  • Module 3 Social Structure and Social Change Lecture 16 Systems Of
    NPTEL – Humanities and Social Sciences – Introduction to Sociology Module 3 Social Structure and Social Change Lecture 16 Systems of Stratification Historically, societies have exhibited a variety of stratification systems. A stratification system is the overlapping manner in which societal members are ranked into classes, status groups and hierarchies of power. To distinguish among them, social scientists use models, abstract conceptions that they place on a particular continuum. At one extreme of the continuum is the closed, or caste, stratification system. The middle is represented by the estate system. At the other extreme is the open, or class, system. The Closed Society: Caste Whether a society has an open or a closed stratification system is determined by the way its members obtain wealth, prestige and privilege. In a closed, or caste, stratification system, class, status and power are ascribed, that is, determined strictly on the basis of family inheritance rather than individual effort or merit. In a closed society, the individual is born into a specific social stratum, called a caste, and has no opportunity to move in or out of it. Classical India offers a glaring example of a closed society. The case system that languished in India for centuries was distinguished by the fact that people were divided into a number of castes, representing areas of service to society and ranked in order of their so-called importance to it. Some ranking also resulted from struggles for power or conquest by other groups. Religion and tradition forbade members of one caste to intermarry or interact in any way with members of other castes.

The present research addresses both of these literature gaps by examining how individuals in global, distributed, electronic networks of practice allocate status in a legitimate hierarchy. Taking as its context one of the first of these organizations – the SAP Community Network – this dissertation employed the DELPHI Method, AllOurIdeas.org, and panel data to leverage a research design that kept distinct status antecedents and outcomes, and yielded five distinct contributions to knowledge.

Parental Incarceration and Social Status Attainment of Hispanic Young Adults Abstract The fact that parental incarceration has become a common event in the life course of many children is troubling. Using structural equation modeling, the present study investigates how immigrant generational status, family socio-economic background interact with parental incarceration to influence status attainment for Hispanic young adults. Three indicators of status attainment in young adulthood are used as outcome variables ─ educational attainment, wage and job quality. Results indicate that parental incarceration has a strong and negative influence on all three indicators of attained status. Most importantly, we found that parental incarceration mediates influence of immigrant generational status and family socio-economic background on status attainment of Hispanic young adults.

  • Status Inconsistency in an 'Artificial Practice'*
    Status inconsistency in an 'artificial practice'* ALBERT JACOB, M.D., M.R.C.G.P. Dundee THE study of the'artificial practice' was a logical development from an earlier study of people who required late calls (Jacob 1963). In that study, the evidence was that people who required non-urgent late calls were more likely to be in the middle intelligence range, to have high neuroticism and to have a high demand for medical attention in general. These results were not in strict agreement with the results of the 'artificial practice'. In the 'artificial practice' I found that low intelligence, introversion and neuroticism are personal characteristics associated with a high demand for medical attention. Demand for medical attention and social class were not associated. Part of the disagreement can be explained by the different method of assessing demand for medical attention between the two studies. In the earlier late call study this was done by an ad hoc classification choosing six items of service in the year as the criterion for high demand. In the 'artificial practice' the criterion was nine items of service and people who had this number or less were called perimean because they fell within the mean figure observed in all the reports which I had been able to consult in the planning stage; those with ten or more items were called supramean because they were above this level. This difference in classification was not sufficient fully to explain the discrepancy between the two results. Another important difference between the two studies was the method of assessing intelligence.

  • December, 1975 How Are Inconsistencies
    December, 1975 How Are Inconsistencies Between Status and Ability Resolved?* Morris Zelditch, Jr. Stanford University Patrick Lauderdale University of Minnesota Steven Stublarec Boalt School of Law University of California, Berkeley Technical Report #54 Laboratory for Social Research Stanford University We gratefully acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation (Grant GS34182). 1. Problem. We usually think of status inconsistency theories as either additive or non-additive: Additive theories explain inconsistency effects as a linear combina- tion of the independent effects of inconsistent status characteristics, non-additive theories explain them as a linear combination of independent effects of inconsistent status characteristics and (or only) an effect of some sort of strain towards con- sistency. One example of a non-additive theory is Lenski's theory of status crys- tallization:1 In Lenski's theory a status inconsistent defines a social situation in terms of one or the other of two inconsistent status characteristics but not both. The definition always maximizes status. Others behave in the same way; that is, they define the situation in terms of their highest status. The consequence is always conflict, produced by the differences in the way the situation is defined. The consequence of conflict is strain, i.e. some sort of individual tension. This strain produces symptoms of stress and pressures either to withdraw from the situa- tion or change it in the direction of consistency. This model fits the available 2 data reasonably well, but a decade ago Duncan pointed out that additive models of 3 the same kind of data fit them equally well and are simpler.

  • Not in the Same Boat: How Status Inconsistency Affects Research Performance in Business Schools
    r Academy of Management Journal 2018, Vol. 61, No. 3, 1021–1049. https://doi.org/10.5465/amj.2015.0969 NOT IN THE SAME BOAT: HOW STATUS INCONSISTENCY AFFECTS RESEARCH PERFORMANCE IN BUSINESS SCHOOLS MICHAEL JENSEN University of Michigan PENGFEI WANG BI Norwegian Business School This study examines the consequences of status inconsistency for the performance of multi-unit organizations. Status inconsistency refers to the extent to which social actors occupy status positions accorded different amounts of social esteem and prestige in different social systems. Status inconsistency affects the performance of multi-unit or- ganizations by weakening the well-established positive effects of status on performance because it creates status ambiguity that makes external evaluations of the organization and its individual units more difficult. Distinguishing between high-status and low- status multi-unit organizations, we argue further that status inconsistency is par- ticularly problematic for high-status multi-unit organizations, whereas low-status multi-unit organizations may actually benefit from status inconsistency. We test our ar- guments using a longitudinal sample comprised of 109 international business schools and their finance, accounting, marketing, management, and operations departments from 2002 to 2013. Our study concludes with a discussion of the contributions our research makes to status theory and research, and the managerial relevance of our findings. Status is often defined by the hierarchical position them and how to evaluate them (Smith, 2013; Zhang, social actors occupy in a particular social system 2008). Despite the importance of status for organiza- (Gould, 2002; Jensen, Kim, & Kim, 2011), but most tions (Jensen et al., 2011), status inconsistency in social actors participate in multiple social systems organizations remains, with a few exceptions (Kang, simultaneously.

The purpose of this study is to reexamine Lenski's proposition that status inconsistency is an obstacle to participation in voluntary organizations. The reasoning behind this proposition is that people who have inconsistent, or unequally evaluated, statuses are often exposed to disturbing experiences in social interaction.

  • ABSTRACT JOHNSON, KECIA RENEE. Prison, Race and Space
    ABSTRACT JOHNSON, KECIA RENEE. Prison, Race and Space: The Impact of Incarceration on Career Trajectories and Labor Market Outcomes. (Under the Direction of Donald Tomaskovic-Devey.) There are a number of reasons to expect that incarceration will have long-term, negative consequences for economic/labor market success, and that the consequences may be especially acute for minority ex-offenders. This study replicates and extends Bruce Western’s research on the impact of incarceration for wage mobility. I integrate Western’s life course approach to examining the impact of incarceration with a discussion of stratification processes that produce inequality in employment and earnings outcomes. I hypothesize that incarceration results in career earnings penalties over and above those associated with foregone human capital accumulation. I suspect that incarceration contributes to a decline in earnings for minority ex-offenders. At the individual level, I replicate Western’s research by estimating fixed-effects models to examine wages across the career trajectories of white, Latino and African American men from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 1979-1998. When estimating these models, I test whether human capital accumulation that occurs inside or outside the labor market mediates the incarceration-earnings relationship. Furthermore, I examine how local labor market characteristics influence ex-offender career trajectories. I propose that prison records, race/ethnicity and spatial characteristics such as, violent crime rates, unemployment rates, minority concentration, and residential segregation influence the job prospects of workers within metropolitan areas. At the spatial level, I estimate random effects models to examine how local labor market characteristics shape the earnings trajectories of white, Latino and African American male ex-offenders.
