Social Class Positioning


“Social class positioning influences all aspects of
everyday interaction – how to talk, if to talk 
and when, whom to trust, whether or not to plan
or risk, what can or cannot be done, 
how to belong, and who to be. Of course, 
how people respond to these social interactions
 depends on how social class intersects with
 the meanings and practices associated with other 
significant sociocultural categories 
(gender, race, ethnicity, age, cohort, religion, geography, sexual orientation) 
that also influence psychological tendencies.”
