At jeast that’s what Dr. Edward 0. Laumann, professor of sociology at the University of Michigan, says after a study of hundreds of homes in various income brackets. Below are somestatements about household decor. Do you think they are true or false? 1. Families which have a consistent decor in their homes are likely to be loyal to one particuls 21 party. True. Persons cent favor a unified style, say French Provincial, Victorian, etc., tend to have well-defined views. 2. People who have French furniture, books, a piano, expensive stereo, eic., are trying to climb the social ladder. False. Such peopleare actually trying to showthat their families have had money and status for several generations. 3. In houses where traditiona! decor predominates, the husband and wife stick to the accepted male-female roles, True. Such persons like to have their life roles well-defined. 4, Homes that are full of new fashions are inhabited by people who feel secure enough to be adventurous. False. Such households usually are representative of the nouveaux riches, and these individuals are anything but secure. 5. Persons who have tv sets in their bedroom like to watch the late talk shows. False. Actually, a belief has grown that a tv set in the living room is a feature of a low-income household, so many status- conscious individuals seek to avoid this stigma. 6. Youcantell something about the economic status of a family by its dog. True. The highest income levels own such dogs as Afghan hounds and Borzois. 7. Types of window curtains vary widely from one social class to another. True. Working-class houses frequently have living-room curtains with floral pat- terns. Lower middle-class homes favor translucentcurtains. The nowveaur riches prefer curtains with geometric patterns. The established rich choose solid-color draperies, often in expensive fabrics. 8. Religious paintings are found in all kinds of homes, regardless of class. True—up to a point. The preponderance of religious art is becoming confined to lower-class homes. In middle- or upperclass households, religious scenes are chosen on the basis of their quality as art rather than becauseof their symbolism. # —ALAN D. HAAS Family Weekly, April 5, 1970 |
