A model of behavior in Berger's standard experiment
TLDR
In this paper, a simple model is presented, which orders the empirical results of eight experiments (27 conditions) on status-undifferentiated dyads in this situation, and makes additional predictions.Abstract:
Berger has developed a standard experimental situation for the study of influence processes in dyads. A simple model is presented’ which orders the empirical results of eight experiments (27 conditions) on status‐undifferentiated dyads in this situation. The model provides a good fit to the data and makes additional predictions.read more

Incipient Status in Small Groups
Eugene A. Rosa,Allan Mazur +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that the first speaker in the Bales group usually emerges as highest in the hierarchy and that people use subtle cues, obtained during the first few seconds of interaction, to rank themselves in the status hierarchy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological aspects of communication via mutual gaze.
TL;DR: The first experiment reported here shows that mutual gaze does indeed cause more physiological arousal than control conditions of nonmutual gaze and demonstrates that an actor can communicate with another person by gazing in such a manner that he can manipulate that person's physiology.

Extending Expectation States Theory: Comparative Status Models of Participation in N Person Groups
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed some ideas consistent with expectation states theory about how status affects participation in status differentiated task groups larger than the dyad, and tested the theoretical expectations using Caudill's data on participation in the daily administrative conferences of a psychiatric hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status Inconsistency and Gender Combining Revisited
Joachim Schneider,Karen S. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of gender and specific task ability on influence in social influence in task-oriented groups and found that subjects incorporated expectations based on both their ability and gender in making their decisions.

Status Characteristics and Social Interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the small groups literature on status organizing processes in decision-making groups whose members differ in external status, and show that status characteristics such as age, sex, and race determine the distribution of participation, influence, and prestige among members of such groups.

Performance Expectations and Behavior in Small Groups
Joseph Berger,Thomas L. Conner +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that those who initiated activity most frequently also received activity more frequently and tended to be ranked highest by group members on the criteria of who had the best ideas, who guided the group discussion, and who demonstrated leadership.

Eliminating Status Generalization
Lee Freese,Bernard P. Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a social psychological theory is presented which shows that this generalization effect can be arrested if actors are simultaneously discriminated by performance attributes which contradict expectations associated with the status characteristic.

Consistent and inconsistent status characteristics and the determination of power and prestige orders.
Joseph Berger,M. Hamit Fisek +1 more
TL;DR: Two alternative mechanisms are formulated-a "balancing" mechanism and a "combining" mechanism-which may be operating in multi-characteristic task situations and the results of an experiment specifically designed to discriminate between these mechanisms are reported.

Conditions for Status Equality in Informal Task Groups
TL;DR: This article showed that the status generalization effect can be inverted when group members are exposed to an increasing number of status unequals who are not group members but who possess additional discriminating characteristics which contradict status expectations and are similar, but not explicitly relevant, to group tasks.
