Skill is conceived as the use of efficient strategies for using capacities to meet the demands of tasks or situations. The modern concept of social skill arose in the early 1960s from application of the concepts of skill in studies of man-machine interactions, to those between persons. Since then, substantial research has been done developing the concept and applying it to industrial and clinical problems. The present paper outlines a possible application to social class, suggesting how, according to principles of social skill, this is likely, to arise from ways of life found efficient by those in different occupations
