  1. Social behavior

    In physics , physiology and sociology , social behavior is behavior directed towards society, or taking place between, members of the same species. Behavior such as predation which involves members of different species is not society social . While many social behaviors are animal communication communication provoke a response, or change in behavior, without acting directly on the receiver communication between members of different species is not social behavior. The umbrella term behavioral sciences is used to refer to sciences that study behaviorality disturbance in general. In sociology, behavior itself means an animal like activity devoid of social meaning or social context, in contrast to social behavior which has both. In a sociological hierarchy, social behavior is followed by social actions , which is directed at other people and is designed to induce a response. Further along this ascending scale are social interaction and social relation . In conclusion, social behavior is a process of communicating.

  1. Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems

    Orphan date June 2008 Notability date September 2009 Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems is a paper by Jay Forrester . In it, Forrester gives a concise explanation of how flame wars start. The mental model is fuzzy. It is incomplete. It is imprecisely stated. Furthermore, within one individual, a mental model changes with time and even during the flow of a single conversation. The human mind assembles a few relationships to fit the context of a discussion. As the subject shifts so does the model. When only a single topic is being discussed, each participant in a conversation employs a different mental model to interpret the subject. Fundamental assumptions differ but are never brought into the open. Goals are different and are left unstated. It is little wonder that compromise takes so long. And it is not surprising that consensus leads to laws and programs that fail in their objectives or produce new difficulties greater than those that have been relieved. Forrester s work with complex systems has potential applications to semiotics , artificial intelligence , and the semantic web .

  1. Legal behavior

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 In sociology , legal behavior refers to variations in the methods and degree of governmental social control of behavior . Background In 1976, theoretical sociologist Donald Black introduced a general sociological theory of law in his book The Behavior of Law. The theory exemplified Black s sociological paradigm known as pure sociology . A central aspect of this paradigm was the reconceptualization of human behavior as the behavior of social life. Thus, the behavior of many individuals may be understood and more readily explained as a single phenomenon. One form of social life is law, defined by Black as governmental social control. Social control is any process of defining and responding to deviant behavior deviance . Any increase of governmental social control be it a call to the police, an arrest, a prosecution, or a conviction is thus an increase of law. The word behavior is used here as it is used in the physical sciences to refer to variation. In this sense, everything behaves, including particles, storm systems, and law. Black s theory predicts and explains variations in legal behavior, such as why one assault results in a call to the police while another does not, or why one homicide conviction results in capital punishment while another does not.

There has been a tendency in the social sciences generally to polarize arguments about consciousness, identity, behavior, and culture around either the mind existing in the head or the mind being an artifact of social interaction.

Among animals Animals may use display behavior for different purposes including threat, courtship and direct competition, for example. An example of courtship display may be the behavior of animal s such as the male bowerbird , that builds nests to attract female bowerbirds. Other male animals perform courtship dances trying to show their advantage over other males. Another good example is the male peacock showing his big ornamented tail. As mentioned, animals may use display behavior during direct competition between them for a resource of a kind. In many cases, when two animals need the same resource food, territory, females , a conflict may arise which, if escalated into a fight, may cause damage to one or all involved. In these cases, using a display behavior that allows the animal to estimate the opponent s fighting ability, may save the costs and risks of fighting an unnecessary battle. Examples of this behavior may be found in the world of beetles, birds, mammals and more. Among plants Plant s may form flower s, whose net effect is to attract pollinating insect s or bird s. Thus some plants and some animals exhibit a form of coevolution with each other.
