In this study the relationship between social class membership and reaction to physical disability was examined. It was hypothesized that this reaction would be conditioned by the relative emphasis attached to physique, and that this emphasis varied inversely with social class level, that is, the lower class would be expected to react more severely to physical impairment than would the middle class. Information was obtained on the families' definition of the problem, their intellectual optimism or pessimism, their actual behavior under these circumstances, and the relative emphasis which they attached to physique. The results showed that the majority of parents and children were well informed and generally quite optimistic about the problem. On the behavioral level, however, some families were able to cope more effectively than others; larger families managing a more balanced adjustment than smaller families. Lastly, most parents attached little significance to physique, and this seemed to facilitate their optimism in the face of disability. Over-all, there was no significant class bias in any of the above positions.

Chapter12 summarizes the findings of the study and answers the main questions posed in chapter 1, namely: In the material that can, in some sense, be classified as Satanic feminism, what motifs are recurrent? What sort of individuals usually expressed these ideas—what was their social class, level of education, temperament, and political orientation? What was the typical readership of the texts and how were they received? What hermeneutical strategies were employed when counter-reading the Bible or subverting misogynist motifs in Christian myth? How far is the inversion of Christian myth taken? What seems to be problematic when using Satan as a paragon of feminism, and how do the figures in question deal with this? Finally, some additional ruminations are presented.

Abstract In a large corpus (2.9 million tokens) of chat conversations, we studied the impact of Flemish adolescents’ social background on non-standard writing. We found significant correlations between different aspects of social class (level of education, home language and profession of the parents) and all examined deviations from formal written standard Dutch. Clustering several social variables might not only lead to a better operationalization of the complex phenomenon of social class, it certainly allows for discriminating social groups with distinct linguistic practices: lower class teenagers used each of the non-standard features much more often and in some cases in a different way than their upper class peers. Possible explanations concern discrepancies in terms of both linguistic proficiency and linguistic attitudes. Our findings emphasize the importance of including social background as an independent variable in variationist studies on youngsters’ computer-mediated communication.

Relationships between motive to avoid failure and long-term occupational social class mobility were examined. Individuals low in motive to avoid failure, operationalized as test anxiety, were upwardly mobile in social class level of occupational attainment from 1966 to 1985; individuals high in motive to avoid failure were not. A cause-effect relationship was inferred; a strong avoidance motive inhibited upward occupational class mobility. The data suggest that individuals with high motive to avoid failure reach a ceiling occupational class level at a relatively early age whereas individuals with low motive to avoid failure continue longer to achieve further upward mobility. Implications of motive causality are discussed.

This article has presented data from interviews with 1,433 mothers residing in 15 areas distributed around upstate New York. Data on medical and hospital care during pregnancy and early infancy were compared by social class level of families. Mothers in the lower classes differed from those in the higher classes in such behavior as seeking care from a physician later in pregnancy, fewer of them using specialists for prenatal and postnatal care, staying a shorter time in the hospital after delivery, having lower medical costs, carrying less insurance, claiming less ability to pay expenses of pregnancy and childbirth, smaller proportion obtaining postnatal medical examinations, more taking baby to physicians for illness rather than for check-ups, and a lower percentage having had the child immunized and vaccinated. A direct trend was observed in breast feeding. The higher the social class the more breast feeding. First babies were breast-fed more than other babies except for those in the lowest class. More mothers in the lowest class used separate sterilization for bottles, nipples, and formula, fewer were feeding vitamins, and fewer used commercially prepared formulas for the infants.

AbstractAdolescents’ aggressive behavior has been often linked to biases in morality. However, limited knowledge is available regarding the relative strength of different moral correlates, both at the individual and class-level, in predicting different types of aggressive behavior over time. To address this gap, the present study tested the prospective associations of moral identity and moral disengagement with reactive and proactive aggression in a short-term longitudinal study. The sample consisted of 1158 Italian adolescents (48.7% females; Mage = 13.6 years, SD = 1.1). Participants completed self-report measures of moral identity, moral disengagement, perceived collective moral disengagement in the fall, and reactive and proactive aggression in the fall and in the spring. Multivariate multilevel analysis indicated that, at the individual level, after controlling for the stability of aggressive behavior, T2 (Time 2) reactive aggression was higher for students who reported lower moral identity and higher moral disengagement at T1 (Time 1). For proactive aggression, a significant interaction effect indicated that the negative association between T1 moral identity and T2 aggression was apparent only at high levels of T1 moral disengagement. Moreover, proactive aggression was significantly predicted by higher perceived collective moral disengagement. At the class-level, T1 collective moral disengagement helped explain between-class variability of T2 reactive and proactive aggressive behavior. How these results expand previous research on morality and aggressive behavior and their potential implications for prevention and intervention programs is discussed.

The aim of the study was to investigate moral judgment and its relationship with aggressive behavior among parental care deprived and non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum. The sample of the study consisted of (400) male and female students, of whom (200) parental care deprived children and (200) parental care non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum, Palestine in the 2018/2019 school year. To achieve the aims of the study, the researcher used Moral Judgment Scale developed by Abdel Fattah (2001), while Aggressive Behavior Scale was developed by the researcher. Validity and reliability for both scales were verified. The results of the study revealed low levels of moral judgment among parental care deprived children, while moderate levels of moral judgment were found among parental care non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum. The results of the study indicate high levels of aggressive behavior among parental care deprived children, while low levels of aggressive behavior were found among parental care non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum. There were no statistically significant differences in moral judgment and aggressive behavior level among parental care deprived and non-deprived children at Majd Al Krum due to gender. There were also no statistically significant differences in aggressive behavior among parental care non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum due to class level, while statistically significant differences were found in aggressive behavior among parental care deprived children at Majd al Krum due to class level, in favor of fifth grade students. The results revealed a statistically negative correlation between moral judgment and aggressive behavior among parental care deprived and non- deprived children at Majd Al Krum. Several recommendations and suggestions were presented including the need for future research on this category of children deprived and non deprived of Parental Care in the light of different variables such as emotional intelligence, psychological flexibility, and self-image.

Interviews were conducted with 172 adults to determine their social class level based on occupational prestige, income and education. They were also administered the circle test for future orientation. It was hypothesized that future dominance would be found more frequently for people in the upper class levels. The hypotheses were borne out at an acceptable level of significance, as measured by the chi squared test, for occupational prestige, and income, but not for education.
