idiosyncratic collage, Idiosyncrasy credit

The Lives They Lived
An annual, idiosyncratic collage of stories about people who died over the last year.

Idiosyncrasy credit^[1] is a concept in social psychology that describes an individual’s capacity to acceptably deviate from group expectations. Idiosyncrasy credits are increased (earned) each time an individual conforms to a group's expectations, and decreased (spent) each time an individual deviates from a group's expectations. Edwin Hollander^[2] originally defined idiosyncrasy credit as “an accumulation of positively disposed impressions residing in the perceptions of relevant others; it is… the degree to which an individual may deviate from the common expectancies of the group". Idiosyncrasy credits are but one of a number of concepts that attempt to explain how some minority views are influential, while others are not^[3] (see Minority influence). Idiosyncrasy credits are also relevant to the study of leadership, as leaders with many credits are often afforded a greater ability to try innovative strategies to meet group goals.

所謂的性格信用（idiosyncrasy credit）是心理學家艾德溫．霍蘭德（Edwin Hollander）所提出的。其意是：和取得者相比，付出者擁有較大的運作空間，就算拒絕他人，也仍保有同事的尊敬。這是由於過去慷慨助人的紀錄，賦予他們所謂的「性格信用」，即使他們未按正規方式行事，也不會受到懲罰。有了性格信用，付出者得以自行針對協助他人的「如何」、「何時」、「誰」，設定各種限制。

謝謝 此概念是一有趣的想法. 上文名詞的翻譯不太理想 請參考
