People of higher status:
- have greater freedom of conduct in conflict.
- less often use soft settlement and soft confrontation.
Status and soft clearance
Soft clearance is characteristic and considered mandatory for people with medium or low status. High-status individuals either stay in normal relationships for a long time, as if ignoring conflict messages, or go straight to confrontation (soft or hard), punishing the partner rather than entering into conflict with him.
Watch a fragment from the film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”: Gosha reacts quite harshly, in fact skipping the stage of soft settlement and quickly turning to confrontation. But this is precisely what causes respect among women, and it is this rigidity (internal rigidity, with external restraint) that makes him a status man.
Status and soft confrontation
In a conflict, soft confrontation is appropriate with people approximately equal to you in status and power. With people of significantly lower status and power, if there are no pedagogical tasks, it is possible to simply punish (negative reinforcement).
With people of substantially higher status and power, your mild confrontation can be easily ignored or punished for it.
