Propositions

Proposition 1: Dynamic ElementsP1a: Engagement dynamics manifest as changes in the dynamic elements of the engagement concept
P1b: The dynamic elements of the engagement concept are the engagement disposition (capacity, tendency, valence) and the activity of engaging (intensity, dimensions, valence)
Proposition 2: Internally Caused Engagement DynamicsP2a: Changes in the dynamic elements can be caused by the dynamic elements
P2b: The mechanisms underlying the internally caused engagement dynamics are: interaction, crowding-in effect, iteration and spiral effect
Proposition 3: Externally Caused Engagement DynamicsP3a: Changes in the dynamic elements can be caused by external triggers
P3b: External triggers are: the focal object, other engagement objects, other actors and their relationships and/or institutions and institutional arrangements
P3c: The mechanisms underlying the externally caused engagement dynamics are: interaction, spillover and crossover
Proposition 4: Levels of Engagement Dynamics4a: Engagement dynamics can manifest at the individual level (i.e., one actor) and at the collective level (i.e., multiple actors)
4b: Engagement dynamics can manifest across aggregation levels
