This study introduces the setting phenotype to classify behavior settings by function, enhancing Barker's theory. Four phenotypes were identified in self-help groups, linking setting type to member change.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Social Psychology
  • Environmental Psychology

Background:

  • Behavior setting theory, while influential, has limited impact in general psychology.
  • Classification of behavior settings traditionally relies on structural aspects (genotype).
  • A functional/behavioral classification (phenotype) is proposed to expand the theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the setting phenotype construct.
  • To classify behavior settings based on functional/behavioral aspects.
  • To assess the relevance of the phenotype construct for social scientists.

Main Methods:

  • Collected behavioral data from 510 meetings of 13 self-help groups.
  • Utilized cluster analysis to identify behavioral patterns.

  • Examined the relationship between setting phenotype, setting characteristics, and member change.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified four distinct setting phenotypes: personal, impersonal, small talk, and advising.
    • Found that mutual help group phenotype relates to specific setting characteristics.
    • Demonstrated a link between setting phenotype and overall rated change in group members.

    Conclusions:

    • The setting phenotype offers a functional approach to classifying behavior settings.
    • This construct can increase the relevance of behavior setting theory for social scientists.
    • Phenotype classification provides insights into group dynamics and member outcomes.
