According to status characteristics theory, status tends to derive from one of three sources:50
1. The power a person wields over others. Because they likely control the group's resources, people who control group outcomes tend to be perceived as high status.
2.A person's ability to contribute to a group's goals. People whose contributions are critical to the group's success tend to have high status.
3. An individual's personal characteristics. Someone whose personal characteristics are positively valued by the group [good looks, intelligence, money, or a friendly personality] typically has higher status than someone with fewer valued attributes.
