This article examines applications of complexity theory within the behavioral and social sciences. Specific attention is given to the fundamental characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS)--such as individuals, groups, and societies-including the underlying structure of CAS, the internal dynamics of evolving CAS, and how CAS respond to their environment. Examples drawn from psychology, s...

Causality in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
This paper aims to acquaint researchers in the quantitative social and behavior sciences with recent advances in causal inference which provide a systematic methodology for defining, estimating, testing, and defending causal claims in experimental and observational studies. These advances are illustrated using a general theory of causation based on nonparametric structural equation models (SEM)...
متن کاملFunctional Equations in Behavioral and Social Sciences
Theories in the behavioral, social, and natural sciences are often formalized by equations involving unknown functions, i.e., by functional equations. For instance, a theorist may be reluctant tomake specific assumptions regarding the form of functions involved in a mathematical model, but the qualitative formulation of the model itself may impose constraints on the initially unknown functions....
متن کاملMeasurable systems and behavioral sciences
Individual choices often depend on the order in which the decisions are made. In this paper, we expose a general theory of measurable systems (an example of which is an individual’s preferences) allowing for incompatible (non-commuting) measurements. The basic concepts are illustrated in an example of non-classical rational choice. We conclude with a discussion of some of the basic properties o...
