STATUS AND ROLES

• Ascribed status is a status assigned at birth or assumed
involuntarily later in life, often based on biological
factors, that cannot be changed through individual effort
or achievement.
• Example: birth order, sex, race, family relationships,
daughter or son, ethnicity, inherited wealth
9
• Achieved status is a status that is acquired or earned as the
result of personal accomplishment and merit, that serves as a
reflection of ability, choice, or personal effort.
Examples of Achieved Status:
• education: associate degree, bachelor’s degree, master’s
degree, or doctoral degree
• marital status: divorced, married, or single
• occupation: licensed dentist, master mechanic, professional
athlete, university professor, or working actor

❖Role defines a set of behaviors that are expected of
someone who holds a particular position or status
• Examples:
• As a father, Rudy is expected to protect his family and
to provide for their needs.
• As a teacher, Cherry is expected to five lessons, assign
homework, and prepare examinations for her
students.
11
Role Set
• Sometimes, a status has more than one role
associated with it known as role set.
• Example: As an individua, Marvin has different
roles; a son to his parents, a husband to his wife, a
father to his children, a teacher to his students, a co-
worker to his colleagues, a responsible voter, a law-
abiding citizen.

LEADERSHIP

The Role of Inf luence in Leadership

• The ability to influence is an important asset for a
leader.
• There can be no leadership without influence
because influencing is how leaders lead.
15
T YPES OF SOCIAL INFLUENCE
16
❖Compliance is when a person seems to agree and
follows what is requested or required of him or her
to do or believe in, but does not necessarily have
to really believe or agree to it.
• Example: Obeying the policeman or the traffic
enforcer in crossing the street using the pedestrian
lane.
17
❖Identification is when a person is influence by
someone he or she likes or looks up to, like a
movie star, a social celebrity, or those who are
famous and respected.
18
•Examples:
✓Amanda buys the latest model of iPhone because
her favorite celebrity endorses it.
✓Ian applies as a volunteer in the coming feeding
program organized by their barangay captain.
✓Richard joined in the anti-bullying campaign in
their school
19
❖Internalization is when a person is able to own
a certain belief or act and is willing to make it
known publicly and privately.
20
•Examples:
✓Joey saw on television a commercial about the
danger of using firecrackers. In celebrating New
Year, he used a trumpet instead.
✓Raj follows the principle of their religion.
21
As an individual, Marvin has different roles:
❑A son to his parents.
❑A husband to his wife.
❑A father to his children.
❑A teacher to his students.
❑A co-worker to his colleagues.
❑A responsible voter.
❑A law-abiding citizen.
22
• Compliance: Marvin always brings an eco-bag
every time he and his wife buy goods in the
supermarket.
• Identification: Marvin emphasizes on his students
the importance of education. He tells them his
story of success.
• Internalization: Marvin makes sure to always use
the pedestrian lane when he is crossing the street.

SELF
25
SELF-CONCEPT
26
ELEMENTS OF SELF -CONCEPT
❖Self-perception is the way in which you see yourself.
“As they grow older, teenagers broaden their people
watching. At the same time, teenagers are peering
outward at others they are also looking inward at
themselves. Consciously or subconsciously, they weigh
whether others’ thoughts, attitudes, actions, and reactions
will work for them.” (Wiener, 1999)
27
•Also, self-perception comes from your experiences.
“One of the most important beliefs that influences
your self-leadership capability is your view of your
own ability to carry out a task,” writes Manz and
Sims in their book the New SuperLeadership (2001,
p.110).
28
• For most people, self-perception plays a greater
role as they get older. Older people have learned
and practiced being open to the ideas of others;
they are okay with being wrong; they are not
attached to particular outcomes, and they have
learned how to be good listeners. (Boone, 2001)
29
❖Reflected appraisals are the messages that we get
about ourselves from other people. It is what our
parents, friends, and teachers tell us.
• Examples: You’re a good student
30
• Besides being given messages about ourselves, we
are also given lines to speak (Murial&Joneward,
1971).
• Some people refer to these lines as scripts.
31
❖Social Comparisons. We are making a social
comparison when we compare ourselves with
others to see how we measure up.
• It occurs when we learn about our abilities and
skills, the validity of our opinion, and social status.
• We compare our own attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviors to others.
32
We often compare ourselves to:
• People we know
• People we interact with
• People we read in magazines
• People we see on television
33
Example:
• Do I look as good as she does?
• What grade did you get on your exam?
• What brand of lipstick do you use?
• How can I achieve a body figure like her?
34
• Although we use social comparison in part to
develop our self-concept, it has a bigger impact on
our self-esteem.
• Individuals naturally want to have positive self-
esteem, so we frequently attempt to compare
ourselves positively with others
35
• Downward social comparison occurs when we
attempt to create a positive image of ourselves
through favorable comparisons with others who
are worse off than we are.
36
• On the other side, upward comparison may lower
our self-esteem since it will remind us that we are
not as well off as others.
• The upward comparison is useful because it can
provide information that can help us do better,
imaging ourselves as part of the group of
successful people that we want to be like, and give
us hope.
37
OUTCOME OF SOCIAL COMPARISONS
38
• When we compare negatively with others,
however, we are more likely to feel poorly about
ourselves and enjoy the activity less, and we may
even stop performing it entirely.
