Affect Control Theory (ACT) can predict the average deference that occupational identities receive from others. These “deference scores” can capture occupational status better than previous operationalizations of prestige. Combining this new measurement of occupational status with social network methods, this article explores the underlying relational patterns hidden within Freeland and Hoey’s (2018) scores of average deference. I construct a complete network of deference relations across 303 occupational identities using Bayesian ACT simulations. A blockmodel analysis of this network resulted in four positions within the occupational deference structure: everyday specialists, service-to-society occupations, the disagreeably powerful, and the actively revered. These are occupational classes that defer to the same occupational identities and receive deference from the same occupations. Exploring the reduced blockmodel provides a more complete depiction of the occupational status structure as measured by ACT.

职业地位群体的社会心理学：尊重结构中的关系

情感控制理论（ACT）可以预测职业身份从他人那里得到的平均尊重。这些“尊敬分数”可以比以前的声望操作更好地捕捉职业状况。将这种对职业状况的新衡量方法与社交网络方法相结合，本文探索了Freeland和Hoey（2018）的平均尊重分数中隐藏的潜在关系模式。我使用贝叶斯ACT模拟构建了一个包含303个职业身份的尊敬关系的完整网络。对这个网络的模块模型分析在职业尊敬结构中产生了四个职位：日常专家，服务于社会的职业，令人难以置信的强大和积极受人尊敬的人。这些职业类别遵循相同的职业身份，并且受到相同职业的尊重。探索简化的模块模型可以更完整地描述ACT所测量的职业状态结构。
