This book presents the latest research on status generalization in a variety of settings, examining new interventions for its negative effects. Drawing from research on status processes in sociology, social psychology, education, organizations, mental health, and other fields, the book connects to several bodies of research that include stigma and stereotyping, exchange and power, and organizations. The first part of the book establishes the foundations and recent developments. Next, the book delves into elaborations, variants, and interrelations. Throughout, the book illustrates how status processes are evident in settings like school classrooms and others, where interventions can improve interaction and participation between advantaged and disadvantaged students, genders, organizational positions, races, other dynamics that may be impacted by social status and expectation. The book concludes with chapters on applications and interventions to reduce unwanted inequalities in social interactions and institutions.With its balanced, multidisciplinary approach to the challenges of social hierarchies and deep-rooted expectations, Unequals is an essential volume for all academic and scholarly readers interested in status processes and inequalities in our social lives.

This thought-provoking Handbook presents an overview of social psychology as a sub-discipline of sociology and psychology. Chapters analyse how social interactions and environments influence human behaviours and emotions, providing critical insights into identity theory, group processes, social structures, and the sociology of emotions.The Handbook of Social Psychology explores the overlap of sociological social psychology with other fields of study, such as sports, education, religion and neuropsychology. Contributing authors assess micro and macro-level processes involved in human interactions, debating the value of both quantitative and qualitative data in producing results that balance both depth and ease of analysis. Examining theoretical and methodological approaches, they address the current state of scholarship and identify potential areas for future investigation.This Handbook is essential reading for academics and researchers in sociology, psychology and communication studies, as well as those in management and political science. Professionals in the field will also benefit from its in-depth insights.
