Abstract：
In multiple studies, we found that people who are viewed as possessing a stronger desire for status are, ironically, afforded lower status by others. Coworkers who were viewed as having a higher (versus lower) desire for status (Study 1a and 1b), and individuals who were described as having a higher desire for status (versus a lower desire for status or no information), were afforded lower status (Studies 2, 3a, and 3b). Mediation analyses and an experimental manipulation of the mediator (Study 3a and 3b) suggested that the observed negative effect of desire for status on status was mediated primarily by perceptions of low prosociality. These findings have important implications for status organizing processes in groups.
摘要：
在多项研究中,我们发现，那些被认为对地位有更强烈渴望的人，讽刺的是,被别人给予较低的地位。被视为对地位有较高(相对于较低)渴望的同事(研究1a和1b)，以及被描述为对地位有更高欲望的人（而对地位或没有信息的欲望较低），提供了较低的地位(研究2，3a，和3b）。中介分析和对中介者的实验操作（研究3a和3b）表明，观察到的对地位的渴望对地位的负面影响主要是由对低亲社会的看法介导的。这些发现对群体中的状态组织过程具有重要意义。
