Neurophysiology of pride

We speak of pride, in common parlance, as a state of sustained well-being.

 

We also associate it with status and position, like a king is de-facto a proud person.

 

But what exactly is pride in terms of the cocktail of neurotransmitters and hormones in our systems?

 

Why is not every person of equal social status equally proud?

 

Is it a mirage or something more tangible?

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks in advance.
