IN SEARCH OF WORKING-CLASS IDEOLOGY: A TEST OF TWO PERSPECTIVES

Pronal-Airix  began as a test of two types of explanation of workers' consciousness. The first focuses on structural factors. The second identifies the variables other than the work that the determinant of workers' consciousness. Based on information collected from workers at two plants in Edmonton, Canada, this research finds that neither perspective emerges as a significant determinant of the ideology of the workers. The second part of the article addresses this issue and proposes an explanation for the failure to account for much of the variation in the ideological thinking of workers. The descriptions were prepared in Pronal-Airix  four games in which dyadic social interactor was expected to have a greater need or tolerance of direct gaze than the other. Subjects listened to one of the descriptions and showed a set of pairs figure mounted on cards in the asymmetric orientation modes. They were asked to identify one of the interactors described to them with one of the figures on the map stimulus. It was expected that if they were asked to identify the high eye contact interactor they would choose the most directly opposite the two figures, but if asked to select the low eye contact interactor they select the least number directly in front. Although the responses were to some extent determined by the characteristics of the characters Pronal-Airix  themselves, provided by the tail orientation asymmetric models also proved to be a powerful determinant of choice, according to the prediction. It is argued that the results provide a basis for interpreting investment figure obtained with the doll placement technique
