- 요약This dissertation explores the dynamics of social hierarchies and their influence on collaborative group interactions. Despite extensive research on hierarchy in social interactions, the impact of various status dimensions on interpersonal dynamics and group outcomes is not well understood yet, partly due to the contextual nature of status. Therefore, this research investigates the effects of multiple status characteristics on individual and group-level outcomes in three distinct contexts. The research comprises three empirical chapters that utilize the Status Characteristics Theory (Berger et al., 1972) as a theoretical framework to investigate how relevant status characteristics interact to affect behavioral, physiological, and affective outcomes in dyads and groups. The first two chapters explore the impact of gender as a prominent status characteristic in combination with other contextual factors, while the third chapter examines the generalizability of the findings to other stable status characteristics beyond gender. In Chapter 1 (N = 113, 57 dyads), we analyze real-time interactions between students and peer tutors in STEM fields, examining how gender and expertise influence affective experiences and behavioral engagement during the interaction. In Chapter 2 (N = 119, 31 groups), we experimentally manipulate leadership ability and investigate its interaction with gender to assess its impact on persuasiveness in a group decision-making task. In Chapter 3 (N = 1,110, 370 groups), we move beyond gender by manipulating a status characteristic that is more generalizable: being a newcomer to a group. Specifically, we examine how being a newcomer and task-related status influence group decision-making through perceptions of competence, linguistic coordination, and utilization of unique knowledge possessed by group members. Overall, this dissertation's findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how different status characteristics combine to influence social interactions in collaborative tasks, shedding light on their effects on group outcomes. These insights have practical implications in various contexts, including workplace teams, educational settings, and other collaborative environments.
