i dont know if this is good or bad Vicarious functioning as a human process characteristic
In my opinion, vicarious functioning must be taken as one of several "characteristics of processes" that are typical for Brunswik’s point of view. Such characteristics are of paramount significance in Brunswik's theory because his main scientific interest is focused on the analysis of processes in the transaction between organism and environment. The term "process-characteristic" - as introduced by me - means the critical course of events that is typical of a specific process. Brunswik observed many such characteristics. In addition to vicarious functioning other important Brunswikian process-characteristics are probability, (semi)chaos, entropy and noise, semierratic ecology, equivocality, ambiguity and univocality, balance, redundancy and spuriousness, rivalry and compromise, and, last but not least, the lens model which is considered by me as one of the process-characteristics
