  1. Micro-foundations of Social Networks Part I Making behavioral theories more complex Siegwart Lindenberg ICS / Department of Sociology University of Groningen The Netherlands Lindenberg

  2. Model building • Methodological individualism: actor orientation • Method of decreasing abstraction • Principle of sufficient complexity Lindenberg

  3. Interdependencies • Structural (theories on generator properties of relations) • Cognitive (theories on framing and categorization) • Functional (theories on goals and goal achievement) Lindenberg

  4. Physical well-being Social well-being Stimulation Comfort Status Behavioral confirmation Affection Theory of goals and goal achievement Own production is central Fig. 1: Substantive goals Lindenberg

  5. Fig.2: Operational goals To improve one’s position Improve quality of one’s production function Improve one’s feelings Act appropiately Reduction of incompatibility Multi-functionality Search, substitution, investment Lindenberg

  6. Theory of framing Framing: cognitive steering by goals through attention Schematic depiction of foreground (blank) and background (gray) goals in framing, with (from left to right) decreasing salience that leads to a frame switch Lindenberg

  7. Operational goal “To improve one’s condition” Operational subgoal “To improve one’s feeling” (Hedonic frame) Operational subgoal “To improve one’s scarce resources” (Gain frame) Subgoal “To act appropriately” (Normative frame) Goals and frames combined: Master frames The three master frames in their relation to the main operational goal: Veil Lindenberg

  8. Theory of structure generation • By product of resources and goal realization • Externalities and control • Joint production (with transitivity and similarity) Lindenberg

  9. Networks and groups • (Joint) production of well-being: • Dyadic • In groups • Dyads in groups • Structure of intergroup relations: networks of groups and groups of networks Lindenberg
