CIVIL DEFENSE FAVORABILITY: A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS.
Abstract
An effort is made to analyze civil defense action in terms of certain structural variables. The proposition tested in this report was that the more involved a person is socially, the greater is his cognitive accessibility to norms prescribing, among other things, that people ought to do something about civil defense. Support is found for the thesis that people take protective steps in the event of nuclear attack because they are cognitively accessible to norms prescribing such actions by virtue of the positions they occupy in the social matrices of community life.
