Status

Typology

Rob Henderson:

"There are two different kinds of status: Dominance and prestige.

Dominance: Associated with narcissism, aggression, and disagreeableness. Joseph Stalin obtained status through dominance. People confer status to dominant individuals because of what dominant individuals can do to them (inflict costs—pain, humiliation, injuries, disfigurement, violence, etc.).

Prestige: Associated with stable self-esteem, social acceptance, and conscientiousness. Stephen Hawking obtained status through prestige. People confer status to prestigious individuals because of what prestigious individuals can do for them (provide benefits—teach them things, grant them access to resources, increase their status by being associated with them, etc.)."
