Abstract

The chapter examines the literature and demonstrates that status is a relational term, supportive of social relations that are constructed on basis of both social norms and social interests, and thus subject to manipulation. In this view, status relations, defined as a social mechanism that is more stable and consistent overtime than many other social relations and conditions (e.g., social relations based on reputation), are still possible to shape on basis of strategic and tactic interests. The chapter examines how status beliefs can be manipulated in both laboratory experiments and in social settings, and thus shape preferences and outcomes.
