STATUS
Position in a social system is called status
, such as child or parent (Linton, 1936).
Status is a position in the general institutional
system, recognized and supported by the
entire society spontaneously evolved rather
than deliberately created, rooted in the
folkways and mores (Kingsley Davis).
Status refers to what a person is.
STATUS
Any position recognized
position assigned by the
society to its members
is called status.
STATUS SET
A status set is a collection of
social statuses that an individual
holds. A person may
have status of a daughter, wife,
mother, student, worker, church
member and a citizen. The term
"status set" was coined by
Robert K. Merton in 1957
MASTER STATUS
•
In sociology, the master status is the social
position that is the primary identifying
characteristic of an individual. The
term master status is defined as "a status that
has exceptional importance for social identity,
often shaping a person's entire life." Master
status can be ascribed or achieved.
MASTER STATUS

ACHIEVED STATUS
The statuses about which the
person has some choice,
however much or little, are
achieved statuses.
Any position achieved by
the individuals in the
society is called Achieved
status.
ACHIEVED STATUS
The traditional societies
stressed the Ascribed status
whereas the modern and
civilized societies mainly based
on the Achieved Status.
EXAMPLES OF ACHIEVED STATUS
DOCTOR
ENGINEER
PROFESSOR
BUSNIESSMEN
ACCOUNTANT
ACHIEVED STATUS
ROEL CONFLICT
Role conflict results from the
competing demands of two or more
roles than via for our time and energy.
the more statuses we have, and the
more roles we take on, the more likely
we are to experience role conflict.
There was a conflict between his
roles as a family member and
official at a time is the result of
role
ROEL CONFLICT
ROLE STRAIN
• Role strain occurs when we have trouble
meeting the social roles expected of us.
People can also experience both role conflict
(when two roles have demands that are
mutually exclusive) and role overload (when
one doesn't have the resources to meet the
demands of multiple roles)
Thank you
