Prestige examines whether social prestige is still an important
axis of the stratification hierarchy. It appears that prestige has
lost some of the close connection with social position it had in
estates societies. Prestige distribution patterns have changed and
individualized gradations emerged, while agreement in the
occupational prestige in Poland is lower than in the West and still
declining. However, low consensus in occupational prestige rankings
does not entail a disintegration of respect norms as such: personal
prestige is still a relevant factor in designing life strategies
and people do care about respect. This volume presents empirical
evidence that all social classes recognize the motivational,
integrative and satisfying functions of prestige.
