Synopsis

This is a new edition of a book earlier published by Blackwell (1990-hardcover; 1993-paperback), now with a new foreword. The book presents the results of a major research project on the relationship between social structure and personality in both capitalist and socialist societies. Based on a formidable array of original empirical work and using sophisticated cross-national methodologies, it gives a profound comparative interpretation of the links between social class and social stratification, working conditions, and personality in the capitalist United States and Poland, then in the last period of a still functioning socialist regime.
