Status generalization : ウィキペディア英語版 | Status generalization
Within the context of sociology, and as defined by Webster and Driskell, status generalization is "the process by which statuses of actors external to a particular interaction are imported and allowed to determine important features of that interaction." As an example, Webster and Driskell cite the tendency of white male executives to rise to leadership within a group even when their executive skills are not relevant to the group's task.〔 ==Research== Status generalization is highly researched when looking into racism, discrimination, and the stereotyping that results from this. Brezina and Winder (2003) researched whites’ racial stereotyping of blacks and the association between blacks and lower socioeconomic statuses. They found that negative racial stereotyping is fueled by the continuing association between race and economic disadvantage, that “if blacks continue to fall behind economically, then they must not be trying hard enough”.〔 The results of their research shows that the mere awareness that whites have about the relatively disadvantaged position blacks are in contributes to the negative stereotyping and thus contributes to negative status generalization when within groups. The dissertation done by Monroe illustrates how hierarchies of status are created and become legitimized. The dissertation particularly focuses on the situation in where a low status person gains legitimate authority or power in higher status positions. They theory was tested using an experiment designed to have two by two groups working on cooperative tasks. One of the pair was a confederate trying to display dominant characteristics and the reactions to the dominant behaviors served as the dependent variable in the study. Results of the study show that performance evaluation had an effect on influence and status consistency.〔Munroe, P.
