Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

17
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

34.0K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

31.5K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

9.4K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

22.1K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.4K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Area of Science:

  • Complex Systems Science
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Social Systems Analysis

Background:

  • Emergence, the development of complex patterns from simpler interactions, is crucial for understanding group dynamics.
  • Jeffrey A. Goldstein's foundational work provides a framework for studying emergence formally.
  • Existing research often lacks a unified approach to emergence across different scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and extend Jeffrey A. Goldstein's contributions to the formal understanding of emergence.
  • To explore the application of emergence principles across various complex systems.
  • To highlight diverse methodologies for studying emergent phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Agent-based modeling for simulating complex interactions.
  • Qualitative analysis of business and governmental reports for real-world insights.
  • Structured analysis of team discussions to understand micro-level emergence.
  • Nonlinear statistical analysis of time series data for macro-level pattern detection.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated emergence as a formal process applicable to work teams, organizations, and societal structures.
  • Validated the utility of agent-based modeling and qualitative analysis in studying emergence.
  • Provided evidence for nonlinear dynamics in organizational and social systems.

Conclusions:

  • Emergence offers a powerful lens for analyzing complex systems, from teams to societies.
  • Interdisciplinary methodologies are essential for a comprehensive understanding of emergent processes.
  • Further research should integrate diverse methods to capture the multifaceted nature of emergence.
