This article is concerned with two of the most important variables existing in any system of human relationships: frequency of interaction and sentiment or attitude. There have been many studies of the connections between interactions and sentiment in face-to-face relations. Much of this work has been in carefully designed "laboratory" experiments, in which interaction can be measured and sentiment inferred with considerable accuracy. Homans' hypotheses concerning the influences of interaction and sentiment upon each other have also been tested in a variety of industrial situations, most notably by Homans himself in his analysis of "the bank wiring observation room" and of "The Electrical Equipment Company." The Human Relations Program of the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan has contributed further to our understanding of how sentiment and interaction are interrelated in industry, especially in the recent monograph by Seashore.

The authors take issue with a widely accepted developmental model which suggests that almost all of political socialization occurs in the elementary school years. They re-examine some of the research on which the model was based in light of original data gathered by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan.

JOBS is a research-based program delivered in a group format and designed to aid unemployed job seekers in their search for employment. The program has demonstrated positive impacts on job-search skills, motivation, reemployment rates, and mental health. The JOBS program was designed and tested in large-scale randomized trials at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. The positive effect of JOBS has been replicated in a number of national and international settings. Research, theory, and principles for best practice in the implementation of JOBS are discussed, as well as future directions for research and new applications.
