Status incongruence theory and Barth's transactional model are combined to produce an assumption set that accounts for shipboard behaviors observed on a Hebridean fishing vessel. The standard prestations that define and maintain the role set of skipper-deckhand-cook are described. Analysis focuses (a) on the status incongruence of the cook and the predictable manner in which he copes with the situation and (b) on the effects of the observer. The observer's presence introduced an element of uncertainty into the situation and provided a reference point for the cook in his strategic interaction with other personnel on board. The main implication to be drawn from the essay is that the value of Barth's transactional model lies in the facility with which it can incorporate other theoretical approaches
