Answer to Question 1

According to status characteristics theory, status tends to derive from one of three sources:
1. The power a person wields over others. Because they likely control the group's resources, people who control the outcomes tend to be perceived as high status.
2. A person's ability to contribute to a group's goals. People whose contributions are critical to the group's success tend to have high status.
3. An individual's personal characteristics. Someone whose personal characteristics are positively valued by the group (good looks, intelligence, money, or a friendly personality) typically has higher status than someone with fewer valued attributes.
