Sociology Sociological research within the expectation states paradigm has repeatedly demonstrated that status differences produce behavioral inequalities in task groups. Outside this tradition, psychological research on priming effects suggests that non-conscious processes related to the accessibility of cognitive constructs influence how actors perceive and categorize social stimuli. The extent to which such categorization processes affect status-organizing processes is unclear. In this research I experimentally examine psychological and expectation states theoretical accounts of how non-conscious information that is seemingly irrelevant to group interactions becomes relevant to the informational structure of a task situation. In phase one of the experiment, participants completed a task in which they were primed with photographs of women occupying either stereotypical or counter-stereotypical roles. In phase two, participants, along with an opposite-sex partner, completed a standardized contrast sensitivity test. The two phases were ostensibly unrelated from the participants’ point of view. The results provide new insights into the processes by which status cues present within the social environment impinge upon interaction in mixed-sex groups. 2013-04-17 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1365543123 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1365543123 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
