Group Dialectics
The temporal environment of groups is assumed to be at least as important as space. The temporal environment becomes particularly salient under conditions of changing group membership and in the social psychology of long-term groups (such as families, friends, and work groups) in contrast to short-term groups (such as juries and laboratory groups). When considering long-term groups macro-time considerations lead to the emergent concepts of contin…
Toward a theory and measure of the nature of nonprejudice
To broaden the understanding of interpersonal relations, the nature of nonprejudice is proposed, and a means of measuring it is developed. Nonprejudice is conceptualized, in part, as a universal orientation in interpersonal relations whereby perceivers selectively attend to, accentuate, and interpret similarities rather than differences between the self and others (cognitive integration vs. differentiation). A series of studies indicates that the…
Life after parental death: Monitoring a child's self-concept before and after family violence
In a case study, the self-esteem of a first-grade child was monitored over an eight-month period, before and after she witnessed the death of her mother, who was shot by her father's female friend. Through a series of telephone interviews with the child's aunt, in whose care she was entrusted, it was suggested that the rapid rebound in the child's self-evaluation was attributable to personal and social controls deriving from her initially high se…
Explicating Cognitive Conflict through Photo-Communication: The Meaning of War and Peace in Germany and the United States
Separation of groups is associated with differential meaning of crucial concepts, negative attributions of the separated parties arising from cognitive differences, and an accompanying increase in the probability of conflict. Here, the crucial concepts examined are “war” and “peace.” Eighty children from Germany and the United States were asked to take one photograph that represents war and another that represents peace. A content analysis of the…
Shyness‐environment interaction: A view from the shy side through auto‐photography
It is proposed that shyness both induces and is induced by the perception of the environment This study of person‐situation transaction used photographic images taken by shy and less shy subjects in response to the question, “Who are you?” A content analysis of the photographs showed that shy persons were less person‐oriented, more aesthetically oriented, and showed a reduced range of orientations when compared to less shy persons The hierarchy o…
Iconic Communication of Values among Americanand Polish Students
Many of the major value surveys are forced-choice questionnaires based on the theoretical assumption that values are variable only in the ranking patterns of universal components. In order to test the assumption of universalism across two diverse cultures, a free-response method was employed in which Polish and American college freshmen took photographs of preferred objects in their everyday environment. The resultant value orientations reveal a …
Personality Theory and Judging: A Proposed Theory of Self‐Esteem and Judicial Policy‐Making
Although a variety of explanatory models have been used in recent years to explain and describe individual and aggregate judicial policy‐making, little attention has been devoted to how a judge's personality may affect his or her policy choices on the bench. In fact, psychological models are important for understanding twentieth‐century jurisprudence as well as for conceptualizing the conditions under which an individual decision maker will exerc…

The Alienation Syndrome: A Triadic Pattern of Self-Other Orientation
A social psychological theory of personality is presented which examines the crucial relationship between self and other as perceived by the individual and communicated by topological configurations of the self in relation to.significant others.

The alienation syndrome is defined as low self esteem, low social…
The Neutral in a Communication Network Under Conditions of Conflict
Two laboratory experiments are reported which describe the effects of the presence of a neutral in a communication network during the resolution of differences of opinion between two persons. The presence of a neutral was found to be associated with increased resistance to persuasion, increased number of messages between parties, and increased perception of difficulty in resolving the conflict. It was proposed that the neutral sustains conflict b…

A Study of Individualism: Some Demographic and Psychological Correlates
Individualism was measured by offering students a choice between an individual and a group experience. It was assumed that a preponderance of favorable experiences of differentiation within the social field is associated with the development of individualism. Data from questionnaries and group rating scales indicated that family sibling patterns, spatial mobility, race, religion, age and preferences for joining “out” groups were significantly rel…

Individuation and Socialization: A Theory of Assimilation in Large Organizations
A Longitudinal Study of the Assimilation of the New Child in the Group
The process of the assimilation of the newcomer in the group was traced by means of repeated sociometrics, self reports of the newcomers, and teacher ratings of the newcomers' adjustment, administered over an eleven-week period in twentyeight elementary school classes to which a new student had been assigned. The data were collected during the afternoon following the newcomers' introduction and again one, two, three, five, seven, and eleven weeks…

Status Congruency and Interpersonal Conflict in Decision-Making Groups
Some Consequences of Age Heterogeneity in Decision-Making Groups
Status is most frequently defined as relative position in a hierarchy. Moreover, it is generally agreed that age, sex, and race are status variables (13). Finally, it is frequently assumed that a power component is inherent in status as a social dimension. The study presented here tests this assumption by analyzing the relationship between a member's age and power or influence in a group decision-making situation within the American culture. In a…
