Professor Mosely's interest for rural life led him to the Balkans, where he studied the phenomenon called "zadruga" and provided to the American and European researchers involved in applied anthropology with valuable information. Professor Mosely contributed to the recognition of Professor Dimitrie Gusti's method of research in American academic environment, highlighting the contribution of this research on the evolution of social life.This paper analyzes the rural sociological studies of Philip E. Mosely and reveals his involvement in shaping social policies in rural areas at the beginning of the twentieth century.
