Rejection of the Mentally Ill: The Influence of Behavior and Sex

ent analysis is that increasingly complex types of awareness contexts and their distinctive consequences should be systematically sought. We recommend our procedure for evolving types, as opposed to starting out with the full set of logical combinations, each of which must then be screened for empirical relevance. We suggested, at the beginning of the paper, two factors that further complicate awareness contexts: additional people, and people representing organized systems with a stake in certain types of awareness context. Certain types of social phenomena are probably stategic for extending our knowledge of awareness contexts: for example, research discoveries in science and in industry, spy systems, deviant communities whose actions may be visible to squares, types of bargaining before audiences, such as occurs in diplomatic negotiations, and unofficial reward systems like those depicted by Melville Dalton and Alvin Gouldner.18 illustrated by strangers meeting or passing each other on a dark street. If they stop to talk, the first task they are likely to engage in is to transform the unawareness context to facilitate interaction. 18Men Who Manage, New York: Wiley, 1959; and Patterns of Industrial Bureaucracy, Glencoe, Ill.: The Free Press, 1954, respectively.
