Lazarsfeld worked to integrate European theorists like Adorno into American social research.

Evidence

Lazarsfeld was thus doing what he could to integrate Adorno, as a European theoretician, into the American research system. Only slightly troubled by memories reminding him of his social-revolutionary beginnings in Vienna, Lazarsfeld himself was able to take the American system just as it was. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 263
