“…We began by reading Ashworth (1980), the source for the information about cooperation in the trenches. Axelrod's argument built upon details of the First World War experience, and to study his argument we first immersed ourselves in his source.…”

Abstract. Storytelling has long been recognized as central to human cognition and communication. Here we explore a more active role of stories in social science research, not merely to illustrate concepts but also to develop new ideas and evaluate hypotheses, for example in deciding that a research method is effective. We see stories as central to engagement with the development and evaluation of theories, and we argue that for a story to be useful in this way, it should be anomalous (representing aspects of life that are not well explained by existing models) and immutable (with details that are wellenough established that they have the potential to indicate problems with a new model). We develop these ideas through considering two well-known examples from the work of Karl Weick and Robert Axelrod, and we discuss why transparent sourcing (in the case of Axelrod) makes a story a more effective research tool, whereas plagiarism (in the case of Weick) interferes with the key useful roles of stories in the scientific process.

“…As Ashworth has argued, attitudes varied considerably over time and place and between regiments and not all soldiers subscribed to what might be described as an active and heroic ideology of war. 44 This is an important point for those wishing to comprehend the complexities of the war and men's responses. However, in the context of this article, the importance of the 'live and let alive' mentality and its accompanying soldierly inactivity lies in the tensions that it created for those, like MacGill, who did not subscribe to it.…”
