Conceptualizing social science paradoxes using the diversity and similarity curves model: Illustrations from the work/play and theory novelty/continuity paradoxes

The diversity and similarity curves (DSC) model is used to capture the interactive effects of dual paradoxes associated with work/play and job stress/task creativity. The DSC model allows representing the interactive effects of different permutations of theory novelty/continuity on perceived theory complexity and theory assimilation.
