Females' desire for status cannot be measured using male definitions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 1999
Abstract
The development of physical traits and the formation of alliances are two important means of attaining status for both sexes. The types of physical traits and alliances that are linked with status, however, differ for the two sexes. Sex differences in the characteristics that lead to the acquisition of status must be considered before concluding that females are less concerned than males with status.
