Stability of distance between structured groups in a social organism: empirical research.
The working hypothesis at the basis of the research is that in the development process of a social body the distance between structural groups of persons remain constant. The structural groups considered are men, women and a selected group of women (Soroptimists). The inquiry was carried out in 15 European countries in 1972. The total number of interviews was 4200. The six variables considered in the inquiry are the attitudes in respect of work, family, education, free time, sex and politics. The discriminatory analysis techniques are: entropy and factor analysis. Results seem to confirm the hypothesis of stability between groups and of countries between one another.
