Black participation in voluntary associations
1986
Florin, P. | Jones, E. | Wandersman, A.
This study explored the potential of a new appoach to predicting and understanding black participation in voluntary community organizations. A set of variables based in Mischels̀ (1973) "cognitive social learning variables" was compared with a larger set of traditional demographic and personality variables for ability to discriminate blacks who differed in their level of participation. The "cognitive social learning variables" are person variables which attempt to conceptualize how the qualities of the person alter the input of stimuli and how complex behavior patterns are generated by a interaction of person and situation. Analyses indicated the approximate statistical comparability of the two sets. Advantages of the use of the cognitive social learning approach for understanding and intervening in black participation in voluntary organizations are discussed.
