For the purpose of evaluating status in a manner free from the deficiencies of popularity
contest procedures, this paper presents a new method of computation which takes into
account who chooses as well as how many choose. It is necessary to introduce, in this
connection, the concept of attenuation in influence transmitted through intermediaries.
