Abstract	The relative impact of the aging process, pervasive changes in higher education, and career socialization experiences on college faculty members' distributions of work effort was studied. Secondary analyses were completed on the following surveys: the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education Survey (1969) and the Survey of the American Professoriate (1975 and 1977). The sample consisted of white males with appointments in humanities, social science, and natural science departments at Carnegie I institutions. Influences on faculty role performance were determined by testing 11 propositions concerning the changes that could be attributed to age, cohort socialization, environment, and life course. Areas of study included: mean hours devoted to instruction at each time of data collection; measures of service to the department and university; age-related changes in interest that might account for faculty role performance; the effect of socialization experiences (e.g., graduate education, promotion) on the behavior of faculty of the same career age who are evaluated at different times; the effect of the recency of appointment on preference for research and acquisition of grant support; and the effect of tenure and rank on research interest and funding acquisition.
