Social mobility, adolescents’ psycho-social dispositions, and parenting
2021, Research in Social Stratification and MobilityTheorising social class and its application to the study of health inequalities
2019, SSM - Population HealthCitation Excerpt :In contrast, the Cambridge Social Interaction and Stratification (or CAMSIS) scale seeks to measure “general social advantage” as reflected in the patterns of social mixing and social distance that are associated with different occupations; whilst the Standard International Occupational Prestige Scale (SIOPS) scale is based on the prestige given to different occupational groupings (Connelly, et al., 2016). Other occupational classification systems have a clearer focus on the Marxist mechanisms of class domination and exploitation (Muntaner et al., 2010; Muntaner, Ng, Chung, & Prins, 2015; Wohlfarth, 1997). For those measures of socio-economic position reliant on occupation for derivation of social class, there are other important considerations that have limited how they have been operationalised.
Impact of socioeconomic status on municipal solid waste generation rate
2016, Waste ManagementCitation Excerpt :In other words, socioeconomic stratification is a hyper-dimensional latent variable and difficult to identify and define it. Wohlfarth (1997) defined socioeconomic status (SES) as the rank of people ordered according to the amount of socially valued ‘‘good’’ they possess. According to Hauser and Warren (1997), SES is a shorthand expression for the variables that characterize the placement of persons, families, or neighbourhoods with respect to the capacity to consume valued goods; Nock and Rossi (1979) added that SES is a social stratification which translates the objective distribution of societal resources into meaningful perceptions of relative desirability.
Clues of subjective social status among young adults
2015, Social Science ResearchCitation Excerpt :Wright’s approach may be viewed as an attempt to update the Marxian tradition to account for the realities of the social history of industrial societies in the twentieth century, including the emergence (unforeseen by Marx) of a large middle-class – the so-called “embarrassment of the middle class” (Wright, 2008, p.98). Oakes and Rossi (2003) note that Wright’s (1985) model is valuable in part because it can be relatively easily implemented in empirical studies (see also Wohlfarth, 1997). We will later assess the relationship of some aspects of Wright’s (1985) approach in relation to the ladder measure of subjective social status.
Employment relations, social class and health: A review and analysis of conceptual and measurement alternatives
2010, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Second and related, there is a strong need for databases containing information that allow constructing these theory-grounded social class measures (e.g., Jha et al., 2006). In spite of the growing interest in social class, studies to date have mainly been cross-sectional (Borrell et al., 2004; Muntaner et al., 2003,1998; Wohlfarth, 1997; Wohlfarth & van den Brink, 1998). As a consequence, longitudinal designs, which incorporate hard outcomes such as mortality, and which do not rely exclusively on self reports, are needed (Macleod et al., 2002; Muntaner et al., 2009).
