Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

287
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Personal Identity01:25

Personal Identity

643
Personal identity is the deeply felt sense of self that individuals cultivate over time, intricately woven from intrinsic qualities they consider essential to their existence—qualities such as morality, intelligence, and friendliness. These attributes serve as vital internal benchmarks, guiding individuals in evaluating whether their actions resonate with their true selves.When personal identity takes center stage in one's life, individuals often emphasize their distinctiveness,...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

57.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Actor-Observer Effect01:23

Actor-Observer Effect

554
The actor-observer effect, a cognitive bias closely linked to the fundamental attribution error, refers to the tendency for individuals to attribute their behavior to external, situational factors while explaining others’ behavior in terms of internal, dispositional traits. This asymmetry in attribution significantly influences social perception and judgment.Cognitive Mechanisms Behind the EffectTwo primary psychological mechanisms contribute to the actor-observer effect: differences in...

Carl Rogers' Humanistic Perspective on Personality

2.5K
Carl Rogers, a key figure in humanistic psychology, believed that individuals possess an innate potential for growth and fulfillment. According to his model of personality, three significant components define an individual: the organism, the self, and conditions of worth.
The organism refers to an individual's inherent blueprint, which Rogers saw as innately positive and directed toward helping others, unlike Freud's view of the id as driven by base impulses. The self is a person's...

Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

293
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...

Summary

This study explored how intermediate robotic hand movements affect the human sense of agency (SoA). Results show altered embodiment influences SoA, but intermediate events do not reduce it.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Humans experience a sense of agency (SoA) even with indirect action-outcome links.
  • Investigating intermediate events' impact on SoA is crucial for understanding agency perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how intermediate robotic hand movements alter the sense of agency.
  • To assess the influence of altered embodiment on SoA using intentional binding.

Main Methods:

  • Participants' SoA was measured using intentional binding.
  • A robotic hand performed congruent or incongruent movements relative to the participant's action.
  • Comparison between conditions with and without robotic intervention.

Main Results:

  • Intentional binding was significantly reduced in the active incongruent condition compared to the active congruent condition.
  • Binding effects were similar when the robot hand moved congruently versus when no robot was involved.
  • Altered embodiment, not intermediate events, influenced SoA.

Conclusions:

  • Human sense of agency relies on statistical associations and effector-specific sensorimotor matching.
  • Intermediate and embodied events do not necessarily diminish the sense of agency.
  • Robotic embodiment plays a key role in modulating the perception of agency.
