In a study using the 'matched-guise' technique, it was predicted that an RP speaker would be evaluated higher by young English adolescents than a Welsh accented speaker on status traits whereas the reverse would be true on solidarity traits. It was further predicted that the evaluative pattern would be accentuated for the RP speaker in a formal (school) context and for the Welsh speaker in an informal (youth club) setting. Results showed that the RP speaker was upgraded on some status traits relative to the Welsh speaker and this was indeed enhanced significantly in the formal situation.
