Summary: We consider $k$-hyponormality and $n$-contractivity
($k, n = 1, 2, \ldots$) as `weak subnormalities''
for a Hilbert space operator. It is known that
$k$-hyponormality implies $2k$-contractivity; we produce some classes of
weighted shifts including a parameter for
which membership in a certain $n$-contractive class is equivalent to
$k$-hyponormality.
We consider as well some extensions of these results to operators
arising as restrictions of these shifts, or from
linear combinations of the Berger measures associated with the shifts.
