Abstract:
|
Why is education associated positively with the sense of personal control? Using data from a 2005 nationally representative survey of the United States (N = 1,800), we document that education is associated positively with the sense of control because of its positive link to higher status occupations, and higher levels of job authority, schedule control, job skill, nonroutine work, and social support. Likewise, the well-educated tend to have lower levels of economic hardship, fewer children in the household, and a higher level of the generalized sense of trust. Collectively, these patterns of association fully account for education’s positive effect on the sense of control. We discuss the implications of these findings for theories about education as a source of status inequality, human capital, as well as stress process theory’s account of the sense of control as a personal resource. |
