Social tensegrity integrates the concepts of tensile architectural structure (tensegrity) and social system. It deepens our understanding of family structures and the influences of internal and external factors. Attachment, internal working model, and level of commitment provide the foundation that creates stability and integrity within social and family systems. Social tensegrity also highlights the influence of various factors both locally and globally on individuals, families, communities, and societies. The societal foundation constructed to promote overall stability also strongly influences commitment of compression members at each system level. Social tensegrity provides an additional means to examine social interaction on each systems level and contributes to a new conceptual foundation for future visual assessment tools and research
