The relationship of parents' socio-economic status to Navy occupation was determined for 1,060 naval personnel in 16 occupational categories. Officers were significantly higher on the socio-economic index than enlisted men, and when Navy enlisted rates (jobs) were grouped into 2 broad categories, white-collar and blue-collar, the white-collar group scored significantly higher on the index than the blue-collar. The observed differences in socio-economic background among Navy occupational groups suggests possible concomitant variations in value systems, achievement strivings, and personality disorders.
