本文的基本观点是，诸如系统身份稳定性和变化（提示，过渡，从一个身份到另一个身份的转换）等结构是主观感知的，并由占据这些系统的社会行为者采取行动。然而，社会生态系统（SES）的研究还没有充分参与这种主观性。我认为，在这里，这种相对缺乏认识的主体性已成为一个“刚性陷阱”的SES学者。主观性是混乱和困难的，并不特别适合作为弹性工作特征的系统观点。因此，这种缺乏参与的情况导致了自我强化的观点，强调某些要素而不强调其他要素，造成了对一些原则的系统性忽视，这些原则可能会有效地挑战现有概念并扩展我们的思维。地方感理论强调意义的创造是系统地分布在整个社会中，它是一种帮助SES研究人员更充分地发挥主观性的机制。
The fundamental point of this paper is that constructs such as system identity stability and changes (tips, transitions, transformations from one identity to another), are subjectively perceived, and acted upon by the social actors that occupy these systems. However, social-ecological systems (SES) research has not yet adequately engaged this subjectivity. I argue, here, that this relative lack of recognition of subjectivity has become a “rigidity trap” for SES scholars. Subjectivity is messy and difficult, and does not fit particularly well within the systems perspectives that characterize resilience work. As such, this lack of engagement has led to self-reinforcing perspectives that emphasize some elements and de-emphasize others, creating a systematic neglect of some principles that might productively challenge existing notions and expand our thinking. Sense of place theory, which emphasizes the creation of meaning as systematically distributed throughout society, is offered as a mechanism for helping SES researchers more fully engage subjectivity.
