Isles of Wonder : performing the mythopoeia of utopic multi-ethnic Britain
Within this article, I interrogate the mediated ‘narratives of nation’ told through the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. Such narratives are not just pedagogic, they are political and ideological processes that require us to pose questions about the place of the past in the present and with regard to who is entitled to speak that past. I suggest that the ceremony performed an ‘aesthetic of…

Personality and Small Groups An Interdisciplinary Perspective
This review illuminated the need for interdisciplinary integration of research on personality and groups. Network analysis of references cited in 13 previous reviews showed that this literature is fragmented; the disciplinary base has narrowed over time; is dominated by psychology, organization studies, and small group studies; and is poorly integrated with other relevant disciplines. Research …

The augmented newsbeat: spatial structuring in a Twitterized news ecosystem

At the New York state government, actors within the space permeate informational barriers through Twitter while enabling others to follow and engage in events from remote locations.

The current study focuses on the social construction of definitions of quality in the field of the television drama series in Israel. By doing that, this work challenges Pierre Bourdieu’s claim that since artifacts of ‘popular culture’ industries are not regarded as ‘autonomous’, according to the autonomy-of-art ideology, they cannot be consecrated as works of art. Bourdieu’s thesis was challen…

This article proposes to analyse the transition of Brazilian media celebrities into the political sphere during the last three decades by examining five paradigmatic cases of famous figures who have made forays into politics between the years 1982 and 2012. Global changes in the relationship between the media and the political system, as well as contemporary Brazilian history, have been taken i…

Twenty-six batterers who attended the intervention and 19 batterers who did not attend the intervention were compared using self-report measures. Batterers who attended the intervention showed significant reductions in abusive behaviors, in attitudes toward domestic violence, in risk of future violence, and in psyc…

How Individual Self-Regulation Affects Group Regulation and Performance: A Sh…
This study explored the relationship between individual self-regulated learning (SRL), socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL), and group performance plus the effect of an intervention promoting SSRL. We hypothesized that SRL would influence SSRL and group performance as groups with high SRL students will be better regulated and that the intervention would promote SSRL over time. The resu…

The Role of the Star Player in a Cohesive Group
Based on social learning theory, we explore when the most competent member in the group leads to high group performance. We argue that the most competent member in the group increases group performance in high cohesive groups where members interact more frequently and maintain closer relationships with one another. To examine this, we used multisource data collected in two waves from an organiz…

Sex Composition Disrupts the Accuracy of Women’s Metaperceptions of Partners
The effects of sex composition of dyads and surrounding others in groups on the accuracy in women’s expected evaluations (metaperceptions) were investigated using the Group Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (GAPIM). The dataset comprised 26 groups of four to six previously unacquainted participants who completed an unstructured social interaction followed by round-robin evaluations and metape…

The Trajectory of Emergence of Shared Group-Level Constructs
By examining 20 years of research conducted on groups (and teams), in field, academic, and laboratory settings, we used statistical aggregation indices to evaluate arguments that in newly formed groups, (a) evidence of the emergence of group-level shared constructs should be minimal and (b) evidence of the emergence of such constructs should increase over time/interaction. Puzzlingly, we found …

This article explores the effects of emotional intelligence (EI) in a team setting. Informational diversity is theorized to moderate the relationship between team EI and performance. I propose that EI increases the ability of team members to engage each other in information elaboration and that elaboration leads to better performance when teams are informationally diverse. In a laboratory study…

Dynamic Interplay Between Norms and Experiences of Anger and Gratitude in Groups
Emotions of task group members tend to be congruent, yet the processes that lead to this congruence are not well understood. In this study, we longitudinally followed the convergence of anger and gratitude in 68 task groups, and investigated the role of emotion norms in achieving this convergence. Over time, individual members’ emotions influenced the group’s emotions, and, conversely, the grou…

Rethinking Virtuality and Its Impact on Teams
We propose an extension of the Hollenbeck, Beersma, and Schouten team context model to include a fourth dimension: virtuality—the distance between team members. Based on an analysis of 29 unique approaches to conceptualizing virtuality and a critical comparison of these approaches with the Hollenbeck et al. framework, we recommend that virtuality be measured, along with skill differentiation, a…

A Multilevel Examination of the Impact of Team Interpersonal Processes
This study examined factors that affect individuals’ intentions to remain with their current organization, as well as team-level, manager-rated effectiveness, using a sample of 78 teams from a large grocery store chain within the Baltic region. The results suggest that team interpersonal processes play a key mediating role in facilitating both outcomes. Specifically, interpersonal processes had…

Effects of diversity in team members’ rational and intuitive cognitive styles on team outcomes were investigated in a moderated-mediation model, exploring conflict management as a moderator and cohesion as a mediator. The negative effects of diversity on cohesion were moderated by conflict management, such that diversity harmed cohesion when conflict management was low but had no effect when co…

Recent research on team personality has paid growing attention to team agreeableness; yet the literature is replete with mixed findings regarding the relationship between team agreeableness and team performance. Following the emerging trend of examining the moderating role of team personality traits in team dynamics, we propose a novel view of team agreeableness as a moderator for the relations…

Choice Shifts in Small Groups Engaging in Repeated Intellective Tasks
We examine the propensity of individuals working in small groups to shift choices from their initial positions, following a group discussion, when engaged in multiple intellective tasks. We study the factors that may influence such shifts including perceptions of oneself and others, one’s specialized knowledge level, and the amount of disagreement among the initial choices.

The internationalization of emerging country national oil companies (NOCs) is one of the most surprising manifestations of state capitalism’s resurgence at the end of the 20th century. Existing research argues that structural changes at the international level and economic advantages at the domestic level created a uniform capacity across NOCs to internationalize in the 2000s. Yet, there is sig…

The Non-Democratic Origins of Income Taxation
This article examines the adoption of income taxes in Western economies since the 19th century. We identify two empirical regularities that challenge predictions of existing models of taxation and redistribution: While countries with low levels of electoral enfranchisement and high levels of landholding inequality adopt the income tax first, countries with more extensive electoral rules lag beh…
