This insightful book explores how perceptions of social status shape the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. Taking a developmental perspective, it examines how social comparison and complex social hierarchies are intensified by modern environments, particularly through social media use. Beginning with the biology of social status across species, the book explains the mechanisms by which status influences health and how these dynamics emerge in the everyday contexts of young people’s lives, including schools, neighborhoods, and cultures. Integrating case studies with practical guidance, the text bridges anthropological, economic, developmental, and psychological research to offer meaningful strategies for minimizing the harmful effects of social hierarchies on youth health and behavior.
