The term “status” originates from Latin and denotes standing in society. Status refers to valued social positions that originate from legal‐political entitlements and command of economic resources, and is accompanied by a particular lifestyle. Status thus indicates the location of individuals and groups on the social hierarchy of honor and prestige. In addition, status groups may form communities to ensure their members' interest, and for this reason may ally or come into conflict with other groups. Some sociologists have attempted to measure socioeconomic status, taking education and profession into consideration, while others have explored aspects of status crystallization, coherence, or inconsistency. Currently, status is employed to explain an array of issues ranging from achievement in education to health condition. Issues pertaining to relations between different status groups that relate to citizenship rights claims, for instance, and may denote status threat responses, remain largely unexplored
