Als Erstes werden die Begriffe Familiendynamik und Gruppendynamik eruiert. Es folgen sozialwissenschaftliche Überlegungen zum Verhältnis der sozialen Gebilde Familie und Gruppe. Gruppendynamik und Familientherapie als Verfahren werden dann als Teil einer Gruppenbewegung beschrieben, die ab den 1920er Jahren entstanden ist. In einem nächsten Schritt werden einige personelle, theoretische und praktische Gemeinsamkeiten der genannten multipersonellen Verfahren beschrieben. Abschließend werden Unterschiede zwischen Gruppendynamik und systemischen Verfahren vor dem Hintergrund allgemeiner Entwicklungen im psychosozialen Bereich beschrieben.

Offering the most comprehensive treatment of groups available, Group Dynamics, sixth edition, combines an emphasis on research, empirical studies supporting theoretical understanding of groups, and extended case studies to illustrate the application of concepts to actual groups. This best-selling book builds each chapter around a real-life case, drawing on examples from a range of disciplines including psychology, law, education, sociology, and political science. Tightly weaving concepts and familiar ideas together, the text takes students beyond simple exposure to basic principles and research findings to a deeper understanding of each topic. ; https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/1004/thumbnail.jpg

This research was conducted to determine the influence of oil price, stocks and exchange rates in Indonesia. The data used in this research is secondary data in the form of time series data stretching from November 2014 to November 2022. The Quantitative research method, which is VAR (Vector Autoregressive) was used to test and analyze hypotheses with measurable data to obtain parameters from the variables' influence. The study's results found that oil prices significantly influenced Indonesia's stock prices decline. Oil on the exchange rate was also significant, meaning last month's oil prices affected the exchange rate this month, and there was a depreciation. Still, the exchange rate was not significant for stock prices.

In urban analytics, 'crowding' implies the spatiotemporal distributional unevenness of people's stays and flows in middle-scale urban spaces, and has since become an emerging keyword, attracting not only practical interests but also research interests, especially in the current IoT devised downtown. This book presents a collection of papers on a series of exploratory studies on the rise and fall of downtowns (Downtown Dynamics), which the author's group has been working on with the aim of constructing an artificial society that contributes to the planning and management of crowds by developing Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS). In particular, the book includes (1) an analysis of 20 years' worth of survey data on visitors' shopping-around behavior for Osu district in Nagoya city, as a representative Japanese downtown, (2) correlation analyses of spatial distributions between Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA) as a "visibility index" and crowding in middle scale urban spaces, (3) agent modeling of visitors' shopping-around behavior and construction of the Downtown Dynamics Model as an artificial society, and (4) modeling of the vision-driven agent as a "crowd generator" and its applicability to spatial design and sign layout in urban spaces. The book also includes a novel research program derived from complexity system science that provides new approaches to Agent-Based Modeling (ABM), social simulation, regional sciences, geo-informatics, and urban planning studies for researchers and graduate students, as well as planning scientists and practitioners such as town managers and planners who are concerned with downtown revitalization. .

Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This text examines both the spread and impact dynamics of invasive species, placing the science of invasion biology on a new, more rigorous, theoretical footing, and proposing a concept of adaptive networks as the foundation for future research. Biological invasions are considered not as simple actions of invaders and reactions of invaded ecosystems, but as co-evolving complex adaptive systems with emergent features of network complexity and invasibility. 'Invasion Dynamics' focuses on the ecology of invasive species and their impacts in recipient social-ecological systems.

Status among peers has been one of the central themes of peer relations research for decades. While the topic has been extensively researched in the Western European and North American literature, less is known about such dynamics in 'non-Western' contexts. The paper intends to address this gap by analyzing the status dynamics related to the two most frequently investigated dimensions of status – popularity and acceptance – in a Hungarian, ethnically diverse, longitudinal primary school database. Additionally, we apply a novel multilevel regression model, the within-between random effects model (Bell et al., 2019), which combines the strengths of fixed- and random-effects models and makes the decomposition of within-individual and between-individual effects possible. The paper analyses the first four waves of the panel dataset (N of observations = 4441, N of individuals = 1313). Most of our results are in line with the Western European literature, highlighting the important role of being good at sports, verbal aggression, being considered smart, and physical appearance. With regard to ethnic differences, our results show ethnicized patterns in the relationship between aggression and popularity.
