True to the nature of nonlinear change, the traditional approach has become destabilized due to internal incoherence and is giving way to new paradigms that promise greater coherence, precision, and generalizability in capturing the nature of human experience. This phase transition is due in large part to the advent of sophisticated methods and tools (e.g., computer simulations, time series). I will highlight a tool developed in my lab that captures the internally generated (“intrinsic”) patterns of psychological processes, and describe new insights into the dynamics of self-evaluation, social judgment, close relations, and intractable conflict revealed by this tool. I will conclude by proposing how the nonlinear dynamical systems approach may provide integration for the diverse subject matter of social psychology.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 0.3in; "><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; "><b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Robin Vallacher</span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is a professor of Psychology, Florida Atlantic University, and a visiting scholar at University of Bern, Switzerland, and Max-Planck-Institute for Psychological Research in Munich, and the Center for Complex Systems, Warsaw University. Dr. Vallacher has investigated a wide variety of topics, from principles of social cognition, action identification, and self-concept, to issues in social justice, social change, and international conflict. His current work employs a dynamical systems framework to identify the invariant properties underlying these phenomena. Using experimentation and computer simulations, he and his colleagues have been investigating the dynamic underpinnings of self-regulation, social judgment, close relations, inter-group conflict, and the emergence of personality from social interaction. Dr. Vallacher has published several books, including two with Andrzej Nowak that develop the implications of dynamical systems for social psychology.
