The monograph deals with stratification by means of interaction distances: analyses of Bogardus scale for occupational categories / friendship patterns and in-depth interviews. We pursue 1. homophily (like-me) hypothesis, 2. existence of subjective social class boundaries, 3. images of occupations and the society; and using qualitative analysis 4. the perception of social classes and 5. how people distinguish and distance themselves from or identify with these categories/classes.
