Havighurst, Robert J. – 1970
The usefulness of the social class construct for life-cycle research is discussed in this paper. Social class is defined as used in the paper, and as it is generally used by students of the human life cycle. It is further evaluated as a descriptor, and a predictor of behaviors and attitudes. The construct seems to be most useful in studies of…

In this paper we develop several alternative models for the purpose of estimating the effects of per pupil…

Recent publications by several writers have reintroduced notions that demand critical examination,…
