Abstract

In today's society, the gap between the richer and the poorer social class is becoming more problematic: increase in advantage that wealthier people inherit outclasses endeavors of people from lower classes. Discriminations and prejudice towards people with a relatively poor family background also perpetuate. Therefore, the author believes that socioeconomic status would be a practical, functional topic of investigation. The topic of this paper is the impact of social economic status. The paper will cover several experiments: Impact of subjective social status (SSS) and Socioeconomic Status (SES) on student’s academic performance, impact of SES on children's self-perceptions Self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-regulatory capacity, and the impact of SES on one’s personality. The results of this study contribute to a further knowledge of the effects involving social economic status and to the development of different educational strategies for different families.
