Generating the Benefits
Reviewing
Step 1: This emphasized and formulated the difference amongst people in regard to what would benefit them in their social life and how to get it.
Step 2: This used a TET 2×2 Table, which differentiated the essences of the 7 .
Step 3: The diagram permitted us to see all simultaneously. This is precisely what is required within any group project, an organization or a community, because all approaches generate different significant benefits.
We have broadly answered the big question: What does each mentality count as a benefit?
We know that the and well-being diagonal sets reveal distinct values, attitudes, behaviours and institutions intrinsic to benefiting from interaction.
Anticipating
Step 4, we must:
-
understand those benefits in more detail,
and
- grasp implications of pursuing those benefits.
In all types of benefit and all requirements for success, the concerns are handled distinctively by each diagonal set, as well as by each mentality within that set—either for the better or for the worse.
TOP NOTE: The items below list topics to be covered in Step 4; all topics will be unpacked and explained with diagrams.
Personal and Societal Benefits
When dealing with others, we mainly strive to be safe and to have autonomy:
- Autonomy = the sense and practice of freedom of action
- Protection = the sense and the reality of personal safety from harm
- For the set, autonomy is more important than security and self-protection.
- For the Well-being set, self-protection is more important than autonomy.
The general community values individual interactions in terms of its contribution to specific values and to social cohesion and stability:
- Production = creating social goods—material, organisational, conceptual or spiritual
- Cohesion = supporting the comprehensive, genuine and peaceful integration of all members
- For the set, production is more important than cohesion.
- For the Well-being set, cohesion is more important than production.
Requirements to Reap the Benefits
- Responsibility and Rationality are needed:
- for , &
- for .
- Authority and Stability are needed:
- for individual well-being, &
- for managing change.
- Reduction of Risk is provided:
- in the set by specialisation and focus, &
- in the Well-being set by attention to others and to the group.
- Effective Perception is provided:
- in the set: by objectivity and balance.
- in the Well-being set: by subjectivity and responsiveness.
-
Neutral, positive and negative psychological states in each exert powerful effects.
- Inner Experiences:
- Type of feeling preferred and generated
- Self-boundaries with reactions to these
- Identity-relevant interactional states.
-
efforts benefit from invigoration and are harmed by demoralisation.
-
Well-being efforts benefit from integration and are harmed by hostility.
- Start with autonomy as a personal benefit.
