Description: Argues that social and organizational change results from containment behavior in response to fear on the part of elite social groups. Relative power disparities frequently lead to this elite fear. Rather than fight or flight, containment is a significant fear response for both subordinate and elite groups, and when fear is seen to have a social object, the possibility of collective action to remove the source of fear can be recognized.
