Group Dynamics

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Aren't they fascinating? They've always appealed to me as I have a degree in Psychology - and before someone pipes up - and Metaphysical Victorian Love Poetry. An enlightened man would say they're the same thing. :wink:

Will you find another forum to be together? Or just drift?

Love to you all. :kiss:

As I understand it, the whole social psychology field has been shook recently by the theory of social connectionism (connectivism?), which as I understand it - and I don't have a degree in psychology (although I do develop web based eLearning resources for degree-level Psychology) - is like chaos theory (from physics) applied to social psychology.


Which would explain a lot.

I have this vague idea you're talking fluid dynamics there, PiB... :lol:

So if you apply chaos to group dynamics, do you get similar turbulence to fluid dynamics?

And do psychologists gloss over it in the same way that physicists do? :innocent:

...although I'm hoping that it means that the hapless flapping of a social butterfly in New York can create a storm at a dinner party in Islington.

You've seen it: the mere rumour of a social butterfly flapping in Las Vegas is enough to create a hurricane in Europe.... :roll: :lol:
