Duncan, Dudley
▪ 2005

      American sociologist (b. Dec. 2, 1921, Nocona, Texas—d. Nov. 16, 2004, Santa Barbara, Calif.), showed that education was more influential than social status in determining future success. He was an early leader in the field of quantitative sociology, borrowing statistical models from biology to use in sociology. Duncan was a professor at the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, Arizona, and California, Santa Barbara. Notable among his books were The American Occupational Structure (1967) and Notes on Social Measurement (1984).
