Doctoral Dissertation Research: Status, Group Identity and Influence: An Experimental Test

SES 0082775 PI：巴里马科夫斯基，克里斯托弗巴纳姆经常在小组设置，无论是地位差异和小组成员是突出的。 地位泛化理论描述了地位差异如何导致能力差异的推论，而情境认同理论描述了群体成员身份如何导致影响行为的某些差异。 在两个过程都起作用的情况下，它们可能会做出不同的预测。 例如，一个由共和党人和民主党人组成的委员会将显示出既依赖于能力推断（身份过程）又依赖于群体成员身份（身份过程）的影响效应。 这个项目提供了一个概念化的这种情况下，并测试了一系列的实验概念化。 这项工作的主要成果将是建立一个理论，在某些情况下，地位和身份如何相互作用，该理论可能有重要的现实生活中的应用。

SES 0082775PI: Barry Markovsky, Christopher BarnumOftentimes in group settings, both status differences and in-group membership are salient. Theories of status generalization describe how status differences can lead to inferences of differential ability, while theories of situated identities describe how group membership can lead to certain differences in influence behaviors. In situations where both processes function, they may make different predictions. For instance, a committee composed of Republicans and Democrats will show influence effects dependent both on ability inferences (a status process) and on group membership (an identity process). This project offers a conceptualization of such situations, and tests the conceptualization in a series of experiments. The primary result of this work will be to build a theory of how status and identity interact in some cases, and the theory may have important real-life applications.
