Actions require two essential functions: assessment and locomotion. Assessment determines one's goals and selects the means. Locomotion translates these into concrete behavior. In past work, assessment and locomotion have been portrayed as co-ordinated and interdependent, or associated with different action phases. In contrast, we review recent theorizing and research that depict assessment and locomotion as autonomous and complementary. Recent evidence supports this conception for the behavior of individuals, groups, organizations, and cultures in reference to actions at different levels of analysis. © 2013 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Abstract
Actions require two essential functions: assessment and locomotion. Assessment determines one's goals and selects the means. Locomotion translates these into concrete behavior. In past work, assessment and locomotion have been portrayed as co-ordinated and interdependent, or associated with different action phases. In contrast, we review recent theorizing and research that depict assessment and locomotion as autonomous and complementary. Recent evidence supports this conception for the behavior of individuals, groups, organizations, and cultures in reference to actions at different levels of analysis. © 2013 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
