Socioeconomic status (SES) is a complex and multidimensional construct,
encompassing both independent objective characteristics (e.g., income or education)
and subjective people’s ratings of their placement in the socioeconomic spectrum.
Within the growing literature on subjective SES belongingness and psychological
well-being, subjective indices of SES have tended to center on the use of pictorial
rank-related social ladders where individuals place themselves relative to others
by simultaneously considering their income, educational level, and occupation. This
approach, albeit consistent with the idea of these social ladders as summative or
cognitive SES markers, might potentially constrain individuals’ conceptions of their
SES. This research (N = 368; Mage = 39.67, SD = 13.40) is intended to expand prior
investigations on SES and psychological well-being by revisiting the role of subjective
SES. In particular, it (a) proposes an innovative adaptation of the traditional MacArthur
Scale of subjective SES to income, education, and occupation, thus resulting in
three separate social ladders; and (b) tests the empirical contribution of such three
social ladders to psychological well-being. Overall, our findings showed that the novel
education and occupation ladders (excluding the income ladder) are predictive of a
significant part of the variance levels of psychological well-being that is not due to
canonical objective metrics of SES (i.e., income, education, and occupation), or to the
conventional MacArthur Scale of subjective SES. Although preliminary, these results
underscore the need to further reconsider (subjective) SES-related conceptualization
and measurement strategies to gather a more comprehensive understanding of the
SES-psychological well-being link.
