Measuring Status Inconsistency

Abstract: There have been many attempts to isolate and measure the effects of status inconsistency (S-I) on a variety of dependent variables, including self-evaluation (Goffman, 1957), social isolation (Geschwender, 1967), political attitudes and behavior (Lenski, 1954), political extremism (Rush, 1967), prejudice (Geschwender, 1970), and psychological stress (Hornung, 1977) among numerous others. These efforts have not, for the most part, dealt satisfactorily with the identification problem demonstrated by Blalock (196… Show more

“…Although the status inconsistency approach has not been applied to occupational mobility, both education-occupation and financial status-occupation inconsistencies have been associated with poorer psychological health (Hornung, 1977(Hornung, , 1980House & Harkins, 1975). The impact of status inconsistency does not appear to be particularly strong (Brown, Cretser, & Lasswell, 1988) and may be tempered by location in the occupational hierarchy: Being undereducated for a high ranking occupation may be more stressful than being undereducated for a relatively low level job.…”

“…Incluso hubo estudios que reportaron resultados significativos de signo contrario al esperado; por ejemplo, según Broom y Jones (1970), en Australia la inconsistencia entre inversión elevada y baja recompensa se asociaba al voto al Partido Conservador y no, como esperaban, al Partido Laborista. Aunque esta acumulación de resultados negativos -o, en el mejor de los casos, poco concluyentes -se interpretó a menudo como un síntoma de deficiencias metodológicas a las que se hizo frente proponiendo procedimientos estadísticos cada vez más complejos y refinados, fue cobrando fuerza la idea de que existía un "cuerpo de evidencia negativa" suficientemente sólido como para pensar que estudiar las consecuencias políticas de la inconsistencia de estatus "da más trabajo del que vale la pena dedicarle" (Jackson y Curtis, 1972;Brown et al, 1988). La principal reacción contra este difundido escepticismo ha sido un trabajo de Zhang (2008) que, usando un método de estimación nuevo, detectó una asociación significativa entre la inconsistencia y algunas variables sociopolíticas, incluyendo la identificación con el Partido Demócrata en Estados Unidos.…”
