Awards: A strategic management perspective (2016, methodology): “These studies suggest that social status as such is a valuable good; individuals are even willing to incur costs to attain it (e.g., Eckel and Ball, 1996; Huberman et al., 2004; for the current state of research, see Charness, Masclet, and Villeval, 2014).”
Academic honors and performance (2014, background): “As has been shown, individuals value status and are willing to give up financial gain to obtain it (Huberman et al., 2004).”
THE DOWNFALL OF EXTRAVERTS AND RISE OF NEUROTICS: THE DYNAMIC PROCESS OF STATUS ALLOCATION IN TASK GROUPS (2013, result): “Our work also suggests that these dynamics are not necessarily due to individuals’ proactive status seeking and maintenance efforts, as has been suggested by other scholarship working in this nascent area (e.g., Bendersky & Shah, 2012; Huberman et al., 2004; Pettit et al., 2010).”
Awards as Compensation (2007, background): “Huberman et al. (2004) show experimentally that people value status independently of any monetary consequence and are indeed willing to incur material costs to obtain it.”
Digital Footprints: Opportunities and Challenges for Online Social Research (2014, background): “Online experiments confirm that individuals are willing to exchange monetary compensation for praise and attention from peers, even when it is artificial (Huberman et al. 2004).”
Groups Reward Individual Sacrifice: The Status Solution to the Collective Action Problem (2009, background): “The solution I propose considers status in the group as an implicit, selective incentive.”
Reputation and Status as Motives for War (2014, background): “Other avenues of research might draw on the considerable gender-related (Huberman et al. 2004) or age-related (Sellers et al. 2007) variation in status-seeking behavior, or divergences between a leader’s personal status and that of the state.”
Crowdsourcing, attention and productivity (2008, neutral): “As it has been shown, attention is such a valued resource that people are often willing to forsake financial gain to obtain it [6].”
Status Conflict in Groups (2012, background): “People also derive inherent value from social esteem (Gould 2003, Huberman et al. 2004).”
The Impact of Firm Prestige on Executive Compensation (2017, background): “Huberman et al. (2004) conduct an experiment in which they show that individuals are willing to give up monetary rewards for being celebrated as a “winner,” even though they have no monetary or other benefit from their winner-status within the experiment or outside.”
To Disclose or Not to Disclose? Status Distance and Self-Disclosure in Diverse Environments (2009, background): “As mentioned in the prior section on disclosure of confirming information, when individuals with high ascribed status characteristics disclose status-confirming personal information to others of dissimilar ascribed status, they may further enhance their own status (Huberman et al., 2004).”
