Status Characteristics and Expectation States
(2015-07-19)
This is the first statement of the theory of status characteristics and expectation states and a form of the manuscipt was published by the authors (1966). The theory generalizes the theory of performance expectations first ...
Three Tasks for Use in Laboratory Small-Group Experiments
(2015-07-19)
Thomas L. Conner describes development and testing of Meaning Insight and Relational Insight 1 and 2. The tasks, which are still in use for expectation states research, were developed to test ideas in TR#1 and later ...
Legitimacy and the Support of Revolutionary Coalitions
(2017-08-16)
The authors develop a theory of conditions under which inequity will lead to attempts to change the structure. Factors affecting the likelihood of attempts include power differences, false consciousness, low self-esteem, ...
Status Characteristics and Social Interaction
(2015-08-10)
The authors review literature on effects of status differences on interaction and formulate general principles of status generalization to explain them. Next they conduct direct tests of the explanation in an experimental ...
Models of Change in Quantitative Variables, Part I: Deterministic Models
(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 ...
Eliminating the Effects of a Status Characteristic
(2015-08-12)
The authors propose a theory in which status generalization from a diffuse status characteristic such as age, race or gender can be eliminated by introducing contradictory information about a specific status characteristic ...
Paths of Consistent and Inconsistent Status Information and the Induction of Relevance
(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 ...
Multi-Characteristic Status Situations and the Determination of Power and Prestige Order
(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 ...
The Process of Status Evolution
(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 ...
Quality of Maximum Likelihood Estimates of Parameters in a Log-Linear Rate Model
(2015-08-15)
The authors address four sources of indeterminacy in maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for multivariate modeling of change using panel data: censoring, caused by changes that occur after the observation period ends; small ...
