Document Summary
Soc271 lecture 6 - illegitimate world and deviance. Create by matsueda, a student of edwin sutherland. Allowed theory of differential association to be tested. Which made the theory be considered valid. Because it"s not a theory if it cannot be tested. For more on differential association, see lecture 12. Unobtrusive study: not engaging with human subjects directly (observation only) One variable on y-axis, another on x-axis. In experimental research, x is independent variable. Need a conceptual model or theory to help you interpret correlations. Legitimate: legal, following societal norms and expectations. Illegitimate: illegal, or severely breaking social norms. Just target different markets, provide different goods/services. Sometimes there"s great correspondence between the two, Sometimes their goals and means are far apart. We tend to react more strongly when there"s great correspondence. Since you have status of someone who is underage for consuming alcohol. Example: if depends on age, will change. If depends on race, will not change.
