Social Psychology of Identities
■ Abstract In this chapter I review the social psychological underpinnings of identity, emphasizing social cognitive and symbolic interactionist perspectives and research, and I turn then to key themes of current work on identity—social psychological, sociological, and interdisciplinary. I emphasize the social bases of identity, particularly identities based on ethnicity, race, sexuality, gende...
متن کاملSocial Reinforcement: Cascades, Entrapment, and Tipping
The actions of di¤erent agents sometimes reinforce each other. Examples are network e¤ects and the threshold models used by sociologists as well as Leibensteins bandwagon e¤ects.We model such situations as a game with increasing di¤erences, and show that tipping of equilibria, cascading and clubs with entrapment are natural consequences of this mutual reinforcement. If there are several equi...
متن کاملSocial Reinforcement: Cascades, Entrapment, and Tipping
The choices made by different individuals can reinforce each other. Network externalities provide an obvious example. Explanations for Microsoft’s domination of the operating system market, eBay’s domination of the online auction market, and the permanence of the QWERTY keyboard layout have been based on network effects. The rapid growth in popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook...
متن کاملA symbolic approach to some identities for Bernoulli – Barnes
The Bernoulli–Barnes polynomials are defined as a natural multidimensional extension of 21 the classical Bernoulli polynomials. Many of the properties of the Bernoulli polynomials 22 admit extensions to this new family. A specific expression involving the Bernoulli–Barnes 23 polynomials has recently appeared in the context of self-dual sequences. The work pre24 sented here provides a proof of t...
متن کاملQuasi-identities of Finite Semigroups and Symbolic Dynamics
An algebra is inherently non-nitely (Q-)based if it is not a member of any locally nite (quasi-)variety, whose (quasi-)identities are nitely based. We prove that no nite semigroup is inherently non-nitely Q-based. This is in marked contrast to the case of varieties, where there are many inherently non-nitely based nite semigroups which have all been described by the second author.
