Recognition (sociology)
Recognition in sociology is public acknowledgement of person's status or merits (achievements, virtues, service, etc.). In the field of psychology, it is understood that a person who seeks excessive recognition could themselves be exhibiting traits of a narcissistic personality disorder.
When some person is recognized, he or she is accorded some special status, such as title or classification.
