The Psychology of Social Status outlines the foundational insights,
key advances, and developments that have been made in the field
thus far. The goal of this volume is to provide an in-depth
exploration of the psychology of human status, by reviewing each of
the major lines of theoretical and empirical work that have been
conducted in this vein. Organized thematically, the volume covers
the following areas: - An overview of several prominent overarching
theoretical perspectives that have shaped much of the current
research on social status. - Examination of the personality,
demographic, situational, emotional, and cultural underpinnings of
status attainment, addressing questions about why and how people
attain status. - Identification of the intra- and inter-personal
benefits and costs of possessing and lacking status. - Emerging
research on the biological and bodily manifestation of status
attainment - A broad review of available research methods for
measuring and experimentally manipulating social status A key
component of this volume is its interdisciplinary focus. Research
on social status cuts across a variety of academic fields,
including psychology, sociology, anthropology, organizational
science others; thus the chapter authors are drawn from a similarly
wide-range of disciplines. Encompassing the current state of
knowledge in a thriving and proliferating field, The Psychology of
Social Status is a fascinating and comprehensive resource for
researchers, students, policy-makers, and others interested in
learning about the complex nature of social status, hierarchy,
dominance, and power.

Affective phenomena permeate group life. When individuals work
together in groups, feelings of pride, fear, hope, anger, and
anxiety constantly emerge and have a profound influence on group
member behavior. The experience and expression of moods and
emotions shape whether group members form close bonds with one
another, how they negotiate roles and status differences, resolve
their conflicts, make decisions, and ultimately whether they
accomplish their collective goals. After a long history of focusing
on cognitive and behavioral processes, group researchers are
beginning to take more seriously the role of affective phenomena.
This tenth volume of Research on Managing Groups and Teams brings
together some of the top researchers studying the interplay of
groups and affect. The works presented examine how groups influence
individual members emotional experiences; in turn, how a groups
success depends on the emotions and emotional capabilities of its
members; how moods and emotions mediate the effects of demographic
diversity in groups, the emergence of intra-group conflict, and the
attachment individuals feel to their groups; and how emotions
foster divisions between groups, organizations, or even societies.
This book is of interest to anyone seeking to better understand
group dynamics, the social nature of moods and emotions, or the
ways in which affective phenomena can be leveraged to increase
human performance and productivity.
