Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
The papers in this session tackle the central question of how to explain social action. In doing so, they engage with theories of action, cultural sociology, and socio-cognitive research. What is the role of the self, identity, or reflexivity in individual action? To what extent do motivation, expectations, and accounts inform lines of action? These are some of the main questions addressed in the papers.
