Abstract

Lovaglia and Houser propose that emotional reactions compatible with status characteristics reduce status differences among group members, while incompatible emotional reactions increase status differences. They test their theory in four experiments using a variety of techniques, and results from all experiments support the theory.
Behavior Emotions Experiments Gender Groups Responses Social classes Social structure
