This volume contains seven theoretical analyses, reviews, and theory-based empirical essays on group phenomena. Researchers from Europe, North America, and China address social status and its effects, particularly the nature of status inequality, double standards for competence, and the status effects of gender; issues related to identity and its effects, namely the role of intragroup communication in social categorization, uncertainty, and identity processes and whether self-stigmatization impacts the everyday interactions of people with mental health disorders; the problem of social cooperation; and the effects of authority leniency on subordinate entitlements in the workplace.
