“…3 This component score reflects the multidimensional nature of network resources. Following the British study of Li (2008), we used the Cambridge Social Interaction and Stratification Scale (Stewart et al, 1980) to assign occupational status scores to occupations. Status scores ranged from 4.14 (factory worker) to 84.75 (university/college lecturer).…”

Individual social capital is increasingly considered to be an important determinant of an individual"s health. This study examines the extent to which individual social capital is associated with self-rated health and the extent to which individual social capital mediates the relationship between neighbourhood deprivation and self-rated health in an English sample. Individual social capital was conceptualized and operationalized in both the social cohesion-and network resource tradition, using measures of generalized trust, social participation and social network resources. Network resourceswere measured with the position generator. Multilevel analyses were applied to wave 2 and 3 of the Taking Part Surveys of England, which consist of face-to-face interviews among the adult population in England (N i =25,366 respondents, N j =12,388 neighbourhoods). The results indicate that generalized trust, participation with friends and relatives and having network members from the salariat class are positively associated with self-rated health. Having network members from the working class is, however, negatively related to self-rated health. Moreover, these social capital elements are partly mediating the negative relationship between neighbourhood deprivation and self-rated health.

“…To translate occupational categories into a status score, we used HISCAM, a stratification scale (Lambert et al 2013) that uses the same technique as CAMSIS scales do for contemporary societies (Stewart, Prandy, and Blackburn 1980). The scale ranges theoretically from 1 to 99, but we observe 10.6 (domestic servant) to 99 (e.g., lawyer) (see Table 1 for descriptives on all variables).…”

Status Attainment of Siblings during Modernization

et al. 2014

The modernization thesis claims that intergenerational social mobility increased over time due to industrialization and other modernization processes. Here, we test whether this is indeed the case. We study approximately 360,000 brothers from 189,000 families covering more than 500 municipalities in the Netherlands and a 70-year period (1827 to 1897). We complement these sibling-and family-level data with municipal indicators for the degree of industrialization, mass communication, urbanization, educational expansion, geographic mobility, and mass transportation. We analyze these data by applying sibling models, that is, multilevel regression models where brothers are nested in families, which in turn are nested in communities. We find that the total-unmeasured-family effect on sons' status attainment decreases slightly and is higher than that found for contemporary societies. The measured influence of the family, operationalized by father's occupational status, decreased gradually in the Netherlands in the second half of the nineteenth century. A substantial part of this decrease was due to some, but not all, of the modernization processes adduced by the modernization thesis.
