- Title
SOCIAL STATUS AND RESPONSES TO THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS.
- Authors
Sigelman, Lee
- Abstract
Six different interpretations of the linkage between social status and foreign policy opinions generate a number of competing hypotheses about the manner in which various segments of the American public responded to the Iranian hostage crisis. Opinion data gathered during the first six weeks of the crisis are more consistent with the "lower class disengagement" thesis than with any other interpretation, but the overriding fact is that in most instances social status did not exert a particularly powerful effect on responses to the crisis.
