What Is the Relationship between Socioemotional Behavior and Status in Task Groups?

Ridgeway, Cecilia; Johnson, Cathryn

American Journal of Sociology, v95 n5 p1189-1212 Mar 1990

Analyzes the way task proceedings engender emotional reactions, the conditions under which these are expressed in positive and negative socioemotional behavior, and the effect of such behavior on the status hierarchy in informal task groups. Suggests that the expression of socioemotional behavior in task groups is deeply intertwined with the status hierarchy of the groups. (Author/SLM)
