“…Subjects exposed to the high prestige model completed the maze slower than subjects exposed to the low prestige model. This finding supports prior research that has indicated increased imitation of models with higher social status (Harvey & Rutherford, 1960;Lefkowitz, Blake & Mouton, 1955).…”

“…Predictions about social status have been supported by demonstrating increased imitation of models with higher social status (Harvey & Rutherford, 1960;Lefkowitz, Blake & Mouton, 1955) and decreased imitation of models whose social status was removed Shafer, 1965). Gelfand (1962) and Mausner (1954) found increased imitation of models who demonstrated attributes and skills thought to be successful in earning material rewards and social approval.…”

“…Numerous studies have found increased imitation of models with higher social status (Harvey & Rutherford, 1960;Lefkowitz, Blake & Mouton, 1955). Increased imitation has also been found, of models demonstrating skills thought to be successful in earning rewards and social approval (Gelfand, 1962).…”

“…Increased imitation was also found of models who occupied a prestigious place in a seniority or occupational hierarchy (Bandura & Kupers, 1963;Jakubczak & Walters, 1959). Blake and Mouton (1955), in a study determining the rate of violation of a given law, found that the power of others to increase or decrease the strength of a prohibition is a function of "who the others are." When high status people were known to accept a certain law it had the effect of making the law more acceptable than if only low status people are known to conform.…”

Effect of State and Trait Anxiety and Prestige of Model on Imitation

et al. 1983

This study investigated the effects of state and trait anxiety on subjects' imitation of prestigious models. Female undergraduates were administered the Trait-anxiety scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and were then subjected either to anxiety inductions or relaxation procedures to manipulate state-anxiety levels. Four groups of 30 subjects each were obtained: high trait-high state, low trait-low state, high trait-low state, and low trait-high state. Subjects were then exposed to either a model of high prestige, one of low prestige, or a no-model condition. A visual fixation measure was taken to determine the amount of time subjects actually spent observing the model. A significant correlation was found between time spent observing the model and time taken to complete the maze. Subjects observing the model of high prestige tended to imitate the model's response style more than subjects observing one low in prestige. Highly trait-anxious subjects imitated more than low trait-anxious subjects when exposed to the model high in prestige. Since this study used only females, inferences to males should be made cautiously.

“…For example, both male and female models' intelligence was judged to be highest when dressed formally [10]. Many studies have shown that the success of compliance-gaining attempts are affected by the clothing worn by the source of the message with formal or highstatus attire resulting in more successful influence attempts [11][12][13][14][15]. Bushman [16,17] and Bickman [18] found that study participants dressed as authority figures, wearing the uniforms of fire fighters or security guards, were able to gain compliance from targets even when their request was not related to their realm of authority.…”

Clothing and Teacher Credibility: An Application of Expectancy Violations Theory

Clothing is an important aspect of communication that can influence the perceptions of wearers' credibility and attractiveness as well as a variety of other judgments. In the classroom, these perceptions are made by students about teachers and are a function of the type of behavior expected from their teachers. This paper argues that we have expectations for appropriate and inappropriate attire. Burgoon's expectancy violations theory was applied to the study of clothing and the credibility of instructors in college classes. Two instructors gave lectures in undergraduate college classes and violated or adhered to the students' expectations for appropriate attire and acted in a highly rewarding or less rewarding manner. The results do not support the U-shaped pattern predicted by expectancy violations theory, but rather, the results suggest that teachers should strive for a moderately formal clothing style. This result is qualified by the finding that students appeared to have attended to their instructors' clothing less under conditions of high reward than in the low-reward conditions. This suggests that teachers' clothing will be a less consequential determinant of the impression that their students form when the teachers are otherwise perceived as having a high instrumental value in and of themselves.
