individual humans theme

Notes

We distinguish between "individual humans", "humans in pairs", and "humans in groups" with reference to whose experiences are relevant to the thematic idea that is being expressed. For example "coping with problematic people" clearly implies the presence of two or more people but the theme is only concerned with the experiences of a single observer at a time. "romantic relationship", on the other hand, is a category of themes that most often examine the interaction between two people and discuss both their experiences simultaneously. Likewise "humans in group" imply themes that examine the constitution of a whole group of people, for example the idea that "lack of trust can lead to group dysfunction."
