“…In addition, women's career path in bowls zigzagged (Lindesmith et al, 1991) both within and between stages. For example, while playing bowls, some members Career of women lawn bowlers 57 voluntarily or involuntarily moved between social play, serious play, and even temporary physical retirement depending on extenuating circumstances in their lives.…”

“…Unlike the linear progression of early career models (Hastings et al, 1989), their path zigzagged (Lindesmith et al, 1991) especially during the middle stages when they alternated between being social players, serious players, and temporarily retired players based on the situational contingencies that made greater levels of commitment more or less possible. However, before these women contemplated a career in bowls, they had to be introduced to the sport that they as well as a large proportion of the people in Australia stereotypically perceive as an old people's game.…”

We’re not too old to play sports: the career of women lawn bowlers

Contributing to the growing body of literature about older women's participation in sports, this ethnographic study of lawn bowlers in Perth, Western Australia, revealed a five-stage career path characterizing club members' involvement in this leisure activity. After first being introduced to bowls through other people and/or changing life circumstances, getting hooked on bowls represented the second stage in which women found themselves irresistibly drawn to this sport for multiple reasons. Playing bowls followed next as members fluidly moved between being social players, serious players and temporarily retired players variously engaged in different levels of competition. Some, but not all, then chose to assume organizational positions as committee members, officers, delegates, umpires and coaches. Inevitably, women, in the last stage, faced physical but not necessarily social retirement from bowls. In the end, bowls became the vehicle through which this particular group of women built community.

“…The latter is a broader notion that conveys how everyone should make their own decisions in life but that they should also allow others to do the same: this concept posits limits to egoistical individuation. In line with broader findings reported elsewhere (Madge, Hemming, and Stenson 2014), the article takes a symbolic interactionist approach (Berger and Luckmann 1966;Goffman 1959;Lindesmith, Strauss, and Denzin 1999) in examining how young people construct, negotiate and sustain their identities through their interactional settings within this broader framework.…”

“…Other research, too, highlights how experiences over the life course can turn young people away from religion (Mason, Singleton, and Webber 2007). Glaser and Strauss (1971) have written about 'significant turning points' in this context, while Lindesmith, Strauss, and Denzin (1999) have referred to the identity transformations that can occur.…”

Young British religious ‘nones’: findings from the Youth On Religion study

This article contributes to an understanding of diversity in beliefs and practices among young religious 'nones' who report the absence of a specific religious faith. It focuses on those describing themselves as atheist, agnostic or otherwise of 'no religion' within (a) a large-scale survey of over ten thousand 13-17-year-olds, and (b) interviews, discussion groups and eJournal entries involving one hundred and fifty-seven 17-18-year-olds, in three British multi-faith locations. Compared to the study population as a whole, the young religious 'nones' were particularly likely to be white and born in Britain. There was, nonetheless, considerable diversity among this group in beliefs and practices: almost half the survey members mentioned some level of belief in God and most of the interview participants pointed to some presence of religion in their lives. Being a religious 'none' is, furthermore, not necessarily a stable identity and some young people had already shown considerable fluidity over their life cycles. Around half the survey members said they had maintained similar religious views to their mothers, but participants in both quantitative and qualitative studies pointed to the impact of their experiences and interactions, as well as the role of science, as factors affecting their beliefs and practices.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…According to Lindesmith, Strauss, and Denzin (1991), "groups exist within a symbolic structure or framework of experiences, and are characterized by a sense of superindividuality which connects one person, dyadic, and triadic relations into a complex structure that encompasses all members"p.71 [2]. The term small group can apply to both face-to-face and electronic groups, and it is usually considered small if it has 2-30 members; however, even larger groups can have small group characteristics.…”

Ain't misbehavin': the relationship between writing and social interaction in computer-mediated group (CMG) process

In the study of computer-mediated communication (CMC), it is important to understand the concept of "writing behavior" from the perspective of social interaction and computer-mediated group (CMG) process (CMGP) and development. This work asserts that there is an identifiable relationship between language use and group process and development, as observed in peer pressure in the form of writing behavior, which influences group cohesiveness over time. The relationship that exists between writing and social interaction is explored here in a discussion of the nature of small groups, learning and socio-psychological environments, cooperative learning, electronic and face-to-face social interactions, and group process and development models; it is demonstrated in "writing behaviors" observed in CMC groups illustrating changes in group cohesion as a result of peer pressure lessening over time.
