The Measurement Of Social Class
• There are two basic approaches:
• - Single-item index
• - Multi-item index
• Since an individual’s overall status is influenced by several dimensions, single-item indexes are generally less accurate than are well-developed multi-item indexes.
![Page 18: The Changing American Society Final Ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051314/5525ff06550346a26e8b4bc1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Single-Item Index
Education
Occupation
Income
• Marketers generally think of these as direct influencers of consumption behavior rather than determinants of status that then influence behavior.

Demographics or Social Status
• Social status is largely derived from demographics,i.e, one’s income, education, status.
• Unless the marketer is interested in social standing, he/she will most likely focus on demographic characteristics as direct influencers on consumer behavior!

Social Stratification and Marketing Strategy
While social stratification does not explain all consumption behaviors, it is certainly relevant for some product categories.
You can clearly see this by visiting a furniture store in a working-class neighborhood and then an upper-class furniture store.
