“…Since the literature on power and emotion is not as extensive as that of the literature on status and emotion, we focus our attention in this review on status processes. It is important to note, however, that status and power are highly interrelated (Rogalin et al 2007;Thye 2000;Thye et al 2006). Keltner et al (2003), in a review of how power influences behavior, argue that that there is a positive relationship between elevated power and the experience and expression of positive affect.…”

While leadership and emotion have been described as interrelated by many scholars in disciplines outside of sociology, there is a dearth of sociological literature on the subject. Indeed, within the last thirty years there has been an immense upsurge in the organizational literature on this very topic. While sociologists have not focused as much on leadership and emotions, there are many ways that sociologists can contribute, both empirically and theoretically. In this review our aim is to highlight the existing literatures within sociology that we feel are most valuable in exploring leadership and emotion, specifically, status and identity processes, while also engaging with the more developed literatures in organizations, focusing on the area of emotional regulation and labor.

“…There is a small but solid literature relating the multidimensional conceptualization of gendered cultural sentiments in ACT to task competence. Rogalin, Soboff, and Lovaglia (2007) pioneered this effort, looking explicitly at occupations. They developed independent measures of occupational status (worthiness and value) and occupational power (authority over others and control).…”

“…Second, activity is correlated with occupational physical requirements that are operationalized separately. Activity also has been shown to be relatively unrelated to status and performance expectations (Dippong and Kalkoff 2015, 2017; Rogalin, Soboff, and Lovaglia 2007).…”

Bridging the Gender Wage Gap: Gendered Cultural Sentiments, Sex Segregation, and Occupation-Level Wages.

The extent to which cultural beliefs about gender shape occupation-level wages remains a central yet unresolved question in the study of gender inequality. Human capital theorists predict that gendered beliefs have no direct effect on occupation-level wages. Devaluation theorists argue that occupations associated with women and femininity are systematically devalued and thus underpaid. We test these explanations using data from the American Community Survey, the Occupational Information Network, and an affect control theory (ACT) data set of affective meanings. We use the ACT data set to operationalize occupational gendered cultural sentiments along two distinct dimensions: evaluation (goodness, caring, warmth) and potency (power, strength, competence). Hierarchical linear models show that potency but not evaluation affects occupational income net of individual and occupational controls. Path analyses show that potency has a direct effect net of occupational traits. The gender composition of an occupation indirectly affects occupational income through potency. The cultural meanings of potency/competence associated with masculinity, rather than the devaluation of feminine nurturant occupations, is the primary cultural mechanism linking gender composition and occupational reward.

“…Affect control theorists argue that evaluation, potency, and activity are the underlying dimensions that guide interaction, while many sociologists consider power and status to be the “central dimensions of social interaction” (Rogalin, Soboroff, and Lovaglia 2007:205). Thus, it is not surprising that researchers have attempted to integrate the two perspectives.…”

Resolving Negative Affect and Restoring Meaning

Unwanted sexual experiences are seldom acknowledged as ''rape.'' These are identitythreatening events that cause negative affect and cognitive confusion. According to affect control theory, such events produce deflection that is resolved through restorative acts, redefinition of behavior, or modification or redefinition of identities. Since deflection reduction is an underspecified aspect of the theory, we employ theories of power dependence to better understand these processes. Using a mixed method approach, we qualitatively analyze 115 narratives about unwanted sexual experiences, finding respondents framed events in ways that protect the other person or their own self-meanings. We use closed-ended survey data to simulate women's experiences in Interact, affect control theory's predictive software, to demonstrate how event reframings reduce deflection. Finally, we estimate regressions to predict how power dependence and other relational contexts influence responses to unwanted sexual experiences.
