Abstract

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 were thought to be a source of strain and a motivation to bring the ranks into line. This formal exploration was presented in 1966.
