  • Modeling Status Interventions with Affect Control Theory

    Open AccessShane D Soboroff, Christopher P KelleyARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2023References: 24

    Status interventions alter task group members' expectations for the value of each other's contributions. While research shows that status interventions increase the likelihood that a higher-status actor will accept influence from a lower-status actor, the process by which interventions unfold during interaction deserves theoretical attention. By conceiving status interventions as lines of action that carry cultural meaning, sociologists can use s…

  • Group Size, Commitment, Trust, and Mutual Awareness in Task Groups

    Shane D Soboroff, Christopher P Kelley et al.ARTICLESociological Quarterly2020References: 18

    The development of social commitments has interested classical and contemporary theorists. Propositions build on earlier theory to explain how the number of members in a group may alter their commitment to the group as well as their trust and mutual awareness. A laboratory study varied group size to test hypotheses derived from the propositions. Commitment, trust, and mutual awareness were greater in groups of three or four members than in groups…

  • Social Status and the Effects of Legal Concealed Firearms on College Campuses

    Shane D Soboroff, Shane Soboroff et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…2018

    Research consistently shows that students and faculty are generally against expanding access to firearms on campus, and many stakeholders worry about the effects of campus carry laws on student violence, civility, and feelings of safety. We contribute to this literature by investigating how potential changes to campus carry policies affect students’ reported commitment to campus activities. Theories explaining fear of crime and social commitment …

  • Power, Status, and Affect Control

    Christabel L Rogalin, Shane D Soboroff et al.ARTICLESociological Focus2007Cited by: 7References: 10

    Power, status, and the evaluation, potency, and activity dimensions of affect control theory may be interrelated to a degree allowing for bridges between these theories. This paper makes two preliminary hypotheses: (1) Occupational power will significantly predict occupational status and (2) The potency of an occupation will significantly predict the power of the occupation. Two reliable scales developed from theories of power and status tap resp…
