چکیده
A theory of social communication is developed to explain (he endogenous processes by which stable organization is achieved in social collectives. The theory shows how two orders of social relations, fl/lx (the distribution of energy) and ("amral (spati:ll and temporal conslmints on behavior) activate the potential energy of the collective's members-their cap:lcity for physical and social behavior-and directs the expenditure of this energy towards collective ends. The work is divided into two parts and begins inductively. in Part I, with an empirical analysis using, existing data from a longitudin:ll study of 46 social colleclives. Sociometric measures of flUll and control are developed :lnd their relationship to stahility (group surviv:ll) is investigated. Results from statistical analyses, including multivariate discriminant analysis. show that the interaction between the two relational orders is a strong predictor of stahility, while me:lsures of the collective's normative :lnd structural organization and of the members' social characteristics have no predictive power. Building on these results. Part 2 draws on the concepts of energy and information from the natural sciences to show how the interaction hetween flUll and control operates as an information processing system. The interaction between the two. orders effects stability by gathering und comnlllnicaling information ahout inlernal organization throughout the collective. The interaction informs (gives shupe to) lhe memhers' expendilure of energy and results in sl:lhle, effective collective organization. The work concludes wilh u lheoretical model lhat shows how dilTerent pllllems of endogenous communication. different configurations of flux and conlrol. produce various slales of functional and dysfunctional organization.
