| contents | <p><span>The "<strong>value-action gap</strong>"—the pervasive phenomenon wherein individuals hold strong normative beliefs yet fail to act upon them—remains a persistent theoretical challenge across the social sciences. While traditional sociological frameworks offer profound insights into long-term behavioural reproduction, they frequently struggle to account for the rapid, context-dependent fluidity of modern human action. To address this theoretical void, this paper introduces <strong>Integrated Contextual Practice Theory (ICPT)</strong>, an exploratory mid-range socio-mathematical framework. By conceptualizing the human actor as an "<strong>Adaptive Agent</strong>," ICPT models behaviour as a real-time negotiation between internal dispositions (Habitus, Values, Identity), a bounding Cultural Governor (<strong>C</strong>), and external structural friction Contextual Stress, (<strong>Cs</strong>). The framework operationalizes this dynamic through five distinct behavioural typologies or "Decision Gates" (<strong>Loyal, Survival, and Show-off, Culturally Vetoed</strong>, and <strong>Culturally Resisted</strong> modes). Shared as a collaborative conceptual baseline rather than a deterministic law, ICPT aims to shift analytical focus from individual moral hypocrisy toward structural empathy, providing a shared vocabulary for interdisciplinary empirical testing.</span></p> |
