Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

269
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Social Exchange Theory

40.9K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social Exchange Theory01:26

Social Exchange Theory

703
As formulated by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley, Social Exchange Theory explains human relationships as economic-like exchanges that maximize rewards and minimize costs. This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...

Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

21.4K
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

306
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Area of Science:

  • Systems ecology
  • Social-ecological systems research
  • Sustainability science

Background:

  • Human wellbeing is intrinsically tied to societal and environmental health, necessitating a holistic approach.
  • Systems biology offers potential for medical advances, but its principles extend to understanding complex social-ecological systems.
  • Islands provide scientifically manageable environments for studying these intricate interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the IDEA Consortium, an open science initiative focused on systems ecology.
  • To develop use-oriented simulations (avatars) of entire social-ecological systems.
  • To initiate research on Moorea, French Polynesia, as a model system for sustainability simulation.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing a systems ecology approach to study social-ecological dynamics.
  • Developing integrated simulations of climate, environment, biodiversity, and human activities.
  • Focusing on a coupled marine-terrestrial landscape in Moorea.

Main Results:

  • The Moorea IDEA project will create a sustainability simulator.
  • The simulator will model complex feedbacks between natural and human systems.
  • This research will yield transferable knowledge and tools for prediction.

Conclusions:

  • The Moorea IDEA initiative will enhance the ability to predict human and environmental changes.
  • Findings will support management and conservation actions at relevant scales.
  • This work advances the application of systems science to sustainability challenges.
