Position and Disposition: The Contextual Development of Human Values
Research on the importance of values often focuses primarily on one domain of social predictors (e.g., economic) or limits its scope to a single dimension of values.

Results indicate that traditional institutions such as religion and parenthood ar…

These e…

Drawing on previous work and guided by Bourdieu's concept of habitus, I hypothesize that workers who have more educatio…
