Effects of Education, Occupation, and Setting on Reading Practices.

Guthrie, John T.; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v23 n1 p151-60 Spr 1986

Hypotheses regarding the social contexts of reading activities were tested in two studies. Significant three-way interactions were found between (1) education, setting, and the contents (subject matters) of reading; and (2) occupation, setting, and reading contents. Because social contexts influence reading practices they should be considered in educational planning. (Author/LMO)
