Abstract

Early theories of status dynamics in small groups portrayed intragroup status as a limited resource—as the status of one group member rises, the status of another must fall. Recent theorizing presents an alternative view: that the amount of status available to group members can be variable rather than fixed. Building on this view, we theorize that the average level of intragroup status changes as a function of group performance, such that the intragroup status of an average group member is higher in groups with higher performance and lower in groups with lower performance. We further theorize that changes in group solidarity partly account for the link between group performance and intragroup status. Across three preregistered studies, we find support for these hypotheses, which we hope will kindle interest in identifying other factors that can account for changes in intragroup status equilibria.

一股水涨船高:团队绩效和团队内部地位

早期的小群体地位动力学理论将群体内部的地位描述为一种有限的资源——当一个群体成员的地位上升时，另一个群体成员的地位必然下降。最近的理论提出了另一种观点:群体成员的地位可以是可变的，而不是固定的。基于这一观点，我们将群体内部地位的平均水平作为群体绩效的函数而变化，例如，在绩效高的群体中，普通群体成员的群体内部地位较高，而在绩效低的群体中则较低。我们进一步推论，群体团结的变化部分解释了群体绩效和群体内部地位之间的联系。在三个预先登记的研究中，我们发现了对这些假设的支持，我们希望这将激发人们对确定其他因素的兴趣，这些因素可以解释群体内地位平衡的变化。
