Structural Inequality: Position and Power in Network Structures
The concepts of power and status as currently used are not sufficiently distinct from each other to allow such a simple formulation of the problem. Some vague notion of “position” lurking behind or within the concepts of status and power stands at the heart of any improved understanding of social inequality. An exchange relation is conceived as an interactive relation between two parties (persons or organized groups) based upon reciprocal reinfor…
Framing Social Values: An Experimental Study of Culture and Cognition
How and why does a given social value come to shape the way an individual thinks, feels, and acts in a specific social situation? This study links ideas from Goffman's frame analysis to other lines of research, proposing that dramatic narratives of variable content, vividness, and language-in-use produce variation in the accessibility of schematic, internal cultural frameworks, and, thereby, variation in the social value frames that gain situatio…
Sociological Miniaturism: Seeing the Big Through the Small in Social Psychology
The distinctive contribution of sociological social psychology can be referred to as sociological miniaturism, a way of interpreting social processes and institutions that is microsociological more than it is psychological. We argue that social psychology of this variety permits the examination of large-scale social issues by means of investigation of small-scale social situations. The power of this approach to social life is that it permits reco…
The Value of Socially Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Outcomes: An Exploration of Americans From 1974 to 1994
Stimulated by a recent exchange theory of value (Emerson, 1987; Stolte, 1998), the research reported here used archived data from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey (GSS)[1] to examine 1974–1994 trends in the value placed by Americans on socially “extrinsic” vs. “intrinsic” outcomes of exchange. The data show an increase in the value placed on socially extrinsic outcomes (specifically income) and a decrease in the value …
Cultural and Structural Determinants of Justice Reactions in the Economic Domain
We examine cultural and structural perspectives on the determination of distributive justice reactions to economic inequality. The cultural perspective emphasizes consensus and shared norms of justice acquired through uniform socialization processes. The structural perspective emphasizes variance rather than consensus; it highlights the instrumental use of justice norms to service position-based self-interest. We evaluate the two perspectives usi…

From Micro-to Macro-Exchange Structure: Measuring Power Imbalance at the Exchange Network Level
The Formation of Justice Norms
Joining ideas from structural exchange theory and symbolic interaction theory, this paper addresses two questions: (a) How does a justice norm form? and (b) Why do variations among justice norms arise? Exchange theory clarifies the objective, structural, and largely material contexts in which justice norms originate. Symbolic interaction theory illuminates the subjective, intersubjective, and mainly ideal process through which justice norms emerg…
The Legitimation of Structural Inequality: Reformulation and Test of the Self-Evaluation Argument
Why does a disadvantaged actor, as well as an advantaged actor, often accept a structure of inequality as right, reasonable, and legitimate? The self-evaluation argument proposes that variation in objective resource level produces variation in self-evaluation, which, in turn, leads both deprived and privileged actors to accept their respective positions as legitimate. The argument is clarified through a reformulation that links exchange structura…
Positional Power and Interpersonal Evaluation in Bargaining Networks
Many social exchange approaches to interpersonal stratification parallel closely the “functionalist” theory of stratification at the macro-societal level. Such approaches have been criticized by conflict theorists for overemphasizing value consensus, freedom of choice, and social integration. A social exchange approach to bargaining networks is discussed which does not neglect the conflictful aspects of micro-stratification. This formulation asse…
