Item Status Perceptions(2015-08-06) Alexander, C Norman JrThe general issue in this report is whether one’s position in a hierarchy affects how one judges other positions. Important instances include judging occupational prestige and distributive justice. The author briefly examines the issue with occupational prestige judgments from the General Social Survey. The research focuses on popularity status in a high school. Results again showed displacements of judgments by one’s own position; thus, the importance of conditioning assessments by cultural context or by referential structures.Item Status Perceptions(2015-08-11) Alexander, C Norman JrThis appears to be a revision of Technical Report 39 with the same title. A footnote in this report describes it as a revised and extended version of a paper presented at the annual meetings of the American Sociological Association, August, 1970, but it does not mention either Technical Report 39.
