PREFACE

Advances in Group Processes publishes theoretical analyses, reviews, and theory-based empirical chapters on group phenomena. The series adopts a broad conception of group processes. This includes work on groups ranging from the very small to the very large and on classic and contemporary topics such as status, power, trust, justice, influence, decision making, intergroup relations, and social networks. Previous contributors have included scholars from diverse fields including sociology, psychology, political science, business, philosophy, mathematics, and organizational behavior.

A short anecdote will help communicate the rationale for this special volume on biosociological and neurosociological approaches. When one of us was slated to teach a new graduate seminar focusing on puzzles in social psychology and neuroscience, and when the course schedule finally came out and word began to spread, it was as if the proverbial unwanted party guest had arrived. Questions of concern began to circulate very quickly: What will be taught in this course? Is this really a good idea? Why are we offering this? Do we really want to head in this direction? And at the first department mixer of the semester, the sparks really started to fly. All throughout the evening, there was always at least one clamorous debate taking place about the advantages versus the pitfalls of joining sociology with the biological sciences. For some the marriage of the two no doubt promises better, fuller explanations of human social behavior and organization. For critics the union often means biological reductionism, genetic determinism, and the potential for oppression (or worse), and a sociologist should know better than to teach such perilous nonsense.
