Presenter: John Michael (University of Warwick)
Title: "The Sense of Commitment"
Abstract: The talk provides a starting point for psychological research on the sense of commitment within the context of joint action. I begin by specifying a minimal framework, the core of which is an analysis of the minimal structure of situations which can elicit a sense of commitment. I then propose a way of conceptualizing and operationalizing the sense of commitment, and discuss cognitive and motivational processes which may underpin the sense of commitment. Finally, I present results from ongoing experiments testing hypotheses generated by the framework.
