Collective Strategy Condensation: When Envy Splits Societies

Human societies are characterized by three constituent features, besides others. (A) Options, as for jobs and societal positions, differ with respect to their associated monetary and non-monetary payoffs. (B) Competition leads to reduced payoffs when individuals compete for the same option as others. (C) People care about how they are doing relatively to others. The latter trait—the propensity to compare one’s own success with that of others—expresses itself as envy. It is shown that the combination of (A)–(C) leads to spontaneous class stratification. Societies of agents split endogenously into two social classes, an upper and a lower class, when envy becomes relevant. A comprehensive analysis of the Nash equilibria characterizing a basic reference game is presented. Class separation is due to the condensation of the strategies of lower-class agents, which play an identical mixed strategy. Upper-class agents do not condense, following individualist pure strategies. The model and results are size-consistent, holding for arbitrary large numbers of agents and options. Analytic results are confirmed by extensive numerical simulations. An analogy to interacting confined classical particles is discussed.

Academic maturity of students in an extended programme in mathematics

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the students who are registered in the University of Pretoria’s academic development programme, named the Four-year Programme (FYP). The programme was introduced as a gateway for students who are underprepared but have the potential to succeed and then continue their studies into the mainstream science programmes. Our research focuses on measuring the change in the academic maturity of these students. In the theoretical framework that we developed, academic maturity is subdivided into two components namely non-subject based maturity and subject based maturity (mathematical maturity). This paper focuses on measuring non-subject based academic maturity. The survey used for this purpose is called the Student Academic Readiness Survey (STARS), taken at the beginning of the year and after the first semester respectively. The results of the surveys are compared to measure the change in students’ views. Results show that in all constructs there is a surprising decline in students’ perceptions regarding their own abilities over the first semester at university. We use the Dunning–Kruger effect to explain this unexpected decline, in that students seem to develop a more realistic view of their own maturity, which in itself can be seen as a growth in academic maturity.     

治理理论视角下高等教育管理的社会参与

我国高等教育管理权曾一度为政府所控制，社会力量很少能够参与到高等教育管理中来。公共行政领域的治理理论，为社会参与高等教育管理提供了理论依据。实现高等教育管理的社会参与，不仅有待于社会力量的积极发展和完善，而且政府和高校也要主动吸收社会力量参与管理。     

军事用语语义泛化缘由探析

军事用语语义泛化的原因主要有两点:一是从语言系统外部来看:主要与语用环境的相似、言语修辞活动、言语交际中的心理因素等社会文化语用条件有关联;二是从语言系统内部来看,主要与语言的经济性原则密切相关。

自我价值观与集体主义

马克思主义自我价值观,强调人的自我实现是历史的、社会的. 只有把自我实现与社会发展统一起来,才能实现自我、完善自我. 同时,实现个人的自我价值离不开集体和社会. 只有在集体中,个人才能获得全面发展其才能的手段,才可能有个人的自由.
