and introduces a new research approach—the minimal society paradigm—and a modeling strategy, principle-oriented modeling. This framework integrates ABM into psychological research, supporting both theory building through minimal societies and adaptation to specific contexts.

The paper compares micro-mechanism-driven and macro-pattern-driven ABM paradigms.

Those benefits accrue from a resonance between how they approach questions and the questions they ask. For example, both social psychology and ABM rely on experiments to explore how individual interactions generate collective phenomena.

This paper describes seven potential benefits of incorporating agent-based modeling (ABM) as a core research methodology for psychological research on social phenomena.

We adapted the indirect minority influence model (Jung et al., 2018; 2021) to organizational collaboration contexts.
