Abstract

In this research we have tried to study the effects of the OCCUPATIONAL STATUS of women on their LIFESTYLE. Our theoretical framework is based on Pierre Beurdeau's theory and the research has been done with survey method.The dependent variable OF this research is life-style and its components are social relations, LEISURE TIME, TASTE, and body management. The independent variable of our research is occupational position and its components are occupational prestige and economical position.The findings show that with increases in the women's occupational position, their social relations decreased. Besides the women who worked in the middle occupational positions had more LEISURE TIME than those who worked in high and low level occupations. But women who had higher occupational positions, spent more times for sports activities and consumeed more cultural commodities than other women. Also in this research we have not seen any relationship between OCCUPATIONAL STATUS and BODY CONTROL. Finally the findings show that the women with high occupational positions kept distance from consumptionism and paid more attention to the functions and benefits of goods. Moreover in this study we found that we cannot explain LIFESTYLE, consumption patterns and women's identity distinctions just by their occupational positions and we should consider other cultural factors (such as gender, education and values) in the formation of people's identity and life style.
