520 $a This study is concerned with the process of maintaining social order. It uses classic grounded theory methodology as outlined by Glaser and Strauss (1967). This methodology attempts to conceptualize the patterns of behavior in a substantive area in order to locate a core variable that accounts for the most variation among concepts. It is an inductive method that involves the collection of data that are coded and then compared with other data until a theory emerges. Data for this study came from over 20 formal interviews, numerous informal ones, and extensive observations in and outside of the substantive area which was the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos).
520 $a The theory of maintaining order details the process social systems utilize to maintain stability, structure, and hierarchy, so that they can remain secure, viable entities. Maintaining order is a basic social-psychological process that allows members of a social system to exist within an environment that is conducive to success; that follows the main edicts of the system: its factors of purpose.
520 $a The stages of the process are defining, fortifying, obviating, and resolving. The defining stage accounts for the creation and refinement of the factors of purpose. The fortifying stage strengthens members' attachment to its factors of purpose, while during the obviating stage conflicts are either averted or defused. Finally, the resolving stage is utilized to clear conflicts or to neutralize offenders.
520 $a This study attempts to explicate the patterns of interaction rooted in the process of maintaining a social system's order. In its outline of these complex behaviors it may offer insights into the functions of this process that could possibly lead to changes in how members perceive issues connected to power and culture which help to shape a social system's relation to order.
