Abstract
This summary report on psychiatrists is based on an investigation of status and job satisfaction in five mental health professions.

We therefore predicted that (a) job satisfaction and status in general would be directly related, (b) state institutional positions would be perceived universally as having lower status than nonstate institutional positions, and (c) the job satisfaction of state institutional personnel would be lower than that of nonstate institutional personnel.
