Abstract
The aim of the investigation was to determine canonical relationships between the social status and motor dimensions. With the aim in view 617 subjects were tested with 31 variables for assessment of the social status and 110 motor tests. The work extensively discusses methodological problems connected with this type of investigation. Results show that two pairs of canonical factors are sufficient to clarify relationship between the social status and motor abilities. Motor abilities develop, to a very significant extent, under the influence of these sociological factors which determine the position of the subject in the socialization subsystem and partly those determining his position in the institutional subsystem. A favorable position in these subsystems has a strong facilitating effect on the development of complex abilities; only those abilities requiring a weak intervention of cortical processes are independent of the status dimensions of the subject and can, to a significant extent, develop under the influence of his own activity.
