Dominant Statuses and Involvement in Formal Voluntary Associations
Abstract
A study was made using the inductive method to develop a conceptual
scheme for predicting the involvement of individuals in voluntary
organizations. Data were gathered in fall, 1977, through mailed
questionnaires administered to 500 students at a California State
Coll. Ss provided sociodemographic information & responded to
questions dealing with involvement in voluntary organizations. Results
revealed that dominant status on any relevant social dimension was
directly related to voluntary organization membership. In addition,
possession of a greater number of dominant statuses was indicative of
a higher degree of involvement in volunteerism. 2 Tables. M. Cai
