Abstract:

Abstract Groups play a fundamental role in Abstract Algebra: many algebraic structures, including rings, fields, and modules, can be seen as formed by adding new operations and axioms based on groups. Researchers often use group theory to explain many kinds of phenomena. In recent years, group theory has been introduced into crystallography to further explore the macroscopic symmetry of crystals from a mathematical point of view. In this paper, the applications of group theory in crystallography and magic cubic will be discussed. Basic definitions and models of these fields are demonstrated. A finite group is a group with a finite number of elements, which are the important contents of group theory. Besides, this paper proves that n−1 elements in a n order group can completely decide the nth element and gives a method of the nth element in a commutative group of order n. The analysis suggests that the research method of group theory has an important influence on other subjects.

Abstract:

After a long period of scarce resources and a long delay in new scientific results suffered as a consequence of recent Spanish history, research concerning groups has experienced a rapid development over the last 15 years of the 20th century—the result of the late but then clear institutionalization of psychology into university structure. Although most research has been carried out at the very heart of social psychology and along the traditional lines of the field, a significant growth in the study of groups and work teams in organizational contexts can now be highlighted, coinciding with the tendency detected internationally during the last years. Beyond the normalization of group research in Spain, it is necessary to point out its excessive dependency in both theory and methodology on models and tools elaborated throughout North America and Europe. The present review closes with the proposal of creating a European formative curriculum for group psychologists in order to unify and promote research within this active and important field of psychology.

Abstract:

Within the UK NHS (National Health Service) there is an increasing emphasis on evidence based practice in psychological therapies. This article discusses the political challenges and practical dilemmas this raises for group analysis, first by examining questions that might be asked by the principal stakeholders in group analysis as practised within the NHS. Such questions relate to one central issue: `What is the point of group analysis?' and might be regarded as different angles on this shared, core question, as seen from the perspectives of outcome, process and theory. The literature relating to outcome and process in group analysis will be discussed and the current state of group-analytic theory examined, with emphasis on group analysis as a `broad church'. The article will discuss issues of research, and argue that, due to the relatively undeveloped state of group-analytic theory, it is necessary to look to qualitative research methods as a means of helping to build a more clearly defined group-analytic theory and proving its worth.

Abstract:

Group marketing uses the psychological mechanisms underlying group influence to drive customer behaviors that are beneficial to the firm. It is predicated on the firm's ability to guide two necessary and sufficient conditions: (1) a customer's awareness of an affiliation with the focal group and (2) exposure to group norms. By examining what it means to be affiliated with a group; determining how group norms are inferred, applied, and maintained; and testing a wide variety of ways in which these conditions become manifest, this research demonstrates the theoretical foundations of group marketing. Groups influence purchase behaviors by altering information and identity appraisals during decision making. Time in a purchase domain emerges as a critical determinant of the strength of group influence. Although previous research has suggested that social influence diminishes over time, a longitudinal field study and an experiment reveal that this prediction holds only when information appraisal dominates; an opposite effect arises when identity appraisal dominates. Group efficacy strengthens, but product price weakens, the effects of groups on purchase behaviors.

Abstract:

This article presents a theory of male identity developed to address the question of why men vary in their masculinity ideology and in their conformity to standards of masculinity. The theory, male reference group identity dependence, is based on two other theories—reference group theory and ego identity development theory. Reference group identity dependence is defined as the extent to which males are dependent on a reference group for their gender role self-concept. An overview of relevant masculinity research, theoretical foundations for the construct of reference group identity dependence, theoretical postulates, and associated behavioral and psychological characteristics are presented. Research implications of the theory are discussed and future research directions are provided.

Abstract:

Abstract The structure and behavior of molecules and crystals depend on their different symmetries. Thus, group theory is an essential technique in some fields of chemistry. Within mathematics itself, group theory is very closely linked to symmetry in geometry. Lagrange’s theorem is a statement in group theory that can be viewed as an extension of the number theoretical result of Euler’s theorem. It is seen as a significant lemma for proving more complicated results in group theory. The main intention of this dissertation is to prove Lagrange’s theorem which illustrates that every quadratic irrationality has a periodic continued fraction. Conversely, every periodic continued fraction is a quadratic irrationality. The first part of this paper is the research of so-called Dirichlet groups, which are subgroups of preserving certain pairs of lines. These groups are closely related to the periodicity of sails. The structure of a Dirichlet group is induced by the structure of the group of units in order. Taking n-th roots of two-dimensional matrices using Gauss’s reduction theory will also be shown. Finally, the solutions of Pell’s equation and Lagrange’s theorem will be proved.

Abstract:

Discussion in this article is on the elements of perceiver's intuitive theory of groups. The first element of the theory concerns perceiver's intuitive taxonomy of different types of groups. We discuss research examining this intuitive taxonomy, as well as the group properties that define different types of groups within the taxonomy. A second important element in the lay theory concerns perceiver's beliefs about how people within different types of groups regulate social interactions with one another. We discuss research examining the relation between perceiver's beliefs about different types of groups and how people within those groups are expected to relate to each other. Finally, we discuss how people use their intuitive theory of groups when making social judgments pertaining to groups.

Abstract:

Purpose In some fields, research group experiences gained in laboratories are more influential than the classroom in shaping graduate students’ research abilities, understandings of post-graduate careers and professional identities. However, little is known about what and how students learn from their research group experiences. This paper aims to explore the learning experiences of engineering graduate students in one chemical engineering research group to determine what students learned and to identify the practices and activities that facilitated their learning. Design/methodology/approach Ethnography was used to observe the experiences of one research group in chemical engineering. Fieldwork included 13 months of observations, 31 formal interviews (16 first-round and 15 second-round interviews) and informal interviews. Fieldnotes and transcriptions were analyzed using grounded theory techniques. Findings Research group members developed four dominant competencies: presenting research, receiving and responding to feedback, solving problems and troubleshooting problems. Students’ learning was facilitated by the practices and activities of the research group (e.g. weekly full group and subgroup meetings) and mediated through the interactions of others (i.e. peers, faculty supervisor and lab manager). Originality/value This study adds to the engineering education literature and contributes to the larger discourse on identifying promising practices and activities that improve student learning in graduate education.

Abstract:

Abstract Group theory is a powerful tool for studying symmetric physical systems. Such systems include, in particular, molecules and crystals with symmetry. Group theory serves to explain the most important characteristics of atomic spectra. Group theory is also applied to the problems of atomic and nuclear physics. This paper gives examples of the use of the apparatus of group theory in research on crystallography, quantum mechanics, elementary particle physics. In particular, in these studies matrix groups and representations of unitary groups are actively used. For such groups we give an overview of the results on their recognition by the spectrum (by the orders of the elements of the group). This direction has been intensively developed in recent years both in our country and abroad. Recognition of finite simple non-Abelian groups by spectrum has been studied for last thirty years in Yekaterinburg at the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Ural Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in Chelyabinsk Federal University and in the Novosibirsk Institute of Mathematics of Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Some simple non-Abelian groups are not recognizable by their spectra. We have proposed an approach for recognizing groups by the bottom layer. The bottom layer of a group is the set of its elements of prime orders. A group is called recognizable by the bottom layer under additional conditions if it is uniquely restored by the bottom layer under these conditions. The paper considers some examples of simple non-Abelian finite groups that are not recognizable by spectra. For these examples, simultaneous recognition by spectrum and by the bottom layer is proved.

Abstract:

Many studies in mathematics education research occur with a nonrepresentative sample and are never replicated. To challenge this paradigm, I designed a large-scale study evaluating student conceptions in group theory that surveyed a national, representative sample of students. By replicating questions previously used to build theory around student understanding of subgroups, cyclic groups, and isomorphism with over 800 students, I establish the utility of replication studies to (a) validate previous results, (b) establish the prevalence of various student conceptions, and (c) reexamine theoretical propositions. Data analyzed include 1 round of open-ended surveys, 2 rounds of closed-form surveys, and 30 follow-up interviews. I illustrate the potential of replication studies to refine theory and theoretical propositions in 3 ways: by offering alternate interpretations of student responses, by challenging previous pedagogical implications, and by reevaluating connections between theories

Abstract:

As a blueprint for designing a crystal, a crystal net should be a geometric object. So a crystal design regime might be based on an algorithm that generates crystal nets using geometry. The "Crystal Turtlebug" is such a program, generating crystal nets as graphs embedded in 3-space. McColm et al (2011) described a "Maple" version; it generated crystal nets of one or two kinds of vertices and one or two kinds of edges. A new "Python" version can generate crystal nets of any number of kinds of vertices and edges. The algorithm employs matrix representations of point groups. The "core" of the program takes a fragment of the prospective crystal (e.g. for a crystal of 3 kinds of atoms and 2 kinds of bonds, a "transversal" of 3 vertices and 2 edges). The core assigns point groups to the vertices and isometries to the edges. The core then repeatedly applies groups to isometries and vice versa to generate a unit cell. The computational problem is finding a transversal that produces a chemically plausible crystal net, as most crystal nets found are implausible. We follow a breadth-first search and enumerate some transversals, screen them, generate crystal nets from the screened transversals, and screen the results. This process can entail generating millions of transversals to obtain a handful of crystal nets for users to view manually. Although such a geometric approach is somewhat different from the more popular directions of contemporary research in crystal prediction, there is precedent in the work of A. F. Wells, A. Le Bail, C. Wilmer et al, and in particular M. Treacy et al (2004). In principle, the Crystal Turtlebug will generate every crystal net up to topological equivalence. In practice, there is an exponential explosion in the number of transversals, so the time spent enumerating crystal nets within fixed parameters explodes exponentially with the number of kinds of atoms and bonds (McColm (2012)).

Abstract:

Purpose – The police culture literature suggests that police officers’ attitude towards the public is characterised by suspicion and an “us-vs-them” mentality. It also refers to the moral mission of protecting the public by being tough on crime. The traditional police culture model seems to imply that these aspects are typical for the police. There is, however, a lack of empirical studies to test this proposition. The purpose of this paper is to propose a different conceptual framework, based on grid-group cultural theory (GGCT), which not only broadens the lens of the police culture model, but also allows for comparative research between different professional groups. Design/methodology/approach – The newly developed conceptual framework is tested in an ethnographic study in the Belgian police and labour inspection. The main data collection methods are observation, interview and informal conversation. Findings – The results of this study show that there are similarities in the way in which Belgian police officers and labour inspectors interact with the public, which raises interesting questions concerning the (often implicit) claim of the police culture literature concerning the specificity of police culture. Research limitations/implications – More research is needed to gain deeper insight into similarities and differences of the occupational culture in the police and comparable professional groups. GGCT offers a useful conceptual framework for such a research agenda. Originality/value – This paper addresses a number of criticisms against the classic police culture model and provides an innovative perspective to not only study aspects of police culture, but also compare the police with other professions.

Abstract:

In the area of occupational health, progressive scientists in many countries are attempting to carry out scientific inquiry into the effects of working conditions on the health of workers in a participatory relationship with workers. The author proposes an action research model to describe the underlying research process, taking into account the interests of both workers and academics. For worker/scientist cooperation to be effective, means must be found for the two groups to work on an equal footing. Workers' participation in occupational health research projects takes two forms: informational input—workers' knowledge of working conditions and health problems systematized and used to better understand the work situation and its effects on health and well-being; and partnership—workers' participation in the design and realization of all stages of the research project. Institutional context and worker participation are analyzed in the present article in the light of the experiences of our research group, Group de Recherche-action en Biologie de Travail (Action Research on Work Biology), at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The group has been involved in action research with unions for the past ten years under the terms of a signed agreement between the University and the two major Québec unions, the Féderation des travailleurs (travailleuses) du Québec and the Conféderation des syndicats nationaux.

Abstract:

Abstract. Due to the difficulties of understanding all the aspects of creativity, the study of this complex phenomenon has been placed at the crossroads of various disciplines. Among these, social psychology has been interested in this exploration. Incidentally, various approaches in creativity research highlighted the importance of social factors in the production, judgment, and acceptance of creative ideas. Contributions adopting such a social perspective naturally convoked different social psychological theories, among which is the Social Representations Theory. This theory focuses on the collective construction of shared knowledge and beliefs (social representations) within social groups. Interesting perspectives about the contribution of social representations to the study of creativity have been described in previous works. Nevertheless, these works remain rare despite the many possibilities offered by the theoretical and methodological framework of social representations. Consequently, the present contribution recalls briefly the main objectives that these previous works have pursued in order to highlight several unexplored lines of research that could promote theoretical, methodological, and applied advancement. These lines could enrich research related to the evaluation of creativity, the study of creativity as deviance, the stimulation of group creativity, and promote interdisciplinary work. This contribution aims to draw the attention of researchers to these under-exploited perspectives and stimulate the creation of many others to understand better the complex phenomenon of creativity.

The resulting theoretical model accounts for six emergent components that contribute to members’ identification with faculty careers: (1) social identities and personal factors; (2) sociocultural factors; (3) participation, interactions, and learning in research group experiences; (4) faculty prototype; (5) social comparisons; and (6) individual and institutional experiences. The article concludes with implications for further research and recommendations regarding mentoring and design of research group experiences that may promote greater interest in and identification with the professoriate.

Abstract:

Purpose – The aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measurement instrument for organizational culture on the basis of grid-group cultural theory (GGCT). Design/methodology/approach – The study consisted of three phases. In a first phase, the literature was reviewed and experts on GGCT were consulted in order to design an item pool for the typology. In a second phase, a pilot study was done in two organizations of the Belgian federal government to evaluate this original item pool. The third phase consisted of the actual data gathering in seven organizations within the Belgian federal government. Findings – The study showed that it is possible to measure organizational culture based on GGCT. The authors used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the underlying structure of the data and found support for the existence of four culture scales. Scale reliabilities in the third phase of the study were satisfactory and ranged between 0.703 and 0.848. Research limitations/implications – The current research was not specifically designed to evaluate content validity. Further research is needed to explore this issue. It would also be interesting to develop a GGCT-based measurement instrument for the team level. Practical implications – The measurement instrument can be used by practitioners to describe and assess their organizational culture. Originality/value – This study introduces a novel way to measure organizational culture, using a promising theoretical framework.

Abstract:

Purpose Consumers usually respond favourably to ingroups but negatively to dissociative groups and products linked to dissociative groups, termed the dissociative group effect. Despite important implications for branding, advertising and celebrity endorsement, little is known about how to attenuate the effect. This paper aims to introduce a mechanism which attenuates the dissociative group effect by drawing on construal level theory. Design/methodology/approach An experimental approach was used which included two-part between-subjects designs. Findings High identifiers prefer products linked to their ingroup over ones linked to a dissociative group, however, the opposite is true for low identifiers. The difference in preference is attenuated for high and low identifiers when they are placed in an abstract mind-set. The underlying mechanism of this effect is similarity focus. Research limitations/implications The same context was used to ensure that the attenuating effect found was not due to contextual factors. However, further studies should replicate the findings in a wider variety of contexts. Practical implications This research offers practical recommendations on how to manage multiple customer segments in increasingly diverse marketplaces. By inducing an abstract mind-set in customers, for example, via advertising copy, website architecture or contextual factors such as pitch of the music, marketers can increase the effectiveness of identity-linking marketing for consumers’ high/low in identification. Originality/value This is one of the first empirical studies to evidence the applicability of construal level theory within identity marketing and offers a novel mechanism to attenuate the dissociative group effect. The findings shed new light on how low identifiers relate and respond to identity-linked marketing.

Abstract:

Command hallucinations (CH) are a distressing and high-risk group of symptoms that have long been recognized but little understood, with few effective treatments. Research shows that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a promising treatment for hallucinations in general and therefore has a potential role in the treatment of CH. We propose that the development of an effective CBT for CH would be enhanced by a theory specific to this uniquely problematic symptom. In this article we describe and apply such a theory from evolutionary psychology, namely social rank theory, and review recent evidence for its application to hallucinations in general. Second, we present a treatment protocol developed in accordance with the principles of the theory specifically for CH, and describe an illustrative case. Finally, we outline the design and methodology of a new, randomized, controlled trial currently being undertaken to test the efficacy of the treatment. Further developments both in the protocol and in its evaluation are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract There is a growing emphasis to use a transdisciplinary team approach to accelerate innovations in science to solve complex conditions associated with aging. However, the optimal organizational structure and process for how to accomplish transdisciplinary team science are unclear. In this study, we illustrate our team’s experience using transdisciplinary approaches to solve challenging and persistent problems for older adults living in urban communities. We describe our challenges and successes using the National Institutes of Health four-phase model of transdisciplinary team-based research. Using a de-identified survey, the team conducted an internal evaluation to identify features that created challenges including structural incongruities, interprofessional blind spots, group function, and group dynamics. The team then identified responses to address the features that created challenges and determined indicators for success. Indicators for success were identified by the team as a place for continued evaluation of the teams’ collaborative effectiveness, transdisciplinary integration, and impact on the university and aging community. This work resulted in the creation of the team’s Transdisciplinary Conceptual Model. This model became essential to understanding the complex interplay between societal factors, community partners, and academic partners. Conducting internal evaluations of transdisciplinary team processes is integral for teams to move beyond the multi- and interdisciplinary niche and to reach true transdisciplinary success. More research is needed to develop measures that assess team transdisciplinary integration. Once the process of transdisciplinary integration can be reliably assessed, the next step would be to determine the impact of transdisciplinary team science initiatives on aging communities.

Abstract:

The article focuses on the intersection of theory methodology and empirical research to argue that we can learn about habitus through certain types of focus groups. An account of the relationship between structure, individual and collective agency is developed to provide a grounding for the methodological argument. The article suggests, on the basis of this understanding, that focus groups can be constituted to give us access to interactions which draw upon the collective basis of habitus. Some empirical work is drawn upon for illustrative purposes.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to identifying the uniqueness of the works of the genre "group portrait" by etymological research of the concept "group portrait", identifying the typology of this genre, exploring the traditional possibilities of its systematization in order to comprehensively consider the essence of the group portrait in the research tradition. The aim of the study is to deepen the understanding of the genre of group portrait and its specific features. The methodological bases of the research are the basic categories of the theory of reflection of G. V. F. Hegel, the basic principles of the synthetic concept of the ideal by D. V. Pivovarov, the theory of fine art by V. I. Zhukovsky, N. P. Koptseva, as well as general scientific empirical and theoretical research methods.

Abstract:

Despite the fact that L. S. Vygotsky is a prominent figure in the history of Russian psychology due to the unique contribution to the development of scientific thought and organization of work of the new scientific center, the research group under his authority becomes the subject of a separate research for the first time. This article discusses the results of biographical analysis based on the historical-psychological sources, published testimonies of his contemporaries, such as memoirs, conversations and interviews, scientific autobiographies, transcripts of speeches, biographical articles, and published archival materials. The novelty of the implemented by the author research approach consists in reference to the research activity of L. S. Vygotsky and his scientific school from the perspective of theory of the collective. It is determined that due to the work in different institutions and different goals of research activity, the group of scholars under the authority of L. S. Vygotsky cannot be defined as a collective. The leader of Soviet psychology and defectology was a head of several interrelated research groups: since 1924 at the premises of the Institute of Experimental Psychology, since 1929 – the Experimental Institute of Defectology and the Academy of Communist Education named after N. K. Krupskaya, since 1932 – the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine. In order to manage the effective research work of the groups, L. S. Vygotsky applied his creative, pedagogical and organizational skills. The scholar implemented a democratic management approach based on the uniformity of administration, cognition, and communication. L. S. Vygotsky’s scientific school was united by a progressive experimental and practice-oriented research program, sensitive to the public needs in building the theory and system of psychological assistance in the USSR.
