When it comes time to take a bow for all this hard work, you\u2019re\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at anxious\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/anxiety\" hreflang=\"en\">anxious<\/a>\u00a0to be recognized for your efforts. Like the large groups of movie producers who scramble to the microphone after winning an Academy Award, someone needs to serve as the spokesperson for the group. Having been chosen to do the honor, you of course wish to receive the accolades. However, you wonder if you should assume a position of modesty and specifically thank everyone else rather than focus on yourself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-0\" data-slot-position=\"0\"><\/div>\n<p>Giving credit to other people for a shared effort is a strategy that itself can take some effort. The natural tendency is to see \u201ccredit\u201d as a limited resource; if you give credit to someone else, doesn\u2019t that detract from your value as a contributor? A comprehensive new study provides surprising answers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-1\" data-slot-position=\"1\"><\/div>\n<h2>Status and Insecurity<\/h2>\n<p>According to Columbia University\u2019s Maren Hoff and colleagues (2024), the \u201cVicious Cycle of Status Insecurity\u201d leads people who feel uncertain about their own regard in the eyes of others, or status, to hoard the credit when congratulations are in order. Believing in a \u201czero sum\u201d of status, those who worry about their own status think it\u2019s better to edge other people out so that they receive the majority of praise. Unfortunately, what this can do is make the status-hungry seem small and petty. This is why the process takes on a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-2\" data-slot-position=\"2\"><\/div>\n<p>Putting this in the words of the authors, \u201cThe irony is that because status insecurity reduces the likelihood of sharing one\u2019s status with others, the insecure deprive themselves of opportunities to acquire the respect and admiration they so desperately seek, potentially reinforcing their insecurity and perpetuating the vicious cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-3\" data-slot-position=\"3\"><\/div>\n<p>Now, thinking back on your own inner conflict about sharing credit for your project, be honest and ask whether you\u2019ve fallen prey to this vicious cycle mentality. Although being insecure about your status is, according to Hoff et al., a prerequisite for this kind of thinking, it seems as though it would be a natural enough tendency. However, it\u2019s even more likely to occur if you meet the criteria for status insecurity, which the authors define as being in a state of \u201cuncertainty and self-doubt,\u201d about the ability to be \u201crespected and admired in the eyes of others.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-4\" data-slot-position=\"4\"><\/div>\n<h2>Testing the Vicious Cycle of Status Insecurity<\/h2>\n<p>Starting with the premise that the insecure should be particularly prey to zero-sum thinking, the authors embarked on a series of 17 studies ranging from recollections of study participants to speeches from the reality show Survivor, including a set of experiments designed to manipulate situations that would threaten an individual\u2019s status. In all, the key dependent measure was whether a participant would share or not share credit. If people feeling insecure operate according to the zero-sum model, then they should be less likely to acknowledge the role of someone else.<\/p>\n<p>To understand what it means to experience status insecurity, see which type of situation might apply to you when you\u2019re deciding whether to share the spotlight:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upward social comparison<\/strong>: View yourself in relation to people you perceive as superior.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competence concerns<\/strong>: Worry about your own abilities and performance levels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-6\" data-slot-position=\"6\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Social disconnection:<\/strong>\u00a0Feeling that you don\u2019t belong in a group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Public failure:<\/strong>\u00a0Having your inadequacies exposed to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at Prejudice\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/bias\" hreflang=\"en\">Prejudice<\/a>\u00a0concerns:<\/strong>\u00a0Belief that you\u2019re being judged or discriminated against based on inherent features of yourself (age, race,\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at gender\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/gender\" hreflang=\"en\">gender<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at ethnicity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/race-and-ethnicity\" hreflang=\"en\">ethnicity<\/a>, social class, appearance, and health).<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-7\" data-slot-position=\"7\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Status advancement concerns<\/strong>: Uncertainty about your ability to improve your social or professional status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Infuriating environment:\u00a0<\/strong>Being treated in ways that make you feel threatened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Situation involving high stakes\/under pressure:<\/strong>\u00a0Having the outcome of a situation significantly affect your well-being, especially when placed under\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at stress\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/stress\" hreflang=\"en\">stress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Status maintenance concerns:\u00a0<\/strong>Uncertainty about losing your status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decisional concerns:\u00a0<\/strong>Worry about making the wrong choices that will lead others to criticize you.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see from this list, there are plenty of reasons for people to worry that giving credit to others will weaken their position. However, in study after study, Hoff et al. found that status sharing enhanced, rather than detracted from, an individual\u2019s own status while also improving the status of those who are acknowledged. As the authors note, the \u201cstatus pie\u201d expands when both status giver and recipient are given recognition.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Be a Spotlight Sharer<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know it\u2019s better to give, while also receiving, the question is how to enact this strategy. First, take a look again at all those conditions that can create\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at fear\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/fear\" hreflang=\"en\">fear<\/a>\u00a0and insecurity about acknowledging someone else. How many times did you lose sleep over a competitive situation that you believed would lead to your loss of face, if not employment? Go back and check off the various sources of insecurity that drove you to that cyclical mentality. Is there a way, in the future, you could let those feelings go?<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-10\" data-slot-position=\"10\"><\/div>\n<p>The authors suggest that what\u2019s needed to overcome the zero-sum mentality is to adopt a \u201cgrowth pie mindset.\u201d They cite the example of Sir Dave Brailsford, knighted for his role in the United Kingdom\u2019s accomplishments in team cycling. Rather than pretend that he was the \u201cme\u201d in \u201cteam,\u201d he generously shared credit with all of his fellow cyclers. As the authors noted, \u201cLike this cycling legend, we can create a virtuous cycle of status security by acknowledging the unique contributions of each team member.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"markup-replacement-slot markup-replacement-slot-11\" data-slot-position=\"11\"><\/div>\n<p>After you catalog all your own sources of status insecurity, don\u2019t stop there. The next time something good happens to you as part of a group effort, try congratulating the others on your own team, even if every so slightly. To your surprise, you might find the other person returning the favor. That\u2019s your growth pie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To sum up<\/strong>, feeling worried about getting credit for your hard work is a natural experience. Turning that worry to\u00a0<a class=\"basics-link\" title=\"Psychology Today looks at generosity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/altruism\" hreflang=\"en\">generosity<\/a>\u00a0can only serve to benefit your own fulfillment, and those of the others equally deserving of that credit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KEY POINTS Giving credit to others after a group effort may seem like a sure way to lose your own well-deserved status.
