Research in Social Stratification and Mobility 25, 3, 233-243. Abstract: Typically, the social origins of people including eminent scientists are measured by father's occupation. This article reviews the social origins of eminent scientists from the research literature, compares the occupational class of fathers of 102 Fellows of the Royal Society with the general population in England and Wales, and discusses how originating from higher social classes can facilitate children's academic achievement. The findings of this research reveal that eminent scientists are predominantly from the higher social classes and there are considerable differences between the social origins of Fellows and the population of England and Wales. This study also argues that higher social classes are mostly able to provide significant social and educational opportunities (potential resources) which can be benefited by their children. Such accessed and benefited social resources (social capital) can facilitate their academic achievement. Connelly, B.S. & Ones, D.S. (2008). The Personality of Corruption. Cross-Cultural Research 42, 4, 353-385. Abstract: Many other areas in the social sciences (e.g., economics, political science, and sociology) have devoted considerable research to understanding antecedents to national corruption. However, little research has explored psychological antecedents—specifically, personality measured at an aggregate level. In this study of 54 countries, the authors examined the independent, combined, and unique effects of national personality and G. S. Hofstede's cultural dimensions on perceived national corruption. Nations scoring low on neuroticism and high on extraversion tended to be less corrupt, and the relationship between conscientiousness and corruption was explained by wealth. In addition, national personality contributed beyond other cultural, economic, and demographic variables predictive of national corruption: National personality incremented Hofstede's cultural dimensions, national wealth, and national religion. These findings suggest that personality at the national level has substantial relations with nations' corruption and that these effects merit closer scrutiny by researchers and policy makers alike.

Researchers are accountable to the scientific/professional community, as well as to the larger community. p. 22 If qualitative researchers ate to become a community, more needs to be done to facilitate our internal discourse.... Communal agreements require openness and an investment in the process of discussion. ... Gergen (1994) suggested forming an alliance among the semiotic sciences, a move that would facilitate the organization of knowledge from a sociological standpoint. Any community-building effort would involve the development of a common language of understanding to enable metadiscourse and the complex negotiation of horizons. Mallia, Joanne. (2003).
