Purpose Identifies where status and identity processes converge in social interaction and when one process may become more consequential than the other. Methodology/approach Drawing upon existing experimental data, we illustrate how affect control theory and status characteristics theory make seemingly contradictory predictions in certain limited interactions and propose a theoretical framework to potentially reconcile these differences. Findings Three pivot points are identified at which status and identity processes meet and then one of the processes more strongly predicts interaction outcomes. Research limitations/implications The chapter represents a starting point for future research examining situations where status and identity processes converge. Originality/value We suggest ways to empirically test related claims made by both theories in an array of circumstances.
