This is a terrific article–and just what I was hoping to find. This concept is very applicable to fiction writing (I’m a book editor), and I was hoping to find a clear and specific post on creating high- and low-status characters for the authors I work with. This is ideal–thanks!

[...] Yes, probably the biggest regret I have about growing up was not completely realizing the subtle importance of status. This article might help in figuring why you feel people treat you differently. Why do I have high or low social status? [...]

Thank you for writing this article.

My parents, teachers, church, friends, spouse, and children have helped me maintain my high status inner clock. In many group situations, I alternate my positon (basically crank it down many notches) to bring out the best in others. (paying forward, to the less confident) Doing this has helped people get to know me gradually and not send off inital bad vibes. If I find myself being taken advantage of , I raise the dial a bit and adjust in order to be most affective for the occaision. Give and Take. The changes are gradual but effective.

“Although it may seem like high status is better than low status, it isn’t. If our tendency towards one status or another is genetic, and both genotypes survived to this day, then this implies that both high and low status are effective survival strategies.”

This is flawed logic and it does not pertain to quality of life and happiness. It also ignores the increased chance of having no reproductive success if you are low status, especially if you are a low status male.

In short you are simply telling people what they want to hear, not the truth.
