Abstract The present study was conducted to explore the phenomenon of sociopolitical attitudes (SPA) as related to socioeconomic status (SES) difference among three generations in the context of Bangladesh. A total of 360 Ss equally divided into younger, middle aged and older generations were utilized as the sample of the study. Again each generation was subdivided into upper middle social class and lower middle social class. The results revealed that the younger generation expressed more radical attitudes as compared to the middle and older generations.
