Abstrakt:	Our status-related behavior toward others is a function of the characteristics we perceive them to possess. Expectation states theory specifies the nature of the relationship between social characteristics and behavior, but until recently was limited to situations in which only one characteristic is perceived. This paper adds to the theory additional general assumptions from which an information-combining model is derived. This model specifies status-related behavior in multiple characteristic situations and other circumstances beyond the original scope of the theory. Comparisons of the model with other formulations provide excellent support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
