Prestige Versus Socioeconomic Status in the Attainment Processes of American Men and Women Social Science Research 8,3 (September 1979): 201-221. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0049089X79900012 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Duncan Index; Fathers, Influence; Inheritance; Mobility; Occupational Status; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This paper demonstrates the consequences to the researcher of choosing to analyze social mobility data with a prestige scale rather than with a socioeconomic index. First, the low intergenerational correlations reported for the International Prestige Scale are rejected when they are shown to be compatible with inadequate models of the processes of status inheritance. Second, the Duncan socioeconomic index is shown to be the preferred measure of status transmission in that it suffers from less random error than does the International Prestige Scale, particularly among men. Third, the occupational attainment processes of American men and women are described with socioeconomic scoring, and these findings are contrasted with those which were obtained with prestige coding. |

The Occupational and Marital Mobility of Women American Sociological Review 39,3 (June 1974): 293-302. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2094290 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Fathers, Influence; Mobility; Occupational Status; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The NORC data on occupational mobility of women presented by DeJong, et al. (December 1971) are reanalyzed in order to compare male and female patterns of occupational mobility in the U. S. Both male and female occupational mobility patterns are then compared to patterns of marital mobility (from father's occupation to husband's) of wives not in the civilian labor force. For the comparisons, all three matrices are adjusted to identical marginal distributions to eliminate the extent to which size of occupational categories of either origin or destination differ. The occupational mobility of women is found to be less similar to mobility patterns of men than is women's marital mobility. Thus, similar patterns govern movement of both men and women from their origins to the status of male head of their families. The occupational mobility of the women themselves, however, does not follow the pattern of men so closely as DeJong, et al. concluded in their original article. |
