Organized thematically, the volume covers the following areas:
- An overview of several prominent overarching theoretical perspectives that have shaped much of the current research on social status.
- Examination of the personality, demographic, situational, emotional, and cultural underpinnings of status attainment, addressing questions about why and how people attain status.
- Identification of the intra- and inter-personal benefits and costs of possessing and lacking status.- Emerging research on the biological and bodily manifestation of status attainment
- Abroad review of available research methods for measuring and experimentally manipulating social status
?A key component of this volume is its interdisciplinary focus. Research on social status cuts across a variety of academic fields, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, organizational science others; thus the chapter authors are drawn from a similarly wide-range of disciplines. Encompassing the current state of knowledge in a thriving and proliferating field, The Psychology of Social Status is a fascinating and comprehensive resource for researchers, students, policy-makers, and others interested in learning about the complex nature of social status, hierarchy, dominance, and power.
