Blau Duncan Status Attainment Model

Blau & Duncan�s Status Attainment Path Model

General Considerations

� The hypothesized causal sequence in Blau & Duncan�s condition attainment model more often than not holds that dad�due south education � dad�s job status (& that these, in turn) � child�southward education � both child�s 1^st job status and � kid�s job status further down the� career path. (Note: this model would now need to incorporate mom too: the article�southward almost twoscore yrs. old.)

� So, level of education is the first �attainment,� both for the dad and the kid.

� However, how far the kid goes in education is hypothetically determined by how far the begetter had gone before him. (�Hypothetically,� because that�s what Blau & Duncan are testing, to either verify of falsify the proposition.)

Full general Findings

� There is a direct, positive relationship between both dad�south education and child�s education and between dad�s occupational status and kid�due south education.

� The relationship betwixt these variables is not strong , however: coefficients of .310 and .279, respectively.

� Kid�southward education is an intervening variable in the ultimate job status: it is affected past dad�s education, and it, in turn, affects both first chore and occupation in 1962.

� As they point out later in the article (p. 43), ca. 58% of the variation in kid�s ultimate chore condition is unexplained variation (i.e. variables not accounted for past this model)
