- Subject: RE: SES Measure for Kids
- Lines: 16
-
- ...one indirect, but "face valid" measure of SES that kids could probably
- use is to ask about household possessions, the presence or absence of which
- would be correlated with SES. Examples could include (I'm making this list
- up) indoor plumbing, how many bathrooms, how many people share bedrooms,
- does family own stove, refrigerator, microwave, VCR, TV (how many), family
- have a car (how many), telephone (how many), etc., etc., etc.
-
- I have seen this kind of measure used in a couple of dissertations done
- in Adult and Community College Education at North Carolina State University,
- though I don't have any specific references to share. A contact is Dr. Ed
- Boone, Adult and Community College Education, North Carolina State Univ.,
- Raleigh, NC. He is an old acquaintance, so feel free to mention my name as
- a refer-er.
