A social biographical approach and a perspective taking in the whole course of one's life can contribute to progress in status inconsistency research. The consideration of the dynamics of status inconsistency and checks on status change over time are important theoretical and methodological preconditions. Using them, the detailed study of the occurrence, disappearance, duration und consequences of inconsistency becomes possible. The empirical findings of this article show that the ranking of individuals in one particular status hierarchy over the course of their lives corresponds increasingly with the individual's ranking in other status hierarchies. This correlation has increased in more recent birth cohorts. Women are more likely to be found in unfavorable positions within status hierarchies than men. Status inconsistency has distinct effects on the occupational mobility of male employees. An unfavorable status position, compared to educational achievement, provides strong incentives for mobility. Men with unexpected status attainment, on the other hand, attempt to secure their status situation; they are more likely to be immobile.
