Occupational prestige was determined by linking a text description of longest held occupation with a social status item from the Occupational Information Network.

The inverse association between education and CRP was explained by the effect of education on income and occupational prestige. The effect of occupational prestige on CRP was independent of mediators in the model.Conclusions: The findings indicate that education may work to influence CRP primarily through increasing income and occupational prestige and provides evidence that occupational prestige captures a unique aspect of SEP.",
