Urijah · Answer 1

All of these socially defined positions constitute a "status set".

A status set is a gathering of social statuses that an individual has. A man may have status of a son, baptist, father, trainee, specialist and a national. The expression "status set" was conceived by Robert K. Merton in 1957. He made a distinction between a "role set" and a "status set".

Amara Joseph · Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Status set

Status set refers to a collection of social status that an individual held. For most people, one person usually held more than one social since we tend to interact with various/different social groups in our life. (for example, if you are still in high school but start to compete in a pro mma competition, you held the status set as both a student and an athlete)
