No matter if a man finds himself at home, in the street, or in a place of amusement, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training.

(2010): Immanent Non-Algorithmic Rules: An Ontological Study of Social Rules. In: Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 40 (3), S. 289-313. DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-5914.2009.00426.x
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-5914.2009.00426.x Abstract: The notion of rule seems to be almost as contested as it is central to the social sciences. Whereas classic works of sociology tend to consider rules as a central concept of sociological analysis (Durkheim 1982/1894; Giddens 1984; 1979; Parsons 1964/1951; Weber 1978/1922), ethnomethodologists criticize their taken‐for‐grantedness and propose rather to view the continuous reproduction of rules as a problematic topic of enquiry (Douglas 1971; Garfinkel 1967; Heritage 1984; Zimmerman 1971). As Garfinkel puts it: [functionalist] social science theorists . . . have used the fact of standardization to conceive the character and consequences of actions that comply with standardized expectancies. Generally they have acknowledged but otherwise neglected the fact that by these same actions persons discover, create and sustain this standardization.

(2009): The Function of Decorum at the Present Time. Manners, Moral Language, and Modernity in ’an Oscar Wilde Play’. In: MODERN DRAMA 52 (2), S. 145-167
Abstract: In the distinctive, epigrammatic idiom of his society comedies, where dialogue is shaped by the formulae of conventional instructional maxims about what one should and shouldn't do, Oscar Wilde inverts and aestheticizes the assumed ethical basis of a code of conduct that relies on the language of decorum. His drama suggestively articulates a considerable degree of slippage between manners, on the one hand, and morals, on the other. This essay argues, in fact, that Wildean aphoristic speech playfully rewrites late-Victorian etiquette literature, exploiting the ironic distance between moral assumptions and a more formulaic reality.

(2007): REVISITING RULES. AN ONTOLOGICAL STUDY OF SOCIAL RULES. In: Academy of Management Proceedings (1), S. 1-6. DOI: 10.5465/ambpp.2007.26530294
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5465/ambpp.2007.26530294 Abstract: The article discusses the concept of rules as used in sociological studies, focusing on the categorization of types of rules and addressing an ethnomethodological debate over whether rules can be usefully distinguished from actions. An argument using retroductive reasoning is presented and an explanation of the salient features of retroduction are provided. The concept of rules as immanent and implicit or tacit within actions is discussed and contrasted with an algorithmic rules paradigm. An illustration involving improvised jazz music is provided.

(2006): Breaking the rules of the game. Ethical implications for nursing practice and education. In: Nursing Science Quarterly 19 (3), S. 207-210
Abstract: Rules in games are fundamental to the ethics of practice. Rules provide a context or space where a game is defined and played. Throughout human life, games may be formalized with written and unwritten rules. Imaginations may be sparked in the creative structuring of new, informal games. Formal and informal rules can serve to provide direction for what may be viewed as decorum and appropriate behavior with professional groups. In this column, the author illuminates possible ethical meanings for rule-making and breaking with implications for nursing practice and education from a nursing theoretical perspective.

(2006): Jane Austen's guide to good manners. Compliments, charades & horrible blunders. New York: Bloomsbury
Abstract: Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners is a light-hearted, insightful handbook written as if intended for her original Regency Era readers, and illustrated throughout with beautiful watercolors. When Anna, Jane Austen's young niece, sent her a novel for ""literary comment," Jane loved everything about it, except its utter disregard for the manners of the day. The resulting and tender correspondence between the two serves as the foundation for this instructional book. Etiquette and social behavior of the early 1800s come to life in lovely chapters teaching one on how to pay and return formal "calls," how to properly refuse a proposal of marriage, who should lead off the dancing at a country-house ball, and what to wear for a morning walk. Jane Austen used these daily customs and niceties to brilliantly illuminate the cloistered world of high society women in her timeless novels. Now with this delightful handbook of correct social behavior, readers will learn just why Mrs. Bennet of Pride and Prejudice couldn't call alone on her new, rich, bachelor neighbor and had to force the reluctant Mr. Bennet to do so...even as he uttered "Tis an etiquette I despise." An indispensable gift for any Austen fan, this beautiful book will prove irresistible to anyone wishing to go back in time to the atmosphere of their favorite Austen novels. Henrietta Webb is the co-creator of Bad Hair. Josephine Ross has written a number of books including, most recently, Jane Austen: A Companion, published in England by Austen's original publisher John Murray.

(2004): A conceptual review of decision making in social dilemmas. Applying a logic of appropriateness. In: Personality and social psychology review: An official journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc 8 (3), S. 281-307. DOI: 10.1207/s15327957pspr0803_4
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15454350 Abstract: Despite decades of experimental social dilemma research, "theoretical integration has proven elusive" (Smithson & Foddy, 1999, p. 14). To advance a theory of decision making in social dilemmas, this article provides a conceptual review of the literature that applies a "logic of appropriateness" (March, 1994) framework. The appropriateness framework suggests that people making decisions ask themselves (explicitly or implicitly), "What does a person like me do in a situation like this? " This question identifies 3 significant factors: recognition and classification of the kind of situation encountered, the identity of the individual making the decision, and the application of rules or heuristics in guiding behavioral choice. In contrast with dominant rational choice models, the appropriateness framework proposed accommodates the inherently social nature of social dilemmas, and the role of rule and heuristic based processing. Implications for the interpretation of past findings and the direction of future research are discussed.

(1998): Der Einfluß personaler und interaktiver Kontextinformationen auf die Diagnose und Bewertung argumentativer (Un-)Integrität. In: Sprache & Kognition 17 (3), S. 107-124
Abstract: Starting with the empirically well established assumption that the evaluation of an argument as unfair requires the presence of an argumentational rule violation as well as some degree of intentionality (two basic components of the unfairness verdict), we tested in two quasi-experimental designs, if and how selected context variables modify the weight of an (un-)fairness evaluation (attribution of intentionality and guilt). Our results show that the conditions "excuses" and "no excuses", "good intents" and "bad intents" "high competence (of the speaker)" and "low competence" proved to be most effective. On a more general level our study gives evidence that the evaluation of argumentational (un-)fairness depends on the two basic components as long as no further context variables are present. If, however, context variables become salient, the (un-)fairness evaluations are modified in a guilt-increasing or guilt-decreasing manner.

(1997): Autour de la notion de manuel. In: Romantisme 27 (96), S. 17-29. DOI: 10.3406/roman.1997.3203
Abstract: Englischer Titel laut WoS: Good manners and politeness manuals from the Middle Ages to the present Français L'article étudie l'apparition et la signification du mot manuel dans la bibliographie française des ouvrages consacrés à la politesse et au savoir-vivre du Moyen Age à nos jours. La lutte « arme au poing » est au cœur de la définition du mot, du Manuel d'Epictète au Poignard du soldat chrétien d'Erasme. Avant le début du XIXe siècle, le mot apparaît peu, mais, dès 1820, il correspond à un ouvrage pratique, à la portée de tous, laïcisé, relevant d'un domaine précis. Cette importance correspond aux nouvelles exigences sociales : l'homme du monde est un nouveau militant qui lutte, arme au poing, pour être reconnu par les autres et accepté dans le monde. English: This paper aims to define when the word manuel first appeared, what it means in the bibliography of French literature primarily concerned with politness and good manners, from the Middle Ages to this day. The original notion is that of a fight with an armed hand, a widespread notion from Epictetus's Manuel to Erasmus's the Christian fighter's dagger. There is little mention of the word until the early 19th-century. But as early as 1820, it applies to a volume meant for practical usage, easily readable, no longer serving religious purposes and dealing with a specific field of interest. An important function born of society's new requirements. To day 's, new man of action is armed with a manuel and he fights to gain acceptance and recognition from his fellow creatures.
