Status Attainment Research: End of the Beginning or Beginning of the End.
Campbell, Richard T.
Sociology of Education, v56 n1 p47-62 Jan 1983
This paper analyzes Jencks et al's (1983) and Hauser et al's (1983) reports of their research on the Wisconsin status attainment model. For example, the meaning and interpretation of "unmeasured" family background are discussed and the charge that the status attainment model ignores social structure is examined. (Author/IS)
