Journal Article
Some Social-Psychological Dimensions of Social Change in a Turkish Village
1974
Overview
The aim in this cast study of the Turkish village of Sakarya was to focus on how the social changes it has undergone have affected its social structure, & how the social structure has affected the social-psychological make-up of the community. A questionnaire was administered in interview form, in 1969-70, to all adult M's (N=79). Social structural variables were (a) household type, (b) rank or economic status, which was determined by 5 village judges, & (c) cooperative participation. Social-psychological variables were of 2 types: subjective evaluations of social position, which included indices of Optimism & Security; & variables related to \"individual modernity,\" wit indices of educational aspiration, mass media exposure, family permissiveness, liberalism to women, religious strictness, superstitious beliefs, & superstitious practices. A differentiation appeared among the variables related to individual modernity. \"Thus, while modernity in the areas of education & mass media exposure was associated with higher ES, & younger age for reasons of availability, changes in familial attitudes were found to rest largely on feelings of pessimism & insecurity about the village caused by structural changes in the economy & household composition. It was cooperative participation which had wider implications for a more integrated individual modernity, & implied in addition a significantly more secular & nonsuperstitious outlook.\" There are 2 types of modernizing influences which have produced distinct & only partially interconnected cresults: influences having their source in increased mobility & Ur exposure, & influences stemming more directly from structural changes in the village. The measures of strict SE background were of limited use in predicting attitudes, \"while broader orientations such as cooperative participation, security & optimism involving more complex determinants of group affiliation or cognitive orientation had a more direct bearing on attitudes.\" 4 Tables.
