“…Hunt (2010) found that participants in a jam band subculture who had more friends and emotional investment in the subculture rated jam band-relevant behaviors (like "barter" and "follow a band") more positively on evaluation and potency. Friedkin and Johnsen (2003) suggest that this subcultural variation in EPA ratings exists because individuals are influenced by observation of and contact with significant others.…”

“…Thus, while we are careful to avoid causal language, and despite the study's methodological shortcomings, our symbolic interactionist and subcultural approach contributes to understanding of the general and personal denial and neutralization of sexual violence on college campuses. Future longitudinal approaches not only could increase understanding of how involvement in rape-prone environments informs specific behavior and attitudes but would push social psychological theories forward to better explain the spread of fundamental sentiments and deviant values through subcultural networks using mathematical, predictive models (Boyle 2015;Friedkin and Johnsen 2003).…”

“…One class of heterogeneous agent models that fits well for this aim are social network models derived from social influence theory (Friedkin and Johnsen 1990;2003). This class of models is described by the following dynamic process: Under what conditions is the social influence process in (14) …”

We show that the Matthew effect, or Matthew mechanism, was present in the artificial cultural market Music Lab when social influence between individuals was allowed, whereas this was not the case when social influence was not allowed. We also sketch on a class of social network models, derived from social influence theory, that may generate the Matthew effect. Thus, we propose a theoretical framework that may explain why the most popular songs were much more popular, and the least popular songs were much less popular, than when disallowing social influence between individuals.

“…Willer and his colleagues (Bell, Walker, and Willer 2000;Willer, Lovaglia, and Markovsky 1997) have undertaken research that seeks to interrelate elements of expectation states theory and elements of Zelditch and Walker's legitimation program with those in elementary theory. Still more recently, Friedkin and Johnsen (2003) have sought to theoretically link their social influence network theory with Berger et al's expectation states theory and Heise et al's affect control theory. We suspect that this type of research that aims at interrelating and integrating across the different research programs that already exist in our field has only just begun.…”

Sociological Theory

Some sociologists argue that sociological theory does not grow and the reason why it does not grow is that the discipline lacks a core of highly developed, almost universally accepted, paradigms; even worse, because it is reflexive, its criteria of problem and theory choice are so noncognitive that there are no paradigms, hence no progress, in its future. We do not question that sociology lacks a core of almost universally accepted paradigms, nor that highly developed paradigms may be a sufficient condition of theory growth, but we question both that universal acceptance of them is necessary and that sociology has nothing like them. We argue that theoretical research programs-sets of strategies, sets of interrelated theories embodying these strategies, and empirical models interpreting these theories-are sufficient for theoretical growth. An examination of three theoretical research programs in this article shows that they perform some of the same functions for theory growth as, in Kuhn, are performed by paradigms. Sociology may lack a universally accepted core, but there are theoretical research programs in sociology, and therefore already there is theory growth if it is looked for in the right place. Nor is there any warrant for the view that because its criteria of problem and theory choice are inescapably noncognitive, there are no paradigms, hence no progress, in sociology's future. If that were true, not only would sociology lack paradigms, but also theoretical research programs. We conclude from our study that sociology need not wait on the emergence of a universally accepted core. It is sufficient for the growth of theory that it develops further its existing theoretical research programs and that it encourages the creation of new programs.
