An examination of the hypothesized inverse relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) & conservatism on a wide range of social issues. Focus is on the net effects of education, occupation, income, & class (owner, supervisor, or worker) on nine issues. Analysis of data from the 1980 General Social Survey (N = 1,468 respondents) suggests that the hypothesized relationship is absent for most dimensions of SES & most social issues. The most consistent exception to this finding is that liberalism on social issues tends to increase with education, though the relationship varies considerably from issue to issue. The lack of a consistent relationship reflects both the diversity of the social issues & the fuzziness of the social issue/economic issue distinction. 3 Tables, 1 Figure, 1 Appendix, 39 References.

Different measures of socioeconomic status and different cutting points for each of the measures are examined. Both the strength of relationship with dependent variables and the statistical level of significance varies depending on the measure of socioeconomic status and the choice of cutting point. It is suggested that researchers report a range of statistical values in their analyses.

Socioeconomic Status, Parenting, and Child Development presents cutting-edge thinking and research on linkages among socioeconomic status, parenting, and child development. The contributors represent an array of different disciplines, and approach the issues from a variety of perspectives. Accordingly, their ""take"" on how SES matters in the lives of children varies. This volume is divided into two parts. Part I concerns the constructs and measurement of SES and Part II discusses the functions and effects of SES. Each part presents four substantive chapters on the topic followed by an interp

This study assessed the relationship between race and long COVID and the role that socioeconomic plays in this relationship. We analyzed data from the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau from September 14 to September 26, 2022. Of the 18,061 individuals in the sample, 4,927 (weighted 28.6 percent) reported long COVID. We used multiple logistic regressions to examine the association between race, socioeconomic status, and long COVID. We found that Black and Hispanic individuals shared similar odds of long COVID with White individuals. Only Asian individuals reported a significantly lower odds of long COVID as compared to White individuals. The relationship between race and long COVID was buffered by socioeconomic status ( p-value <.001), but the effect size was 3 times greater among White individuals than among Black, Hispanic, and Asian individuals. These findings suggest that support for groups with long COVID should especially be concentrated among individuals with low socioeconomic status. It is also important to address the barriers that limit the translation of high socioeconomic status into a protective health resource for racial and ethnic minorities.

Abstract  Since the pioneering work of Faris and Dunham (1938), a number of studies in the United States have documented an inverse association between socioeconomic status (SES) and mental illness both at the aggregate and the individual levels, and both for the treated and the general population. However, there are few studies of whether this relationship holds in other countries. This study examines socioeconomic characteristics and mental illness in Japan, which has a very different social stratification system from that of the United States. It was found that, at the aggregate level, the "inverse" association between socioeconomic characteristics and the rate of treated mental illness does not hold in Japan. Instead, the relationship is curvilinear: mental illness is higher in districts with large numbers of blue collar and upper white collar workers than in districts with large numbers of lower white collar workers. The effect of SES on mental illness operates through economic stress embedded in the macro social context. Because different social structures lead to different patterns of economic stress, the inverse relationship between socioeconomic status and mental health cannot be assumed to hold in all countries.

This brief shall describe the relationship between affirmative action and socioeconomic status. More specifically, this brief will focus on legislation that led to African-American residential segregation pre-1961, and the effects of this residential segregation on the present African-American community and affirmative action policy. Furthermore, this brief will attempt to examine whether or not low socioeconomic status and race are correlated with affirmative action policy. This brief will conclude that affirmative action simultaneously addresses both race and low socioeconomic status.

The rapid growth in obesity represents a major public concern. Although body weight tends to increase with age, the evolution of obesity over the lifecycle is not well understood. We use longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine how body weight changes with age for a cohort moving through early adulthood. We further investigate how the age-obesity gradient differs with socioeconomic status (SES) and begin to examine channels for these SES disparities. Our analysis uncovers three main findings. First, weight rises with age but is inversely related to SES at given ages. Second, the SES-obesity gradient widens over the lifecycle, a result consistent with research examining other health outcomes such as overall status or specific medical conditions. Third, a substantial portion of the SES "effect" is transmitted through race/ethnicity and the translation of advantaged family backgrounds during childhood into high levels of subsequent education. Conversely, little of the SES difference appears to be propagated through family income, marital status, number of children, or the set of health behaviors we control for. However, approximately half of the SES-weight correlation persists after the inclusion of controls, illustrating the need for further study of mechanisms for the gradient.

Household Socioeconomic Status (HSES) scales are among the most common measurement instruments used by social scientists concerned with stratification among nuclear families and other kinds of households. Nevertheless, the theoretic adequacy of such instruments has remained in doubt. Drawing on what is likely the only data set in existence that includes measures of the four main dimensions of the stratification structure of social systems—political, economic, social and informational power—as well as a well-constructed HSES scale, this paper provides a critical test of the theoretic adequacy of an HSES scale. The scale is found to measure the variability shared by the four power variables, thus showing that it is indeed acceptable theoretically, at least within the isolated rural Brazilian area in which the test was performed. Finally, it is noted that retests should be conducted on samples from contrasting contexts, such as urban Brazil and areas in within richer nations.
