	John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : Money, status, and social cognition
		To argue the reverse sequence (that large social groups are a by-product of having evolved large brains to solve simple ecological problems) is, as with the various ontogenetic hypotheses, to leave unanswered the problem of the costs of social living (Dunbar 2003:169).
		In particular, the small social groups of orangutans appear to be a poor fit to the model when compared to their brains, which are similar in size to those of chimpanzees.
		The complexity of social interactions within each of these species is beyond that of most other social species, factoring the variation in time spent with other individuals and the gradation of possible interactions from cooperation to aggression to reconciliation.

		People of higher social status have better health and happiness than their lowlier contemporaries, according to a leading epidemiologist.

	SOCIAL CLASS, CONFLICT, AND DISTANCE
		Relative status ranks, status disequilibrium, and incongruence have consequences for conflict and social interaction among individuals, as argued in Chapter 18.
		Field and antifields form a social front of class-conflict, the societal wide disposition for ins and outs to struggle, the general tendency for those who benefit to support a status quo and those who do not to oppose it.
		Status and class thus represent different latent functions, underlying patterns of interrelated social dispositions, and potentialities bearing on social interaction.

	Hotspots, Chapter 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		If it is advantageous to both parties in a conflict to assess their opponent's status properly in reference to themselves, it is not surprising that many displays for communicating social posit ion have evolved.
		In many species recognition of these signals of status seems to be "built-in," requiring very little previous conditioning; among others, their lives follow a pattern which makes learning so situationally inherent that it may be difficult to separate the different origins of their behavior.
		F or example, the use of height in human threat for status displays as one necessarily moves through a great part of his physical development - first as a baby, then a toddler, preschooler, juvenile, teenager, etc. - equating height with status, for there is an almost perfect correlation up until reproductive maturity.

		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).
		Socially competent children presumably ought to be able to recognize affect in others and in themselves more readily and more accurately than less competent children.
		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.

		In terms of his social status, Paul appears as a retainer to the elites of Jerusalem and as a person who can speak eloquently to Greek philosophers, Roman proconsuls and Jewish kings.
		Thus Lenski sets out to describe nine levels of social status, beginning with the imperial and urban elite at the top of the pyramid and concluding with artisans, untouchables and expendibles at the bottom.
		In short, Paul is a very honorable person of relatively high social status, who associates with the elites of his world and is trained to perform suitably at that level of society.

	Sudden change in social status triggers genetic response in male fish, study finds
		This finding offers the first direct evidence that changes in social status also trigger cellular and molecular changes in the brain, he adds, which could have significant implications for understanding how other vertebrates, including humans, respond to social information.
		In earlier studies, Fernald and his colleagues discovered that a change in social status also causes a change in a group of brain cells that produce gonadotropin-releasing hormones--chemical signals from the brain to the gonads that regulate sexual development in all vertebrates, including people.
		When the male descends in status, the opposite occurs--the hormone-producing brain cells decrease in size, the ostentatious colors and stripes disappear, and the testes shrink and the male becomes infertile.

	Sex Roles: A Journal of Research: The influence of social status on token women leaders' expectations about leading ...
		Social scientists have closely assessed how token women in male-dominated fields have been received by their male counterparts, as well as how they have performed and how they have felt about their organizational experiences.
		As we will describe in some detail, it has been found that token women tend to feel isolated, to be contrasted against their male peers, and to experience heightened pressure to perform well, both when they are members of a male-dominated work group and when they are tasked with leading such a group.
		The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on token women, and then to present the results of a study that offers one possible answer as to why token women tend to experience difficulties in organizational settings--because they are ascribed by society lower status than are men.

	Legislation, social status and international standards: UNESCO Culture Sector
		Creating an observatory dedicated to the status of the artist in the world raises two fundamental questions: who is an "artist"?
		The definition of an artist may mask ideological differences regarding the very notions of art and creation on the one hand, and the concept of socially identifiable, profitable and paid work on the other.
		The observatory’s first thematic heading, which deals with legislation, social status and international standards, contains a database, to be regularly updated, on the status of artists in the fields of literature, theatre, dance, music, the visual arts and cinema.

		In fact, you could argue that the essence of the entire history of information technology, going back to cuneiform, is an expansion in the breadth and depth of non-zero-sum games.
		Even if you're getting lots of social contact, and even if that social contact is "win-win" in some sense--it helps you meet vocational goals, or raises your social status--you still may be losing in some other sense.
		In real life, social status is based on property, while in cyberspace, it is based on position, which may or may not be purely symbolic.
