Status Differences

This chapter explores the politics of social status hierarchies in the Sahel (freeborn, “castes,” slaves) and the rich literature devoted to this theme. It looks specifically at two themes. First, the paradoxical relationship between Islam and social status stratification. The doctrinal equality of the believers before God has often been negated in practice, as “freeborn” lineages have taken over positions of Islamic leadership. But recently some religious movements (Islamism, Sufism, perhaps some jihadism as well) and social movements have challenged the hierarchy of status differences, some in words only, others in deeds as well. The second theme covers the relationship between the construction of colonial and postcolonial states and status hierarchies. Officially, in postcolonial states all citizens are equal under the law. But informally, little is done to counter practices that perpetuate status discrimination such as slavery. Also, electoral politics can both crystalize social status differences and trigger mobilization against status inequalities.

The present study examined the sociometric status of subgroups of learning disabled (LD) boys. Groups were based on differences in Verbal IQ/Performance IQ patterns on the WISC-R: V > P (n = 12); P > V (n = 26); and V = P (n = 27). Data were also available for a normal control group (n = 252). Peer nominations of popularity, rejection, and behavioral problems as well as teacher ratings of externalizing behaviors were collected for each subject. Results indicated that, relative to controls, the boys in the V = P group were most often rejected by their peers and were perceived to be more aggressive than participants in the other two LD groups. Additionally, boys in the P > V and V = P groups were significantly less popular than normal controls. In contrast, boys in the V > P group were found to exhibit few peer-relations problems. These results suggest that not all LD boys are at equal risk for peer problems, and that their pattern of scores on cognitive tests may offer insight in to factors that could account for the social status difficulties experienced by LD individuals.

Status Differences

We focus on the general issue of how and why individuals might decide if they have been victims of gender discrimination and how social status differences between women and men may change the significance of experiencing gender discrimination. Because both self-protective and situational factors have been found to influence interpretation of prejudicial events, in the present study we explore several individual-difference factors that might differentially predict perceived gender discrimination in women and men. We found that, for men, low self-esteem and high personal assertiveness were related to higher ratings of personal discrimination. Low self-esteem was also related to men's perceptions of discrimination against men as a group. For women, high need for approval was negatively related to perceptions of personal discrimination whereas depression was positively related. Depression was also related to higher ratings of discrimination against women, as was feminism. We argue that perceptions of discrimination serve different purposes for structurally privileged and disadvantaged groups.
