Status acuity: The ability to accurately perceive status hierarchies reduces status conflict and benefits group performance.
研究发现一种名为“地位敏锐度”的个体能力，即准确感知群体中地位等级的能力，它不同于情商和智商，能减少群体内的地位冲突，从而提升创意生成和问题解决任务的绩效。
and which has important implications for group dynamics. We find support for the existence and importance of status acuity across several studies. In Studies 1a and 1b, we develop and validate a measure of status acuity, find that it is distinct from previously studied individual abilities including emotional intelligence, cognitive intelligence, and accurate learning of social networks, and find that it predicts important individual outcomes at work. In Studies 2 and 3, we examine the effects of status acuity in face-to-face groups. As predicted, groups whose members have higher status acuity experience less status conflict, which benefits performance on creative idea-generation as well as problem-solving tasks. This work extends existing research on status and group dynamics, and contributes to our understanding of the constellation of human abilities, offering a new answer to the question: "How well does this person work in groups?"
