ICTChris Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I saw a table from a recent paper about what are considered high and low status criteria. The paper includes the following table with actions or traits that are considered most high status and low status. Being an intelligent, trusted member of a group who has been accepted into a prestigious university makes someone the most high status. Being a stupid, dirty thief is the lowest status. Find it interesting that being kind is high status, while being mean or nasty to others is low status. What activities and traits do P&Bers think are high and low status? What specific activities on P&B do you consider high and low status? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 19 minutes ago, Dons_1988 said: Does this count if I’m exercising? Good question. Obviously at one end of the spectrum you've got sponsored athletes or uniformed teams who can obviously claim an exemption. At the other end you've got orange duck faces going to the gym long enough to film a tik tok on the treadmill. Sounds like a referral to the status monitoring board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
