Peer reviewedDukes, Richard L.; Mattley, Christine L. – Simulation and Games, 1986
The effect of class position on mobility, perceptions, and behavior in society is investigated using a game based on the STARPOWER simulation. Two versions are used, one representing an achievement-oriented society and one a society based on ascription. Results of the games and the value of simulation as a research method are discussed.
