Social capital, intellectual capital, and the organizational advantage

by Janine Nahapiet - Academy of Management Review , 1998
"... Scholars of the theory of the firm have begun to emphasize the sources and conditions of what has been described a s "the organizational advantage, " rather than focus on the causes and consequences of market failure. Typically, researchers see such organizational advantage a s accruing fr ..."

in the form of a series of hypothesized relation-ships between different dimensions of social capital and the main mechanisms and processes necessary for the creation of intellectual capital. Kogut and Zander recently have proposed "that a firm be understood a s a social commu-nity specializing

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."

both the social world and cognitive-processing mechanisms impose niters on incoming information that distort it in a positive direction; negative information may be isolated and represented in as unthreatening a manner as possible. These positive illusions may be especially useful when an individual

Human agency in social cognitive theory

by Albert Bandura - The American Psychologist , 1989
"... ABSTRACT: The present article examines the nature and function of human agency within the conceptual model of triadic reciprocal causation. In analyzing the operation of human agency in this interactional causal structure, social cognitive theory accords a central role to cognitive, vicarious, self- ..."

A Social Mechanism of Reputation Management in Electronic Communities

by Bin Yu, Munindar P. Singh - In Proceedings of Fourth International Workshop on Cooperative Information Agents , 2000
"... Trust is important wherever agents must interact. We consider the important case of interactions in electronic communities, where the agents assist and represent principal entities, such as people and businesses. We propose a social mechanism of reputation management, which aims at avoiding interact ..."

Mediation in experimental and nonexperimental studies: new procedures and recommendations

by Patrick E. Shrout, Niall Bolger - PSYCHOLOGICAL METHODS , 2002
"... Mediation is said to occur when a causal effect of some variable X on an outcome Y is explained by some intervening variable M. The authors recommend that with small to moderate samples, bootstrap methods (B. Efron & R. Tibshirani, 1993) be used to assess mediation. Bootstrap tests are powerful ..."

size is small or suppression is a possibility. Empirical examples and computer setups for bootstrap analyses are provided. Mediation models of psychological processes are popular because they allow interesting associations to be decomposed into components that reveal possible causal mechanisms

The faculty of language: what is it, who has it, and how did it evolve?

by Marc D Hauser , Noam Chomsky , W Tecumseh Fitch - Science, , 2002
"... We argue that an understanding of the faculty of language requires substantial interdisciplinary cooperation. We suggest how current developments in linguistics can be profitably wedded to work in evolutionary biology, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience. We submit that a distinction should ..."

be made between the faculty of language in the broad sense (FLB) and in the narrow sense (FLN). FLB includes a sensory-motor system, a conceptual-intentional system, and the computational mechanisms for recursion, providing the capacity to generate an infinite range of expressions from a finite set

The Network Structure of Social Capital

by Ronald S. Burt - RESEARCH IN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR (VOL , 2000
"... This is a review of argument and evidence on the connection between social networks and social capital. My summary points are three: (1) Research and theory will better cumulate across studies if we focus on the network mechanisms responsible for social capital effects rather than trying to integrat ..."

Meeting of minds: the medial frontal cortex and social cognition.

by David M Amodio , Chris D Frith - Nature Review Neuroscience, , 2006
"... Abstract | Social interaction is a cornerstone of human life, yet the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition are poorly understood. Recently, research that integrates approaches from neuroscience and social psychology has begun to shed light on these processes, and converging evidence from n ..."

Evolution of networks

by S. N. Dorogovtsev, J. F. F. Mendes - Adv. Phys , 2002
"... We review the recent fast progress in statistical physics of evolving networks. Interest has focused mainly on the structural properties of random complex networks in communications, biology, social sciences and economics. A number of giant artificial networks of such a kind came into existence rece ..."

Reflective and impulsive determinants of social behavior

by Fritz Strack - Personality and Social Psychology Review , 2004
"... This article describes a 2-systems model that explains social behavior as a joint function of reflective and impulsive processes. In particular, it is assumed that social behavior is controlled by 2 interacting systems that follow different operating principles. The reflective system generates behav ..."
