Theoretical Developments

This study examines the relationship between social stratification and self-esteem by focusing on aspects of stratification and self-esteem formation processes ignored in previous research. An analysis of theoretical developments and empirical research reveals that the exclusive focus on occupational status and self-esteem derived from interpersonal comparison processes ignores an entire dimension of the relationship between social stratification and self-esteem—that between social class (in the Marxian sense) and self-esteem derived from the experience of self-efficacy. We provide evidence here that supports a hypothesized relationship between social class and occupational conditions that constrain or enable the experience of self-efficacy and self-esteem. Our findings suggest that carefully distinguishing between class and status, and recognizing the multiple processes of self-esteem formation, can improve our explanation of variation in self-esteem with reference to social stratification.

Negative Relationships

Reflected appraisals of self in roles and statuses were studied by comparing respondents who think other people regard their age, sex, race, occupation, marital status, and social class as very important versus those who do not think other people view them primarily in terms of those roles. Data came from a national telephone survey. The study showed that reflected appraisals of self in roles and statuses are negatively related to self-esteem, and this relationship is no stronger for women than for men. In addition, across three different settings, negative relationships between reflected appraisals and self-esteem were found, although more frequent significant effects were found as an individual moves from home to public places to work.

The Relationship

General and area specific self-esteem scores of high school students were found to be inversely related to indices of maladaptive behavior. The specific maladaptive behaviors that were associated with self-esteem varied as a function of gender and social class. Implications for the possible causal relationship between self-esteem and maladaptive behaviors as they relate to gender and social class are discussed.

Anova Technique

This research aims to test methodologically and empirically whether or not there are differences in the level of self-esteem in science class and social class students in term of gender. The research variables consist of: (a) the level of self-esteem, (b) class status, and (c) gender measured using a modified Likert scale and using a level of self-esteem scale. This research is a type of quantitative research. The population was teenagers who attended SMANegeri1 TamanSidoarjo and aged between 15-17 years. The research sampling obtained 80 samples including 40 samples from superior class consisting of 20 males and 20 females and the other 40 samples from social class consisting of 20 males and 20 females. Data analysis of the researchapplies the two-way ANOVA technique. ANOVA test, using computer program assistance (SPSS 17.0 for windows), was used to test two or more variables and to find out whether or not the two variances are the same.After conducting the difference test using the two-way ANOVA technique with the help of SPSS 17.0 for windows, the basis for decision making is if the significance value is p> 0.05 then Ho is accepted and vice versa if the significance value is p <0.05 then Ho is rejected. The difference test results show that science class and social class students in term of gender.

Achievement Indicators

We examined changes over four decades and between ethnic groups in how people define their social class. Changes included the increasing importance of income, decreasing importance of occupational prestige, and the demise of the “Victorian bargain,” in which poor people who subscribed to conservative sexual and religious norms could think of themselves as middle class. The period also saw changes (among Whites) and continuity (among Black Americans) in subjective status perceptions. For Whites (and particularly poor Whites), their perceptions of enhanced social class were greatly reduced. Poor Whites now view their social class as slightly but significantly lower than their poor Black and Latino counterparts. For Black respondents, a caste-like understanding of social class persisted, as they continued to view their class standing as relatively independent of their achieved education, income, and occupation. Such achievement indicators, however, predicted Black respondents’ self-esteem more than they predicted self-esteem for any other group.
