Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The aim of this survey was to establish the extent to which involvement in `pop culture' is age-specific and to examine the social class and sex differentials in adolescent and adult involvement. Families were located with teenage children in three contrasted areas of a large midland city (a middle class area, a traditional working class area and a council estate).

Main Topics:

Variables Socio-economic background of the family, educational career and attitudes, occupational history and occupational choice, political affiliations. Friendship patterns, general leisure activities, involvement in sports/clubs and organisations, self-reported delinquency. General involvement with the mass media, involvement in pop culture (music, dancing, fashion), pop culture preference and antagonisms. Images of social change, perceptions of social problems, images of social class, perceptions of youth and of youth subcultures, subcultural affiliations.
