    Status Shapes Person Perception and Evaluation: A Social Neuroscience Perspective

    Uploaded by

    Christian Cajandab Mejia
    This article discusses how social status shapes perceptions of others from a neuroscience perspective. It reviews literature on how social hierarchies impact everyday life and perception in non-human primates, social behavior research, and brain imaging studies. The researchers explore the determinants of social status, how status is acquired, and the dimensions that confer status onto others. They also discuss the consequences of perceived status on how people attend to and evaluate others. The article emphasizes the need to consider multiple social status dimensions, rather than just dominance or wealth, to fully understand the impact of social status on social cognition.

    Nowadays, as the society continually develops, a lot of issues have become social

    concerns. One of which is on social status. Thus it interests me to read on a research


    article by Bradley D. Mattan, Jennifer T. Kubota, & Jasmin Cloutier, entitled How Social
    Status Shapes Person Perception and Evaluation: A Social Neuroscience Perspective.
    This article deals with how social status or hierarchies create profound impact on
    everyday life, particularly in how we perceive others. This article integrates literature and
    tackles methods for better understanding of the construct, social status, in the perspective
    of Neuroscience. Initially, the researchers surveyed on the impact of social status on persons
    perception on non-human primate, social-behavioral, and brain-imaging literatures. Then

    Specifically, we review some of the theorized determinants of social status in non-human and human
    primates. In doing so, we emphasize the distinction between how status is acquired by social agents (i.e.,
    strategic pathways to increase status) and the social dimensions conferring status on perceived social
    targets (i.e., status dimensions). We subsequently review some of the consequences of perceived status
    for how we attend to and evaluate others. In the course of this SOCIAL STATUS AND PERSON PERCEPTION
    5 review, we suggest that placing disproportionate importance on social status inferred from a single
    social dimension (e.g., dominance, competence, or wealth) can distort our understanding of the impact
    of social status on social cognition. Integrating research from different levels of inquiry (e.g., from non-
    human primates to human neuroimaging), we emphasize the importance of considering alternative social
    status dimensions (e.g., morality), in addition to the more frequently studied dimensions (e.g., dominance
    or finances).
