraint and moderation marked every aspect of their lives.The members of this production-oriented society were able to delay gratification because of the genuine possibility of material rewards down the line If thrift were practiced In the present. Besides, the men of this class revelled In the pleasures and prestige of membership In It. Victorians devised a rigid system of morality idilch ccmslsted of a separation of spheres between men and women and the twin pillars of the conspiracy of silence about sexuality and the sexual double standard. In short, here was a society designed to benefit Its male members, vdio devised the system of socled relatlcxis to accentuate their dominance within It and vdio constructed styles of masculinity to suit best the continuance of that system. Thanks to the work of several scholars, we know more and

  • A Century of Social Psychology: Individuals, Ideas, and Investigations GEORGE R
    1 A Century of Social Psychology: Individuals, Ideas, and Investigations GEORGE R. GOETHALS ^ f INTRODUCTION This chapter tells an exciting story of intellectual discovery. At the start of the twentieth century, social psy- chology began addressing age-old philosophical questions using scientific methods. What was the nature of human nature, and did the human condition make it possible for people to work together for good rather than for evil? Social pschology first addressed these questions by looking at the overall impact of groups on individuals and then began to explore more refined questions about social influence and social perception. How do we understand persuasion, stereotypes and prejudice, differences between men and women, and how culture affects thoughts and behavior? In 1954, in his classic chapter on the historical govem themselves. In The Republic, Plato argued that background of modem social psychology, Gordon men organize themselves and form governments Allport nominated Auguste Comte as the founder because they cannot achieve all their goals as of social psychology as a science. He noted that individuals. They are interdependent. Some kind of Comte, the French philosopher and founder of social organization is required.

    Discussion Paper No. 51 Williams Project on the Economics of Higher Education Denison Gatehouse Williams College Williamstown, MA 01267 PEER INFLUENCES AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: The Perils and the Potentials George Goethals Williams College September, 1999 DP-51 ã September 1999 (George Goethals) Note: This paper was presented at the Macalester Forum on Higher Education, "Diversity and Stratification in American Higher Education", Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, June 2-3, 1999. This paper is intended for private circulation and should not be quoted or referred to in publication without the permission of the author. The author gratefully acknowledges the Andrew Mellon Foundation for their funding of this paper through the Williams Project on the Economics of Higher Education. Thanks also to Susan Engel and Gordon Winston for their advice and comments on an earlier draft of this paper. Abstract Students' intellectual, social and personal development is highly influenced by peers during the college years. These changes can be understood in terms of social comparison theory, which outlines the consequences for group dynamics of people's need to evaluate their opinions and abilities. Discussion aimed toward opinion consensus and competition aimed toward improving ability levels promote the development of intellectual capacities and a range of other abilities. Discussion and competition also promote the definition and polarization of values. An expanded account of social comparison processes considers the further group consequences of the need for self- esteem. The distinction between informational and normative social influence underlines the importance of people's standing in groups for their self-concepts and self-esteem. Social identity theory expands these accounts to consider the implications of self-esteem needs for intergroup competition, discrimination and hostility.

  • Hollywood Loving
    HOLLYWOOD LOVING Kevin Noble Maillard* INTRODUCTION It is no coincidence that Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner1 was released the same year that Loving v. Virginia2 was decided: 1967. It was the first time in American history that interracial marriage was collectively recognized as a legitimate, intimate choice between two adults. This public exposition of racial intermixture exposed a collective memory of racial heterogeneity previously treated in law and popular culture as suspect. Collectively, there were few possibilities, expressions, or affirmative realizations of interracially intimate culture before 1967. Some cases, like McLaughlin v. Florida3 and Perez v. Sharp,4 successfully overturned discriminatory laws targeting interracial couples, but the vast majority, like Naim v. Naim,5 upheld them. * Professor of Law, Syracuse University. Thank you to the student editors of the Fordham Law Review and to the Fordham Professors Robin Lenhardt and Tanya Katerí Hernández for organizing the Symposium entitled Fifty Years of Loving v.

CONVERSE Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1994 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. THEODORE MEAD NEWCOMB July 24, 1903-December 28, 1984 BY PHILIP E. CONVERSE HEODORE M. NEWCOMB was one of the principal pioneers Tin the establishment of social psychology as a fertile area for study at the boundary between the traditional dis- ciplines of psychology and sociology. During five decades of research he sought to enrich individualistic treatments of human motivation, learning, and perception with a keener understanding of the social processes that shape them. He was author or co-author of three widely used textbooks that gave systematic definition to this emergent field, and he directed the influential doctoral program in social psychol- ogy at the University of Michigan for twenty-six years. Newcomb's personal research made an impressive series of conceptual and empirical contributions to the new area of social psychology. These included work on autism and social communication; the first ambitious tracing of the evo- lution of political attitudes over the adult life course; a careful elucidation of the basic principles of cognitive bal- ance; studies of the primary forces shaping interpersonal attraction; and, in a closely related way, the growth of main- stream and deviant subcultures. Throughout his life he was also interested in the dynamics of the education process. More than a small portion of his basic research was focused 322 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS on this interest, and he successfully applied much of what he learned to practical problems in higher education.

  • Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists
    Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists By Floyd Rudmin Rudmin, Floyd (1991). Seventeen Early Peace Psychologists. In Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Vol. 31, No. 2, Spring, pp. 12-43, 1991 Sage Publications, Inc. Floyd Webster Rudmin is a boundary crosser. In many societies (e.g., the Inuit), boundary crossers are obliged to try to interpret and intercede for those on either side of the boundary. Dr. Rudmin completed a B.A. in philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, an M. A. in audiology at SUNY Buffalo, and a Ph.D. in social psychology at Queen University in Ontario. He has lived and worked in the United States, the Philippines, Japan, and since 1978 in Canada. His spouse, Toyoko, is Japanese. Their children are schooled in French. The primary focus of Dr. Rudmin research is the psychology of ownership and possession. He is currently an assistant professor in Queen Faculty of Law and School of Business. History of psychology is his pleasure. Peace is his passion. Summary Peace psychology has a history that is both long and prominent. However, that fact is little known and little appreciated, even among contemporary peace-activist psychologists. This article presents 17 brief biographies of psychologists who are part of this important heritage: Pythagoras, Jeremy Bentham, Franz Brentano, William James, August Forel, Ivan Pavlov, Sigmund Freud, James McKeen Cattell, Mary Whiton Calkins, Alexander Chamberlain, Alfred Adler, William McDougall, Edward Tolman, Gordon Allport, Gustav Ichheiser, Margaret Mead, and Charles Osgood. It is important that more recognition and appreciation be given to the long and prominent history of psychology in peace research and peace activism.
