Comment on Wright and Wright (ASR, June 1976) Social Class and Parental Values: Another Confirmation of the Relationship

Kohn, Melvin L.

American Sociological Review, 41, 3, 538-544, Jun 76

Argues that the Wrights' conclusions must be viewed with a skeptical eye because: (1) they do not understand the significance of the gap between the thesis they claim to replicate and the data they bring to bear; (2) they ignore some significant analyses; and (3) their methods of analysis, and even their sample, are much less comparable to those of the original (1969) study than the 1973 NORC data allow.
