The connection between theory and practice is reflected in current research and applications. For example, most intervention programs that tackle the promotion of social competence in adolescents (e.g., Second
Furthermore, even social role theory incorporates the importance of social hierarchy by highlighting that the respective roles played by men and women also tend to differ in the extent to which members of society value them. For example, some have argued that biological differences in strength and...
Another example of a laboratory simulation that has been used to study conflict is the trucking game. In the original research (Deutsch & Krauss, 1960), pairs of women played the trucking game. Each woman was given $4 to begin with and was asked to imagine hers...
Social creativity frequently takes the form of finding alternative characteristics that help the group excel. For example, the students at a college that does not have a particularly good academic standing may look to the superior performance of their sports teams as a way of creating positiv...

We illustrate our conceptually validated design principles by providing an artifact instantiation (i.e., an example from a real system; Gregor and Jones2007) for our theory. In this regard, we describe how our design principles guided the user requirements specification of an MVP of a collaborati...
