SES-1302715 PI: Shelley CorrellCo-PI: Alec WattsStanford University Across the social sciences, research has demonstrated that status is an omnipresent and consequential cultural concept associated with both social categories (e.g., race, gender) and social roles (e.g., occupations). This dissertation research is concerned with the interactions of status, focusing specifically on the consequences of a person occupying a social role that is culturally associated with a level of generalized status, respect or esteem that is inconsistent with their social category. Examples of such individuals are black women engineers, stay-at-home dads, male secretaries, and college students who pursue majors atypical for their gender. This project refines the concept of status inconsistency and develops an original, general theoretical model of the consequences of occupying a status-inconsistent role. The project is centered on three primary research questions: 1) How does status inconsistency bias judgment? 2) What are the tangible consequences of these biases? And 3) In what ways do justifications for being status-inconsistent moderates these biases and consequences? The research will use social science experimental techniques to measure participants' perceptions, attitudes, and justifications of those responses in a variety of contexts. Broader ImpactThe contribution of this project is to develop a single, general model of how status inconsistency can shape an individual's experiences in a social role. The generalizability of the model allows for its applicability across a vast range of situations, such as diversity recruitment in higher education and high status occupations, as minority individuals are often status-inconsistent in these settings. As another example, stay-at-home dads are status-inconsistent and the negative social consequences men face as caretakers may be partly responsible for the dearth of men being more involved in housework and childcare. Thus, this project contributes to understanding inequalities in education, workplaces, and in homes.

在整个社会科学领域，研究表明，地位是一个无处不在的文化概念，与社会类别(如种族、性别)和社会角色(如职业)有关。这篇论文的研究关注的是身份的相互作用，特别是关注一个人扮演的社会角色在文化上与与其社会类别不一致的普遍地位、尊重或尊重水平有关的后果。这类人的例子包括黑人女工程师、全职爸爸、男秘书和大学生，她们追求的专业与性别不同。这个项目提炼了身份不一致的概念，并开发了一个独创的、通用的理论模型，解释了担任身份不一致角色的后果。该项目集中在三个主要的研究问题上：1)身份不一致如何影响判断？2)这些偏见的具体后果是什么？3)身份不一致的理由在哪些方面缓和了这些偏见和后果？这项研究将使用社会科学实验技术来衡量参与者在不同背景下对这些反应的感知、态度和理由。更广泛的影响这个项目的贡献是开发一个单一的、通用的模型，说明身份不一致如何塑造个人在社会角色中的经历。该模式的概括性使其适用于广泛的情况，例如高等教育中的多样化招聘和地位较高的职业，因为在这些情况下，少数群体个人的地位往往不一致。另一个例子是，全职父亲的地位不稳定，男性作为照顾者面临的负面社会后果可能是男性更多地参与家务和照看孩子的缺乏的部分原因。因此，这个项目有助于理解教育、工作场所和家庭中的不平等。
