| dc.description.abstract | In social hierarchies, people are organized based on their status, which is determined by the judgments of others and has two components: respect and influence. The focus of this work was to understand the relationship and effects of these components in interpersonal perceptions. We tested three hypotheses: 1) Self-reports, perceptions, and target effects of respect and influence will be associated such that individuals who are perceived as having greater respect will also be perceived as having higher levels of influence; 2) Others will agree about who has respect and influence in a group (consensus), and will also agree about their own relative respect and influence in the group (accuracy); 3) Personality traits will predict who attains status. To test these hypotheses, we had groups of four to six individuals (N = 225) complete a leaderless group decision-making task and then provide ratings about the status and personality of each of the other members of the group. We find support for the relationship between respect and influence and that people achieve consensus and accuracy in their perceptions of these components of status. We also find that Extraversion and the facet of sociability are associated with respect and influence, and that these components have distinct relationships with other individual differences. | en_US |
