| | Status symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The expression "status symbol" was first recorded in 1955 [1] but gained wide currency through the 1959 best selling book The Status Seekers, in which the journalist Vance Packard described American social stratification and behavior. | | | For example, in a commercial society, having money or wealth and things that can be bought by wealth, such as cars, houses, or fine clothing, are considered status symbols. | | | Status symbols also indicate the cultural values of a society. |

| | Redefining Reality:
A Resolution to the Paradox of Emancipation and the Agency-Structure Dichotomy1 |
| | Thus, the simple act of studying social power implies that one must be prepared to challenge the status quo, “contaminate” (Richardson, 1994) the environment under observation, and stimulate the potential for social change (McGettigan 1999, 2001a). | | | Indeed, redefined truth is contingent upon the capacity that social actors’ have to transform their view of reality independently of, and in opposition to, the influences of their social environments. | | | This means that autonomous social action is “imaginary,” or not real. |

| | New social movements have emerged as a critical response to the negative aspects of the globalisation process because it undermined the legitimacy of the public sphere and the notion of public good. | | | It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that new social movements have been provoked by the domination of society by the capital, the state and undemocratic technological, political, economic and social institutions. | | | The contemporary social movements have localized and pluralized the concept of legitimacy and normalized a new form of collective action aiming to alter the medium of knowledge, communication and the structure of social, economic and political power. |

| | Don Pablo González Casanova, the first Mexican to receive a Ph.D. in sociology (so I've heard), points out in his 1965 classic La democracia en México (re-edited many times since then) that population surveys had used footwear as a rough proxy for social status. | | | I mentioned ties as a status symbol; the Argentine "shirtless" wore shirts but no tie. | | | David Crow discusses shoes as a status symbol in Mexico: "The comment about the "descamisados" in Argentina reminds me of the derogatory appellative "descalzo" (shoeless) in Mexico. |

| | The Constitution of Status-- Part I |
| | Status blocs are associations, defined by their members' common characteristics, that come together to organize politically or socially for a limited time. | | | Groups whose world-views are most undermined by such changes, as well as people who have the most to lose from a change in status relationships, will understandably seek to halt what they see as an accelerating slide toward moral degeneration. | | | Groups lower in a status hierarchy may respond to their lower status by developing a compensatory sense of esteem in their own ways of living, condemning the lifestyles of higher status groups as immoral or inauthentic, or attempting to turn their lower status into a point of pride through irony. |

| | The Constitution of Status-- Part I |
| | In a hierarchy with many status groups, there can be many different ways of differentiating the various groups and their respective lifestyles, and hence the system of social meanings (and the results of changes in social meanings) can be quite complex. | | | Groups lower in a status hierarchy may respond to their lower status by developing a compensatory sense of esteem in their own ways of living, condemning the lifestyles of higher status groups as immoral or inauthentic, or attempting to turn their lower status into a point of pride through irony. | | | In other words, a status hierarchy is sustained by a system of social meanings in which one group receives relatively positive associations and another correspondingly negative associations. |

| | The Constitution of Status-- Part III |
| | Hierarchies of social status are often intertwined with and supported by distinctions of legal status. | | | This status hierarchy is unjust because it organizes social structure, distributes dignitary and material benefits, and shapes and justifies people's life chances through systematic privileging of things associated with being male over those associated with being female. | | | However, they are not currently status groups in an ongoing status hierarchy; and they are not groups who suffer overlapping and reinforcing forms of subordination and social disadvantage due to their place in that social hierarchy. |

| | The Role of Social Foundations in Education School Prestige |
| | In other words, is the relation between social foundations and education school status merely spurious, or due to a "halo effect" of the prestige of the campus. | | | Finally, the combination of college status and social foundations status is a very strong overall predictor of education school status, "explaining" 73% of the variance in the latter. | | | When the recent rankings first came out I suspected that the status of an education school’s social foundations program would be a good indicator of the status of an education school. |

| | Smith: The Career of Status Crystallization |
| | A decade later, Gerhard Lenski (1954) employed Status Crystallization (later to be given aliases such as Status Consistency, Status Inconsistency and Status Incongruence) to represent a "non- vertical dimension of social stratification" in a study of voting patterns. | | | If members of an identifiable group discover their status patterns are significantly different from the majority group this could in turn become the basis for heightened group identity and even the start of a social movement (Blumer, 1969b). | | | SC is a concept which requires a model or theory which a social-structural condition (ranking on social status dimensions) assumes or requires this structural location will produce various kinds of psychological responses (notably stress) and that these responses will result in behavioural patterns which are observable at the macro level. |

| | Because anthropologists conceive social structure as a status structure, in their view an inclusive theory of stratification would represent a general theory of all forms of social structure. | | | As a coordinate of social space, encompassing the common interrelationships among such social manifestations, the status-component reflects this relative and subjective nature of status. | | | Underlying these differing orientations is the anthropologist's emphasis on status as the primary concept for analysis of social structure, and the sociologist's emphasis on role. |

| | With the exception of a modest literature on the relationship between social status and the ability to recognize and understand others' emotions in social situations, there is very little research that connects social status to the other dimensions of childhood emotional functioning. | | | Further evidence of the ability of socially competent children to regulate their emotions comes from observations of 9-year-old boys of popular and average social status meeting in play groups of unfamiliar peers for the first time (Hubbard, Coie, and Dodge, 1993). | | | There is some support for the idea that high social status is related to the ability to regulate strong feelings effectively, although much of this evidence is based on inferences from behavioral observation. |

| | CAMSIS: Cambridge Social Interaction and Stratification scales: introduction |
| | It is a familiar argument in stratification theory that persons sharing a similar social position, in terms of social class or status group membership, are more likely to interact socially on the basis of equality with members of the same group than with members of other groups. | | | The usual approach, though, is to define a structure composed of a set of classes or status groups and then to investigate social interaction between them. | | | Social interaction will occur most frequently between persons who are socially close to one another and relatively infrequently between those that are socially distant. |
