Some social statusstatus es are mutually exclusive, like military or civilian, laicos or religious, noble or commoner. Other statuses are not mutually exclusive, but contextual.

Expert subject Sociology date November 2008 Master status is a sociological term used to denote the social position , which is the primary identifying Character structure characteristic of an individual. The master status, whether Ascribedstatusascribed or Achieved status achieved , overshadows all other social positions of the status set in most or all situations. The term was coined in the 1940s by Everett Hughes . The master status is often the most important constituent in the architecture of an individual s identity. Common master statuses are those of Race classification of human beings race or ethnicity , sex , sexual orientation , physical ability, Ageing age , Socioeconomics economic standing, religion or spirituality , and education . Others include that of being a parent , child , or sibling being employed or unemployed and being disability disabled or Mental illness mentally ill . In perception, an individual s master status supersedes his other identifying traits for example, if a woman feels that her role as a mother is more important than her role as a woman, a daughter, a wife, an American, and a novelist, she is more likely to label herself first as a mother and to identify with other women who label themselves as such. Unlike other aspects of the status set, the master status affects how the individual behaves in almost every given situation. References Gordon Marshall, ed., A Dictionary of Sociology 2nd ed.

Refimprove date October 2007 Status attainment or status attainment theory is a concept of sociology . It deals largely with one s position in society, or class.
