Sociopolitical Viewpoints as Narrated by Family and Educational Background.

Sares, Timothy A.

Journal of Social Psychology, v138 n5 p637-44 Oct 1998

Investigates the role social and educational history have on people's views of helpfulness, trustfulness, liberalism, and confidence in the government and organized labor; results were obtained through General Social Survey (GSS) responses. Finds support for the premise that sociopolitical and prosocial views can be traced to educational and social status. (CMK)
