Refining Lewin's formula: A general model for explaining situational influence on individual social behavior
The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for individual social behavior, B, that incorporates the contributions of both the personality of the actor, P, and the relevant features of the situation, S, in which he or she is performing.

The impact of leader–follower interactions on the radicalization of terrorists: A case study of the Bali bombers
This article attempts to explain radicalization as a process of interaction between leaders and their followers.

In the case of the Bali bombers, the process was strengthened by external environmental conditions that enabled leaders to gain broad support from the community. In our analysis we rely on a combination of interviews with convicted terrorists and previously unexamined documentary evidence. (Source: Asian Journal Of Social Psychology)
