Family Income and Status Orientation of Ozarks Youth

Oberle, Wayne H.; And Others

Youth and Society, 6, 1, 91-103, Sep 74

Data collected by personal interviews with a stratified random sample of household heads residing in a 125-county area in the Ozarks found that family income was positively and significantly related to selected educational and occupational status orientations of youth. Except for geographically mobile youth, being born into an upper-rather than a lower-income family was definitely related to the various status orientations examined. (EH)
