A number of theoretical models have been proposed in recent years to explain pacing strategies observed in individual competitive endurance events. These have typically related to the internal regulatory processes that inform the making of decisions relating to muscular work rate. Despite a substantial body of research which has investigated the influence of collective group dynamics on individ...

This research examined the role of different forms of positive regard for the ingroup in predicting beliefs in intergroup conspiracies. Collective narcissism reflects a belief in ingroup greatness contingent on others' recognition. We hypothesized that collective narcissism should be especially likely to foster outgroup conspiracy beliefs. Non-narcissistic ingroup positivity, on the other hand,...

This paper identifies four design issues for Collective Remembering (CR). We first review the current main areas where CR is being explored, namely organisational memory, sociable sharing and reflective sharing, and for each identify key challenges. We apply Clark’s (1996) Common Ground framework for communication to understand these different aspects of sharing. We use this framework to identi...

Much of the research that has been carried out into movement patterns focuses on one level of granularity (Andrienko and Andrienko 2007, Dodge et al. 2008). However, our research into collectives has shown that this is not adequate when representing collective motion (i.e., the motion exhibited by a collective). We have developed a framework (the Three Level Analysis (TLA) framework) that analy...

It is well established today that emotions are an important part of most societal dynamics. The current article focuses on the role of different collective emotional elements in creating, preserving, and resolving conflicts. The main premise is that collective emotions play a pivotal role in shaping individual and societal responses to conflicting events and in contributing to the evolvement of...

Collective storytelling is a narrative form that has cultural, cognitive, and organizational applications. Built on existing research in group collaboration, this short paper examines how certain game mechanics can be used to encourage and structure collaboration in StoryJam, a multi-player online game for collective storytelling.

background: despite the great body of knowledge on the effects of patient education, it has not been institutionalized in hospital settings. a collective effort was implemented to establish sustainable patient education in the clinical care of neurosurgical patients in a university hospital in arak through an action research in 2011-2012. this article shares a part of experiences and knowledge ...

With the advent of advanced yet exoteric ICTs, especially the social media, new forms of collective actions have emerged to illuminate several fundamental yet theoretically obscure aspects of collective actions. Existing computational studies focusing on capturing and mapping the interactions and issues prevailing in social media manage to identify the manifestations of collective actions. They...
