A Configuration Approach to Mindset Agency Theory from Part I - Cybernetic Sociopsychology and Agency
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2021
Here we shall formulate some basics that enable an exercise in configurations to be developed. This will differentiate between normal and post-normal situations, the former representing equilibrium and the latter non-equilibrium conditions. This is important to understand since it can help determine why certain schemas might work or not. This is elaborated on by distinguishing between classifications of domains or ‘universes’ that determine the broad characteristics that represent different types of schema. This is expanded on by discussing schemas and theoretical structures and their interconnectability. Following this, Agency Theory is introduced as a general framework into which different configurative schemas can be introduced, and its capacity to represent complexity. Then, it is explained how Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), taken as a theoretical configuration, can be connected into Agency Theory superstructure.
