Abstract: With CLDS 2014 cross section data, this paper selects 16 potential factors and divides them into five categories: objective factors, subjective factors, social environment factors, political factors and control variables, and then uses Ordered Probit model to identify and analyzes the influence of the variables on the subjective social status. The empirical results show that objective factors and subjective factors are far more influential than societal environment factors on social status, and political participation can significantly enhance individual social status identity. This shows that when people evaluate their social status, they make comparison to environment factors, then refermore to their own subjective and objective factors. In addition, in the process of identifying influencing factors, the paper uses the model transformation method to analyze deeply the mechanism of the parent effect to offspring on subjective social status, and finds that parents' prior-advantage will enhance the subjective social status of offspring by raising offspring's education and household income, and other factors.
