The pandemic, and our response to it, have shown how unpredictable,
irrational, illogical, suddenly changing, and muddled human
interactions can be in a time of crisis. How can we make sense of
such confusing and baffling behavior? This book reveals how chaos
and nonlinear dynamics can bring new understanding to everyday
topics in social sciences. It brings together chapters from leaders
at the intersection of psychology and chaos and complexity
theories. Conceptual and user-friendly, it is built around six
themes: 1) Seeing nonlinearity, 2) Finding patterns, 3) using
Simple models, 4) Intervening nonlinearly, and 6) teaching a new
Worldview. It takes no specialized study-although there is more
sophisticated material and optional math for those wishing it. The
techie will, in addition, find concepts and diagrams to ponder. The
volume is engaging, at times startling-whether about the weather,
Internet, organizations, family dynamics, health, evolution, or
falling in love. It reveals how many social, personal, clinical,
research, and life phenomena become understandable and can be
modelled in the light of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS) theory.
It even offers a broadening worldview, happening already in other
sciences, toward a more dynamic, interconnected, and evolving
picture, including process-oriented appreciation of one's own
experience. The book offers those in the field of psychology and
the social sciences a stunning new perspective on human behaviour.
