Another face of status is the concept of "social stimulus value," which basically means how positively others respond and evaluate you. Social stimulus value could be a measure of "bottom up" status granted by others, as opposed to "top down" status claimed by oneself, and it seems to be consistent.. The introduction to this study talks more about social stimulus value.

Interesting, thanks. This is behind a paywall so I'll defer closer examination for the time being, do you have more information? Does "social stimulus value" include things such as physical attractiveness?
