From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Our theory of education, based on a systemic understanding of the subjective and intersubjective construction of knowledge, is that students are motivated to study what is most meaningful to them. Meaningfulness is grounded in the students' prior experiences, which are highly diverse.

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.

Formation of Distance‐Based Orientation: Political Identity through Relational Positioning in Israel
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Distance‐based orientation describes how pejorative labels may serve as anchor points for political identity. Existing research on political labeling has largely emphasized stigmatization, overlooking how labels may acquire durability and orienting capacity without losing pejorative force. Drawing on publicly circulating discourse, we trace positioning
