This volume brings together a collection of papers that examine a
range of social psychological and group related phenomena,
including original research articles, new theoretical developments,
and general reviews of select topics in the group processes
literature. Topics examined include how network structures affect
comparisons process and the distribution of power, and the
emergence of strong power in complex networks. One chapter uses
social exchange theory to understand the seeds of corruption, and
another asks how social exchange theory might be used to understand
multiplex relations. The volume also questions longstanding
assumptions in the group processes literature, such as trust as an
expressive rather than instrumental act and whether group
reflection has any empirical impact on group performance. One
contribution links status characteristics theory with social
influence network theory and another seeks to understand how racial
misclassification impacts mental and physical health outcomes.
There is a final chapter that distinguishes between diverse effects
of individualism in producing independence or competition, and
traces the impact of these forces on group creativity.
