这一年，卡米·肖伯纳和嘉莉完成了一篇论文， 舍恩巴赫直接比较了社会阶级， 生产资料的所有权和控制权-具有职业地位， 职业自我导向和收入作为收入的决定因素 美国、日本和波兰。 他们发现职业自我- 只有在波兰，教育直接影响收入 只有在美国，和职业地位对两者都有独立影响 美国和日本，但不是在波兰。 具有讽刺意味的是， 在共产主义波兰的所谓阶级自由社会中影响最大。 这种发现模式对各种各样的问题具有重要影响 关于社会结构的理论。 今年，伦敦经济和社会学院还开始了一项潜在的重要新研究 倡议 通过与联合国机构间协定提供的资金帮助， NIA，我们已经开始对相互影响进行纵向研究， 社会环境和老年人的心理功能。 的 这项调查的经验基础将是对一个样本的重新调查， 作为实验室研究的一部分， 关于职业条件的心理影响的方案。

The year saw the completion of a paper by Carmi Schooler and Carrie Schoenbach that directly compared social classes--distinguished in terms of ownership and control of the means of production--with occupational status, occupational self-direction and income as determinants of income in the United States, Japan and Poland. They found that occupational self- direction directly affects income only in Poland, education affects income only in the U.S., and occupational status has an independent effect in both the U.S. and Japan but not in Poland. Ironically, social class had its greatest effect in the supposedly class free society of communist Poland. This pattern of findings has important implications for a variety of theories about the structure of society. This year the LSES has also begun a potentially important new research initiative. With funding help provided by an inter-agency agreement with NIA, we have begun work on a longitudinal study of the reciprocal effects of social environments and psychological functioning in older people. The empirical basis for this investigation would be a resurvey of a sample of men and women last interviewed in 1974 as part of the Laboratory's research program on the psychological effects of occupational conditions.
