Mind games and social patterns in urban life
A two part extract discusses social trends and psychology. First, a study by Marvin Koller finds long courtships with gradual marriage, rising parental disapproval of suitors, and shifts in engagements across generations. Second, psychologist Iz Lewis critiques urban dormitory living, contrasts it with small towns, and notes how gossip shapes sociability and self-perception.
