(2015-08-15)This technical report updates the theoretical developments and empirical research in the program since the review by Berger, Rosenholtz, and Zelditch (1980).
-
(2015-07-26)The authors develop a theory in which consistency of ranks on position and ability affect individual satisfaction and system stability. The mechanism is rewards associated with different patterns. For instance, when position ...
-
(2015-08-15)This Technical Report (similar to 32, 35 and 53) addresses the form of combination of status characteristics with particular interest in developing the theory of status characteristics and expectation states for multi- ...
-
(2015-08-15)The authors describe and evaluate several indices of brain hemisphere lateralization. The methods use different data, including response accuracy, reaction times, and EEG asymmetry. They describe an index- free ranking ...
-
(2015-07-06)Moore replicated and extended a finding of Miyamoto and Dornbusch (1956) with a different population in a different setting. Self-concepts of married couples were closely linked with their spouses’ views, but even more ...
-
(2015-08-15)Research teams may be studied as social systems organized along dimensions of status, such as rights to evaluate others and to allocate rewards. “Status consistency” is the degree to which salient statuses an individual ...

Investigation of Pseudo-Mutuality, Double Binding and Scapegoating: An Expectation States Approach. (2015-08-15)The author develops a theory, both discursively and formally, of communication ambiguity that can result in the three situations of the title. In a dependent relationship, such as parent-child or teacher-student, an ambiguous ...
-
(2015-08-15)The theoretical development distinguishes three objects of legitimation, of persons, of positions, and of actions; and three types of legitimacy, propriety, endorsement, and authorization. Propriety is normative support ...
-
(2015-08-15)The authors review sociological literature describing different perspectives and uses of studies of change in discrete (qualitative) and quantitative outcomes. They show that, contrary to many injunctions, temporal analysis ...
-
(2015-08-15)The author explores methodological issues in developing stochastic models for changes in quantitative variables. The general approach here is to treat observed distributions as reflecting distributions of probabilities of ...
-
(2017-08-24)This is a revision of TR#23, focusing on the experimental tests.
-
(2015-08-06)This technical report builds on the research reported in Technical Report 32. It reports a second experiment investigating how two status characteristics affect expectations and power and prestige. The theoretical goal ...
-
(2015-07-13)This paper argues that rank disequilibrium (or status inconsistency) is a factor in developing right-wing attitudes. The topic had contemporary relevance with the prominence of the John Birch Society, the Christian ...
-
(2015-07-13)This theoretical paper addresses what was then called “status consistency” or “status crystallization.” Discrepant ranks on different characteristics such as income, occupational prestige, education, race, and religion ...
-
(2015-07-21)The authors describe four kinds of authority rights (legitimate attempts to control others) and analyze organizational authority systems in terms of the process by which participants’ performances are evaluated. They present ...
-
(2015-08-15)The authors analyze different ways that problem solving groups organize structurally. The argument applies to all groups but because of historical facts, all-male and all-female groups instantiate the situations described. ...
-
(2015-08-15)The concern is to determine the process by which directly relevant, and inversely relevant characteristics function to affect expectation states. Results of a four-condition experiment showed that dissimilarity alone of ...
-

-
(2015-07-21)This Technical Report presents the theoretical account for relations among power and prestige behaviors in small groups and performance expectation states. It explains, among other things, the high correlations among several ...
-
(2015-08-06)This Technical Report discusses results from fifty nine 3 person groups. Although groups began with no induced status or expectation differentiation, about half showed participation inequality from the first 2-minute ...
