The distinction between economic, cultural, and social capital has proven to be useful to explain the way in which parents pass their status on to their children, and to explain why there is individual variation in the status attainment process. One of the core questions in the sociology of social stratification is how status is attained within a given society, and how the determinants of status attainment vary over historical periods and over societies. An important part of the status attainment model, as developed by Blau and Duncan (1967), consists of the effects the family of origin have on offspring status. The key notion of the working of the different types of capital is that educational attainment, occupational achievement, and income attainment are affected by the resources an individual has at his or her disposal. Note that many sociologists in the field of social stratification do not use the word capital , but refer to economic, cultural, and social resources . Whereas the distinction between economic, cultural, and social resources has been developed to explain the effects of the family of origin on educational and occupational attainment, it has proven to be fruitful in other realms of the status attainment process as well
