Cultura e sviluppo

de Renzo Gubert

"Questionnaire research by team of sociologists exploring attitudes of small farmers of Italian and German descent in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul finds correlation between traditional values (about family, etc.) and attitudes conducive to development. Concludes that strong religiosity, rather than Catholic or Protestant affiliation, correlates with prodevelopment outlook. Historians might be able to collate this data with 1960s questionnaire research"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
