Descrição: The conception of social stratification as a composite of several rank systems suggests the possibility that different degrees of r among them may have different consequences for the collectivity. G. Simmel thought that 'reciprocal super- & subordination,' a low r among rank systems, strengthens the unity of the whole. Recent studies, on the other hand, have found that it is 'status congruence,' a high r among rank systems, which has this effect. These investigations, however, have been limited to small groups; this fact restricts their implications. When population size is large, a high r among rank systems indicates that to a high degree they are jointly crystallized into a single, comprehensive structure or class system. In contrast to status congruence in small groups, a high degree of class crystallization increases the discrepancy between the social experiences of different strata; it raises barriers to communication between them; & as a result it sharpens their cultural divergence from one another. Thus, the same factor appears to have opposite effects, depending on the size of the group.
