Focusing on values and perceptions of opportunity, an attempt is made to get at the attitudinal sources of class differences in the behavior of male young persons with respect to dominant societal success goals. Systematic class differences are found between middle- and working-class male high school juniors in three areas: evaluation of dominant success goals, evaluation of activities potentially instrumental for the realization of success goals, and beliefs regarding access to those goals. In showing class differences in perceptions of opportunity and greater flexibility in the value orientations of working- than middle-class students, the data support Rodman's “Value stretch” hypothesis
