This session examines the underlying mechanisms that govern human behavior, influence, and organization within small groups. The research bridges individual psychology and macro-social structures, exploring how status hierarchies, power dynamics, and solidarity develop through interaction. Topics include group consensus-formation, conflict navigation, resource distribution, and collective identity development — spanning both face-to-face teams and decentralized digital networks.
