"Advances in Group Processes" publishes theoretical analyses,
reviews and theory based empirical chapters on group phenomena.
Volume 18 addresses a broad range of theoretical and empirical
questions that cut across sociology, psychology, economics, and
political science. The first two contributions examine the
perceptual and interactional factors that result in leadership and
inequality in small groups. The next chapter explores the
psychology of buying and selling, focusing in particular on the
perceptual biases that emerge when individuals exchange money for
goods. The fourth chapter seeks to identify important personal
characteristics and social factors that precipitate trust among
strangers. Two chapters then address relatively new questions in
the social sciences. Chapter five asks how the study of autistic
individuals can shed light on basic cognitive processes and a
theory of the mind. Chapter six shows how evolutionary psychology
can help explain the emergence of social structures such as kinship
networks. The final two chapters bring experimental evidence to
bear on questions of status, influence, and affective reactions in
groups. Overall, the volume includes contributions by major
scholars from various social scientific disciplines that work in
the general area of group processes.
