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.

Timely and authoritative, this volume reviews the breadth of
current knowledge on the self-conscious emotions and their role in
psychological and social functioning. Leading investigators
approach the subject from multiple levels of analysis, ranging from
basic brain mechanisms to complex social processes. Chapters
present compelling advances in research on the most fundamental
self-conscious emotions: embarrassment, guilt, humiliation, pride,
and shame. Addressed are neural and evolutionary mechanisms,
developmental processes, cultural differences and similarities, and
influences on a wide array of social behaviors and personality
processes. A unique chapter on assessment describes and evaluates
the full range of available measures.
