Abstract

Several behavioral patterns aiming to prevent social status/loosing face in various social situations are discussed. Some patterns (e.g. normative conformity, self-irony) are viewed as an individual’s trials to reduce the potential dissonance that may arise among the attendees towards him/her as a result of his/her social status incompatible behavior.
