Political change in socialist countries and increasing global economic interdependence and competition is leading to a reassessment of authority, hierarchy and individual decision-making in capitalist and socialist countries alike. Within countries, constraints on individual and family social mobility, attitudes towards workplace issues, and gender-divided labor within dual-earner household economies are increasingly interwoven social facts, yet shaped by political and economic forces not confined to each country. In such a context, comparative sociological research on these topics, such as that indirectly supported with this grant, is a vital tool of national understanding and reassessment. This award will support the beginnings of a timely U.S. contribution of data to a multi-nation comparative survey by means of a pilot survey of households in the Oakland- San Francisco area. The final form of the survey instrument being tested here and later collected from a broader survey of American households will contain questions paralleling those in instruments administered in the USSR, Hungary, Taiwan, Spain and possibly China. The recipients of this award comprise a individually productive and influential team of sociologists whose skill in survey methods and data analysis, experience in cross-national survey and field work and international reputation from their past research and writing commands the respect of distinguished collaborators abroad.

社会主义国家的政治变化和日益增加的全球经济相互依存和竞争正在导致对资本主义和社会主义国家的权威、等级制度和个人决策的重新评估。在各国内部，对个人和家庭社会流动性的限制、对工作场所问题的态度以及双职工家庭经济中的性别分工日益交织在一起，但受到不限于每个国家的政治和经济力量的影响。在这样的背景下，关于这些主题的比较社会学研究，例如间接得到这笔赠款支持的研究，是了解和重新评估国家的重要工具。该奖项将支持美国通过对奥克兰-旧金山地区的家庭进行试点调查，及时为多国比较调查提供数据。在这里测试的最终形式的调查工具，稍后将从更广泛的美国家庭调查中收集，将包含与苏联，匈牙利，台湾，西班牙，可能还有中国所使用的工具相似的问题。该奖项的获得者包括一个富有成效和影响力的社会学家团队，他们在调查方法和数据分析方面的技能、跨国调查和实地工作的经验以及他们过去的研究和写作的国际声誉，赢得了海外杰出合作者的尊重。
