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.”
