Consistent and Inconsistent Social Characteristics and the Determination of Power and Prestige Orders

The work reported here was significant in the generalization of the first theory of status characteristics and expectation states (Technical Report #12 and Berger et al., 1966). The first theory could only account for status generalization from a single characteristic; this paper reports experimental results for two status characteristics. Experimental data showed that the characteristics combined, which was incorporated in the theoretical extension to two characteristics published by Berger et al. (1974)

Multi-Characteristic Status Situations and the Determination of Power and Prestige Order

This technical report builds on the research reported in Technical Report 32. It reports a second experiment investigating how two status characteristics affect expectations and power and prestige. The theoretical goal was to further compare predictions based on combining all status information and predictions based on "balancing" or ignoring some information. The combining assumption was later incorporated in the general theory

Participation in Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Groups: A Theoretical Integration

The authors define a behavior interchange pattern that can affect performance expectation states and behavior. This WP was published by the authors (1991)

Status Characteristics and Expectation States: A Priori Model Parameters and Test

The authors theoretically derive f(i) parameter values for use in calculating relative expectations (ep – eo) in the graph model of the theory of status characteristics and expectation states. This WP was published by the authors (1992)

ATA50 TELESCOPE: HARDWARE

ATA50 Telescope is a new telescope with RC optics and 50 cm diameter. It was supported by Atat&uuml;rk University Scientific Research Project (2010) and established at about 2000 meters altitude in city of Erzurum in Turkey last year. The observations were started a few months ago under the direction and control of Atat&uuml;rk University Astrophysics Research and Application Center (ATASAM). The technical properties and infrastructures of ATA50 Telescope are presented and we have been working on the robotic automation of the telescope as hardware and software in order to be a ready-on-demand candidate for both national and international telescope networks.</p
