Abstract The status phenomenon is a way to represent the unique existence of individuals in social situations, reflecting the social connection between individuals. There are different status for individuals in different social situations. This transformation of different status leads to the perception of status expectation, and then affects the behavior of the corresponding identity. In view of this, the current study attempted to explore what status expectation of college students and how it affected behavior choice in different social situations by three experiments. Experiment 1 investigated whether academic performance of college students affected status expectations by employing a 2 （status category： symbolic vs. specific） x 2 （academic performance： good vs. poor） within-participants design. Experiment 2 explored how job performance and interpersonal relationship interact with each other to influence status expectation by using 2 （identity category： symbolic vs. specific） x 2 （job performance： good vs. poor） x 2 （interpersonal relationship： harmony vs. apathia） within-participants design. Experiment 3 employed the within-participants design of 3 （prestige： low, general, high） x 3 （title： lecturer vs. associate professor vs. professor） to explore how status expectation affects behavior choice of college students. The results showed that academic/job performance and interpersonal relationship of college students affected status expectations; Compared with specific status, college students expected more symbolic status, and symbolic status had a greater impact on behavior choice.These results indicated that chinese college students had different status expectations in different social situations, and these status expectations influenced their behavior choice.
