The Unadjusted Girl : With Cases and Standpoint for Behavior Analysis

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Unadjusted Girl: With Cases and Standpoint for Behavior Analysis' is a pioneering study in the field of sociology and social psychology, exploring the complex factors that influence female delinquency and social maladjustment. Written by the influential sociologist William Isaac Thomas, this work introduces the concept of the 'four wishes'-the desire for new experience, security, response, and recognition-as a framework for understanding human behavior and social deviance. Through a series of detailed case studies, Thomas examines the transition of young women into urban environments and the subsequent breakdown of traditional social controls.The book moves away from biological explanations of behavior, focusing instead on the impact of social environment and the subjective experiences of the individuals involved. By analyzing the 'definition of the situation,' Thomas provides a sophisticated look at how social norms and individual desires intersect. This work remains a significant text for those interested in the history of criminology, urban sociology, and the development of behavior analysis. It offers a fascinating window into early 20th-century social thought and the evolving understanding of female agency and social integration.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
