Abstract Are groups ever capable of bearing responsibility, over and above their individual members? This chapter discusses and defends the view that certain organized collectives—namely, those that qualify as group moral agents—can be held responsible for their actions, and that group responsibility is not reducible to individual ...

Group defence and the predator’s functional response
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2012We derive from first principles the functional response of the predator and the reproduction rate of the prey in the case that the prey form groups as a defence against the predator and the latter captures only single prey. We also give some examples of the resulting predator-prey population dynamics.

LIST AND PETTIT ON GROUP AGENCY AND GROUP RESPONSIBILITY
University of Toronto Law Journal, 2014Criminal liability for corporations may seem quixotic insofar as corporations appear neither to have the same cognitive capacities as individuals, nor to be capable of acting except through the efforts of the individuals who constitute them. One way of clarifying the basis of corporate criminal liability is to consider whether and how corporations ...

Group Agents and Their Responsibility
The Journal of Ethics, 2016Group agents are able to act but are not literally agents. Some group agents, e.g., we-mode groups and corporations, can, however, be regarded as functional group agents that do not have “intrinsic” mental states and phenomenal features comparable to what their individual members on biological and psychological grounds have.

AbstractThe main idea about group responsibility is that we-mode groups, namely, groups in which a substantial number of the members are collectively committed to the group (to its ethos and to each other concerning ethos promotion), are normatively responsible—in a control-based sense of responsibility—for their actions and for what their members ...

GROUP DIFFERENCES IN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC RESPONSE
American Journal of Psychiatry, 1953Group differences between psychotics and normals, males and females, were found in 40 subjects in one area of heart action. "Pleasant" word stimuli distinguished the psychotics, whereas a startle stimulus distinguished the sexes.

Crisis: Group Response to Emergency
Journal of Communication, 1971This descriptive and exploratory paper has as its objective the analysis of group interaction during a crisis and the generation of hypotheses about crisis interaction. Hypotheses are suggested in the areas of verbal and nonverbal interaction, leadership style and fluctuation, and the volume of task and process communication.

Group Response‐Adaptive Randomization With Delayed and Missing Responses
Statistics in MedicineABSTRACTResponse‐adaptive randomization (RAR) procedures have been extensively studied in the literature, but most of the procedures rely on updating the randomization after each response, which is impractical in many clinical trials. In this article, we propose a new family of RAR procedures that dynamically update based on the responses of a group of

Multinomially Grouped Response Times for the Quantal Response Bioassay
Biometrics, 1958where x and t are the values of the dose and time metameters and y is say the logit of the response at that dose and time and where in some cases a may be assumed to be zero. Since the response numbers are accumulated for the successive times within a dose, the observed y values are not independent within doses. This introduces some complexity into the

Group instability and the social response to methamphetamine
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1974Abstract The effects of methamphetamine on body contact and social distances in stable (familiar) and unstable (unfamiliar) groups of rats were investigated. Although there was no difference in body contact in the stable and unstable saline groups, methamphetamine reduced body contact significantly more in the unstable group than it did for its ...
