Consumption takes place in settings or environments which have both
direct and indirect effects on its dynamic path. Direct effects of
environments on activities in consuming can occur through
constraints that environments impose. Environment can also have
indirect effects on consumption through enduring modification of
internalized constructs which enter heuristics for decisions on
activities. The importance of environments to consumption is
increased by the definitional dependence of status on the
judgements of others. This study examines microprocessing in
consumer activities for status as it interacts with structure in
the environments of these activities. The importance of
environments in status activities provides the basis for a
seperate, but related inquiry into observed differences in the form
they take across societies. Conjecture on the consequences of
differences in the structure of environments for consumption that
typify a society is studied in the narrative statements by members
of comparison societies and in the content of print advertising in
these societies.Evolutionary processes which could establish
observed differences in structure across societies are also
considered in both their systematic and random components. I review
models of random drift and stochastic resonance as candidate forms
for generating observed structure in environments. Directions for
the subsequent study of status through consumption are discussed.P
