利用三个英国出生队列研究的数据，我们研究了三代家庭成员的社会流动模式。对于男性和女性来说，部分父母-子女流动性表中的绝对流动性（即总流动性、向上流动性、向下流动性和流出流动性）因祖父母的社会阶层而有很大差异。在相对流动模式方面，我们发现，在考虑了父母的社会阶层后，祖父母和孙子的阶级地位之间存在统计学上显著的关联。净祖父母-孙子关联可以用一个统一的关联参数来概括。抛开父母的社会阶层不考虑，如果祖父母本身从事的是专业管理岗位而非非熟练体力劳动岗位，那么他们的孙辈进入专业管理岗位而非非熟练体力劳动岗位的几率至少要高出2.5倍。即使把父母的教育、收入和财富考虑在内，这种祖父母对社会流动性的影响仍然存在。
Using data from three British birth cohort studies, we examine patterns of social mobility over three generations of family members. For both men and women, absolute mobility rates (i.e., total, upward, downward, and outflow mobility rates) in the partial parents-children mobility tables vary substantially by grandparents’ social class. In terms of relative mobility patterns, we find a statistically significant association between grandparents’ and grandchildren’s class positions, after parents’ social class is taken into account. The net grandparents-grandchildren association can be summarized by a single uniform association parameter. Net of parents’ social class, the odds of grandchildren entering the professional-managerial class rather than the unskilled manual class are at least two and a half times better if the grandparents were themselves in professional-managerial rather than unskilled manual-class positions. This grandparents effect in social mobility persists even when parents’ education, income, and wealth are taken into account.
