Abstract
A study of 12,168 male first admissions from Chicago to public and private mental hospitals shows that the age-adjusted commitment rates by occupational groups are negatively correlated with the factors of occupational income and prestige. These results are tentatively explained by occupational selection and the differential experiences which men have as direct and indirect results of their occupation.
