The sociological studies concerning social stratifications have been concerned less regarding the status inconsistency and its sociopsychological consequences. The researches which have emphasized on this phenomenon have often hypothesized the linear relation between the status inconsistency and its sociopsychological
consequences only. Therefore, this study hypothesizes the relation between the above - mentioned two variables as a quadratic hyperbola. It considers a variety of sociopsychological consequences for different part of the status inconsistency range.
The methodology of this research has been social survey, with 705 samples out of the Tehrani residents. The research findings have confirmed the hypothesis of the non - linearity (being quadratic hyperbola) of the above - mentioned two variables.
