Mechanisms: Coleman Boat Model and Behavioral Examples
Explore the different types of mechanisms such as Transformational, Situational, and Action-formation within the context of Coleman boat model. Learn about situational mechanisms like the definition of the situation and opportunity structures, action-formation mechanisms such as cognitive dissonance and social validation, and transformational mechanisms like markets and self-fulfilling prophecies.

Types of Mechanisms / Coleman boat model Transformational mechanisms Situational mechanisms Action-formation mechanisms
EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONAL MECHANISMS: The definition-of-the-situation ( if men define situations as real they are real in their consequences ; behavior settings and their temptations , provocations, and level of deterrence ( Wikstrom & Sampson, 2003)
EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONAL MECHANISMS: Opportunity structures ( such as a vacancy chain or the openness of communities for burglars) a community s level of its three R s: resources, rules and routines (Wikstrom, 1998)
EXAMPLES OF ACTION-FORMATION MECHANISMS: Cognitive dissonance (i.e. the force to reduce D); innovation diffusion processes (i.e. the force to innovate or not), prisoner games (the force to trust, to accept, to accommodate or to kill ) social capital (the force to bond or not) Social validation of judgments /obedience to authority Relative deprivation (if I move up but s.i s move up quicker, then ) Discounting ( the acceptance rate of losses) Bounded will power ( to know that acting X is dangerous but nevertheless do it) different types of learning behaviour (like vicarious learning) ; propensity ( is primarily made up of specific cognitive and emotional Characteristics that jointly determine morality and self-control ) Sunk costs
EXAMPLES OF TRANSFORMATIONAL MECHANISMS: Markets ( to transfer individual options to larger entities) veto power ( what has been done bottom up , has no effect when there is someone with veto power) Self-fulfilling prophecy (by doing x, the opposite will be realized/ effects pervers ) collective good processes ( when large groups and collective good production is involved, than free rider behaviour will take place, hence no transformation
