“…Social stratification can be found to varying degrees wherever humans congregate (Barkow, 1989;Hogan, 1983;Hogan & Hogan, 1991). For example, social hierarchies form rapidly in leaderless group discussions (Bass, 1954), possibly even at first glance (Kalma, 1991). Hierarchy formation has been documented in the free play of children (Hawley, 1999); in the social ecologies of early, middle, and late adolescents (Fournier, 2009); and in the fraternities, sororities, and dormitories of both male and female university students (Anderson et al, 2001;Harms et al, 2007).…”

We examined how self-determination, the subjective experience of one's behavior as internally initiated and personally endorsed, depends on one's standing in real-world social hierarchies. We predicted that those with the traits most relevant to status attainment would be those afforded the most opportunities to be self-determining. We examined the trait of physical attractiveness, given its documented association with social status and no known association with self-determination. First-year undergraduates living in same-sex residences rated their housemates' social status, while an independent set of observers rated the participants' physical attractiveness. Consistent with prediction, physically attractive individuals attained the highest levels of social status; in turn, those who attained the highest levels of social status experienced the highest levels of self-determination. These findings provide new insights into self-determination as an inherently relational phenomenon and specifically highlight the formative influence of social status on people's capacities for self-determination.

Pre‐emptive game behaviour and the emergence of leadership

The investigation considers the relationship between pre‐emptive behaviour in the mixed‐motive experimental game known as Leader, and the emergence of leadership roles in small groups. Forty male and 45 female subjects each played 100 trials of the Leader game against a non‐contingent other, before subsequently interacting in five‐person, sexually homogeneous groups engaged upon a number of mixed‐motive tasks. A relationship was established between pre‐emptive play in the game situation and nominations for leadership roles in the groups. Specifically, male task leaders were characterized by low levels of pre‐emption and female task leaders by high rates of pre‐emption. The results are interpreted within the context of differential structuring in male and female groups, with a more authoritarian rigidly defined role system in the former case. The investigation points not only to the potential usefulness of game pre‐emption as a leadership measure, but also to the links between behaviour in laboratory games and other less strictly controlled interaction settings.
