Values Stressed by Two Social Class Levels at Meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Murphy MM, Quarterly
Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Vol.14 (4), 577-585, 1953
“This
investigation was designed to analyze the values stressed by speakers
at meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) and to ascertain whether
values stressed by members of middle class social status background
differ from those stressed by lower class members. Previous
investigations (2,3,4) have disclose that class values of his early
training become integral parts of the individual's personality and
are ever-present guides for what he thinks, what he feels and how he
acts. Social class differences operate to maintain barriers against
intimate social participation among individuals of different social
status backgrounds and make it difficult for them to work, live and
commune with one another. American educational institutions, which
serve all social class levels, are dominated by teachers of middle
class background who stress middle class values, attitudes and
goals.”
