- Master status when and individual accepts a particular label that has been applied to them by members of the wider society, the label becomes a master status that influences both the behaviour of the individual and the reaction of others
- A dominant status (or identity) that overrides allotter aspects of that person's status or identity
- Self-fulfilling prophecy when an individual accepts the label that has been given to them by others and acts accordingly
- Negotiation (Herbert Blumer) The process by which an individual changes the reaction of others or shapes their own role
