Why People Cooperate
Any organization's success depends upon the voluntary cooperation of its members. But what motivates people to cooperate? In Why People Cooperate, Tom Tyler challenges the decades-old notion that individuals within groups are primarily motivated by their self-interest. Instead, he demonstrates that human behaviors are influenced by shared attitudes, values, and identities that reflect social connections rather than material interests. Tyler examines employee cooperation in work organizations, resident cooperation with legal authorities responsible for social order in neighborhoods, and citizen cooperation with governmental authorities in political communities. He demonstrates that the main f...
Tom Tyler and His Wife (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Tom Tyler and His Wife The title-page of the quarto of Tom Tyler dated 1661 bears the words The second Impression and informs us that the play was 'prz'm'ed and dcz'ed about a hundred years ago.' Though nothing is now known concerning this earlier edition, there is no reason to doubt the statement, at any rate so far as it refers to the printing. The play is unquestionably an old one for which the printer must have had some early copy. Had his copy been manuscript he would certainly have advertised the piece as new to the press. Moreover the entry Tom tyler. C[omedy]. Occurs in Archer's catalogue of 1656. Kirkman's words imply that the original edition appeared somewhere about t...
Why People Obey the Law
People obey the law if they believe it's legitimate, not because they fear punishment--this is the startling conclusion of Tom Tyler's classic study. Tyler suggests that lawmakers and law enforcers would do much better to make legal systems worthy of respect than to try to instill fear of punishment. He finds that people obey law primarily because they believe in respecting legitimate authority. In his fascinating new afterword, Tyler brings his book up to date by reporting on new research into the relative importance of legal legitimacy and deterrence, and reflects on changes in his own thinking since his book was first published.
Why People Obey the Law
Tyler conducted a longitudinal study of 1,575 Chicago inhabitants to determine why people obey the law. His findings show that the law is obeyed primarily because people believe in respecting legitimate authority, not because they fear punishment. The author concludes that lawmakers and law enforcers would do much better to make legal systems worthy of respect than to try to instill fear of punishment.
Beware This Boy
November, 1940. Tom Tyler, Detective Inspector is a troubled man. He is asked to help out in an inquiry into an explosion in a munitions factory that has killed several of the young women who have taken on dangerous work in support of the war effort. At first, it seems more than likely the explosion was an accident, but as Tom talks to the employees of the factory, the cracks begin to appear.
The Social Psychology of Procedural Justice
We dedicate this book to John Thibaut. He was mentor and personal friend to one of us, and his work had a profound intellectual influence on both of us. We were both strongly influenced by Thibaut's insightful articulation of the importance to psychology of the concept of pro cedural justice and by his empirical work with Laurens Walker in reactions to legal institu demonstrating the role of procedural justice tions. The great importance we accord the Thibaut and Walker work is evident throughout this volume. If anyone person can be said to have created an entire field of inquiry, John Thibaut created the psychological study of procedural justice. (To honor Thibaut thus in no sense reduces o...
