Communes as Moralnets

Leigh Minturn

University of Colorado

Communes are a type of close-knit community with strong social norms that characterize moralnets (moral networks). A sample of contemporary communes operating during the 1970s was selected to test the predictive power of the commitment scales over time and assess their usefulness for describing 20th-century communes. The mechanisms tested are the presence of strong leaders, cultural homogeneity of members, joint investment, isolation, shared ideology, distinctive customs, and disciplinary action for deviancy. Despite differences, the results of these analyses indicate that the commitment scales are robust; their patterns persist across samples, methods, and centuries.
