Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

20.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

29.3K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Conformity01:20

Conformity

32.5K
Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

22.4K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

37.0K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Schemas01:42

Schemas

10.8K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Social sciences, focusing on research methodology and agent-based modeling.

Background:

  • Bentley and colleagues proposed a map with two key dimensions for analyzing agent behavior.
  • The "looping effect" in social research describes how investigation outcomes influence the subjects studied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address ambiguities in the dimensions of Bentley et al.'s map.
  • To clarify the role of self-reflection in agent behavior within social research.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the dimensions proposed by Bentley et al.
  • Examination of the "looping effect" as a form of agent self-reflection.

Main Results:

  • Identified ambiguities in the interpretation of the two primary dimensions of Bentley et al.'s map.
  • Proposed that agent self-reflection, a variant of the "looping effect," can be conceptualized as a "height" dimension.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed "height" dimension offers a novel way to understand self-reflection in agent-based social research.
  • Clarifying these dimensions enhances the applicability of Bentley et al.'s map in social science research.
