On social groups and relations

Mathematical Social Sciences, 1983
A group of people is divided (1) into n fundamental groups and (2) into 2n attitude classes, the members of each class accepting just those belonging to a particular set of fundamental groups. Cohesiveness of the n·2n resulting classes, compatibility relations among them, and inextensible (maximal) cohesive sets are studied.

Social groups, nonsense groups and group polarization

1984
The most recent, and with any luck the final, great fling in the experimental tradition of small group research was the study of group decision making which started in the United States as the risky shift and was then transformed in Europe into group polarization. Twenty or so years after Stoner's (1961) first investigation seems an appropriate time at

Social Groups and Social Stereotypes

1997
A series of studies by Taylor and Simard (1975) demonstrated that cross-cultural communication can be, in objective terms, as effective as within-group communication. We should ask then, why this is not always the case, and subjectively too. A major part of the answer, we believe, lies in the role played by stereotypes. We therefore consider the nature

Social Interaction and Social Groups

2008
This chapter presents drug misuse treatment from the perspective of social interaction processes and social group structure. There are many cessation strategies that make use of social processes. For example, sometimes a “motivational intervention” is implemented to confront the drug misuser with his or her detrimental effects on others.

Social Structure and Conflict Groups

2017
Tribes, as opposed to bands, are characterized by a superior mode of production and a superior warrior organization, along with the development of a crucial new social organization, the clan. The superior mode of production includes rudimentary horticulture, or small scale gardening by women, and more successful herd-hunting by the men. There are great

On the action of social groups

Inquiry, 1976
This paper deals with the question of whether and when it is appropriate or inappropriate to say that a social group performs an action. After some remarks on the concept of action three kinds of groups are distinguished, i.e. assemblies, institutions, and classes.

The ontology of social groups

Synthese, 2016
Two major questions have dominated work on the metaphysics of social groups: first, Are there any? And second, What are they? I will begin by arguing that the answer to the ontological question is an easy and obvious ‘yes’. We do better to turn our efforts elsewhere, addressing the question: “What are social groups?” One might worry, however, about ...
