Subjective social status in ISSP 2

Three measures of subjective social status

  • Centers (1949): Subjective 'Social Class (lower

class, working class, upper working class, middle class, upper middle class, upper class).

  • Diagram question: "Where do you belong in

diagram?" (1 – top … 6 – bottom).

  • Top-bottom ladder: "Where would you put

yourself on this scale?" (1 – top … 10 – bottom).

Questions

  • Do they measure the same thing (validity)?
  • Do they measure that same thing with equal

reliability?

  • Do we need three indicators: what is that

good for?

Research design

  • Compare distributions across country and

time:

– R2 by country – Change in means over time

  • Missing value patterns
  • Reliability / factoi analysis
  • Validity analysis in structural model

Data (from INEQ modules)

  • Distributional analysis: all available data.
  • Validation: only countries/wave in which all

three measures are available

– Pooled – Per country/wave

Observe

  • Effect of subjective position is considerably

stronger than of objective position.

  • Three indicators are needed to bring out the

intervening effect.
