The question of the social lies at the core of sociology. In his famous methodological maxim, Durkheim urges sociologists to explain the social only with itself. According to him, ‘The determining cause of a social fact should be sought among antecedent social facts and not among the states of individual consciousness’ (1982, p. 134). However, when one

Social identity theory is a “grand” theory. Its core premise is that in many social situations people think of themselves and others as group members, rather than as unique individuals. The theory argues that social identity underpins intergroup behavior and sees this as qualitatively distinct from interpersonal behavior.

Social identity theory (SIT) explores how group affiliations shape individual identities, with self-categorization playing a central role. Group level mechanisms, including in-group favoritism and out-group bias, are central to SIT, and these are influencing organizational dynamics such as team formation and inclusion/exclusion processes.

A social default theory is a collection of default theories with which each agent reasons and behaves by taking attitudes of other agents into account. The semantics of a social default theory is given as social extensions which represent the agreement of beliefs of ...

That people do what they do because of what they see in others hardly needs to be said. Nothing is more obvious. Still, the dependence of people on others calls for some analysis. I will show that two levels of dependence can be distinguished. I will go on to suggest that the second level is the one to study, and how this might be done.

This article offers a history of the wave metaphor in social theory, examining how waves became rhetorical forms through which to think about the shape of social change. The wave analytic—“waves of democratization,” “waves of immigration,” “waves of resistance”—wavers between high theory and popular model, between objectivist sociological explanation ...
