Cooperative Behavior

Descriptor Spanish:

Conducta Cooperativa

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	conducta cooperativa
Entry term(s)	colaboración conducta de concertación
Scope note:	Un concepto que abarca dos características interrelacionadas de la sociedad: (1) la ausencia de conflictos sociales latentes, ya sea en forma de desigualdad económica, tensiones raciales / étnicas u otras formas de polarización; y (2) la presencia de fuertes vínculos sociales, medidos por los niveles de confianza, las normas de reciprocidad y la abundancia de vínculos cívicos que unen las divisiones en la sociedad. El capital social es un ingrediente crítico de la cohesión social, pero una comunidad puede poseer un fuerte capital social a través de sus miembros individuales sin que esos recursos contribuyan a la cohesión social general (o en el caso de algunos grupos, como el Ku Klux Klan, realmente pueden ser destructivo de la cohesión social en general). Los tipos de recursos sociales enfatizados por el enfoque de cohesión social incluyen: (1) la capacidad de una comunidad para comprometerse en una acción colectiva (eficacia colectiva); (2) la capacidad del grupo para hacer cumplir las normas sociales (control social informal) y (3) la capacidad de la comunidad para expresar solidaridad.

Scope note:

A concept encompassing two inter-related features of society: (1) the absence of latent social conﬂict whether in the form of economic inequality, racial/ethnic tensions or other forms of polarisation; and (2) the presence of strong social bondsmeasured by levels of trust, norms of reciprocity and the abundance of civic ties that bridge divisions in society. Social capital is a critical ingredient of social cohesion, but a community can possess strong social capital through its individual members without those resources contributing to overall social cohesion (or in the case of some groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, they can actually be destructive of social cohesion at large). The types of social resources emphasised by the social cohesion approach include: (1) the ability of a community to engage in collective action (collective efﬁcacy); (2) the ability of the group to enforce social norms (informal social control) and (3) the ability of the community to express solidarity.
