Abstract

The general issue under investigation is whether one’s position in a hierarchy affects how one judges other positions. Important instances include judging occupational prestige and distributive justice. The author briefly examines the issue with occupational prestige judgments from the General Social Survey, where one measure shows considerable displacement. The main research focuses on popularity status in a high school. Results again showed displacements of judgments by one’s own position; thus, the importance of conditioning assessments by cultural context or by referential structures. The author published this TR (1972).
