| Summary: | Using a self-administered schedule and a selected sample of 888 high school and college students, it was found that the respondents tended to perceive the value aspect of their father's occupation as an important influence upon their lives. While the interpretation of prestige influences varied with the respondents' backgrounds, the prestige level of their fathers' occupations are seen as generally determining their own original prestige positions and the types of associations they experience. They see their background style of life as a significant source of influence upon their lives and, more important, they perceive their fathers' occupational prestige as providing a profoundly important standard for both the setting of their own occupation objectives and their judgment of their own occupational success or failure. |
