Industrial Man: The Relation of Status to Experience, Perception, and Value

Inkeles, Alex·1960·American Journal of Sociology

Abstract

Perceptions, attitudes, and values relating to a wide range of situations are shown to be systematically ordered in modern societies. The average proportion of persons holding a particular view may be dintinctive of a given country, but within all modern societies the order or structure of response is the same, following the typical status ladders of occupation, income, and education. The findings support the theory that the standard institutional environments of modern society induce standard patterns of response, despite the countervailing randomizing effects of persisting traditional patterns of culture.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
