Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

17.2K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methodology
  • Social Sciences Research Methods

Background:

  • Selecting appropriate research methodology is crucial for rigorous qualitative studies.
  • Grounded theory (GT) encompasses diverse approaches with distinct philosophical underpinnings.
  • Navigating these variations can be challenging for researchers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and contrast three prominent grounded theory approaches: Glaserian, Straussian, and constructivist.
  • To highlight key distinguishing characteristics of each approach to inform methodological selection.
  • To provide a systematic analysis aiding researchers in choosing the most suitable GT method.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review to identify distinguishing characteristics of GT approaches.
  • Comparative analysis focusing on historical development, philosophical perspective, researcher's role, data analysis, and theoretical outcomes.
  • Identification of key criteria for methodological selection.

Main Results:

  • Detailed comparison of classic Glaserian, Straussian, and constructivist grounded theory.
  • Identification of significant differences in philosophical assumptions and methodological implementation.
  • Proposed selection criteria: purpose, philosophy, and pragmatics.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the nuances between grounded theory approaches enhances methodological transparency.
  • Informed selection of a grounded theory approach aligns with researcher's philosophy and study pragmatics.
  • This comparative analysis supports more deliberate and effective application of grounded theory.
