Any planned
social
change will have to consider a multitude of factors characteristic for the particular case. The change may require a more or less unique combination of educational and organizational measures; it may depend upon quite different treatments or Ideology, expectation and organization. Still, certain general formal principles always have to be considered.

The present report is a preliminary summary on one phase of a series of experimental studies of group life which has as its aim a scientific approach to such questions as the following : What underlies such differing patterns of group behavior as rebellion against authority, persecution of a scapegoat, apathetic submissiveness to authoritarian domination, or attack upon an outgroup? How may differences in subgroup structure, group stratification, and potency of ego- centered and group-centered goals be utilized as criteria for predicting the
social
resultants of different group atmospheres? Is not democratic group life more pleasant, but authoritarianism more efficient?

The objective of
social
change might concern the nutritional standard of consumption, the economic standard of living, the type of group relation, the output of a factory, the productivity of an educational team. It is important that a
social
standard to be changed does not have the nature of a thing but of a process..

For any type of
social
management, It is of great practical importance that levels of quasi-stationary equilibria can be changed in either of two ways: by adding forces in the desired direction, or by diminishing opposing forces.

A certain area within a channel may function as a gate ; the constellation of the forces before and after the gate region is decisively different in such a way that the passing or not passing of the unit through the whole channel depends to a high degree upon what happens in the gate region. This holds not only for food channels but also for the travelling of a news item through certain communication channels in a group, for movement of goods, and the
social
locomotion of individuals in many organizations.

The survival and development of democracy depends not so much on the development of democratic ideals which are wide-spread and strong. Today, more than ever before, democracy depends upon the development of efficient forms of democratic
social
management and upon the spreading of the skill in such management to the common man.

The research needed for
social
practice can best be characterized as research for
social
management or
social
engineering. It is a type of action research, a comparative research of the conditions and effects of various forms of
social
action, and research leading to
social
action. Research that produces nothing but books will not suffice.
