Book Description
Comprises 16 essays stemming from the work of the sociology department at Stanford U. in studying invariant social processes. As the study of these processes requires the construction of abstract, general theory, the articles concentrate on methods of developing such theories and applying them to the examination of status on the one hand, and power and legitimacy on the other. After a five-article general discussion of strategies of theory construction, two final sections treat such topics as: the formation of reward expectations; the role of status cues in interaction; the evolution of status expectations; the application of status characteristics theory to male-female interactions; the effect of expectations on power; the legitimation of power and its effect on the stability of authority; and legitimation under conditions of dissensus.
