Dear colleagues,
As part of an ongoing meta-analysis, I am writing to request any unpublished and in-press studies of social class. Because there are competing operationalizatons of this construct, this request may be a bit cumbersome. However, I am most interested in work that has used multiple measures from the following list:
• Designating an individual as either an owner, a manager, a worker
• Job authority
• Job autonomy
• Working under a fixed or temporary contract
• Skills or expertise
• Occupational membership
• Occupational prestige
• Wealth
• Income
• Education
• Status or prestige of one's social network
• Cultural capital (e.g., preferences for music, art, food, sports, leisure activities)
• Subjective perceptions of one's social class
Also, I would be interested in any studies where you have examined how any of the measures from the previous list relate to:
• Status
• Power
• Organizational commitment
• Job satisfaction
If you choose to share your work, I would be grateful if you could provide the following information.
• Design of your study (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental)
• Sample size
• Measures of association among the variables
• Means and standard deviations of measures
• If using specific scales, the citation for the measure or any modifications you've made to the existing measure
• How you would like your work to be cited
Thank you very much.
Andy
