- Title
THE SOCIAL ROLE OF THE MORMON POLYGAMOUS MALE.
- Authors
Hulett, J. E.; Jr.
- Abstract
The dominant position of the Mormon polygamous male in the family group was favorable to his ego-security. However, other factors impeded his attainment of this security. These impeding factors were largely due to the fact that his own behavior and his expectations of others' behavior were in many ways conditioned by the monogamous patterns of the larger American society, from which the Mormon group had only recently departed. Feelings of guilt and insecurity frequently resulted.
