Résumé anglais John H. Goldthorpe : Images of class among affluent manual workers. It has been suggested that relatively affluent manual workers, characterised by an instrumental orientation to work and a privatised social life, may have images of the class structure significantly different from either the 'power' models typical of more traditional manual workers or the 'prestige' models typical of white-collar employees : specifically, that they will tend rather to interpret class structure in 'money' terms. Result from an investigation of the class images of a sample of 229 British workers, living in a prosperous and expanding industrial town, serve largely to confirm this hypothesis. Among workers studied, a relatively new mode of social consciousness appeared to prevail, combining in a complex manner both collectivist and individualist elements.
