Abstrakt: This paper investigates the relevance of both formal training and current career conditions for the professional activity of an academic. We focus on the socialization of a sample of Ph.D. sociologists submitting papers for publication. Using regression procedures, we relate productivity of the training faculty, current publication pressures, sex, and year of degree to publication-related activity. We find that current publication pressures is a better predictor of professional activity than it productivity of the training faculty. In addition, sex appears to mediate professional socialization experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
