Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.7K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Bullying

8.9K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.9K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.6K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Social Anxiety Disorder01:28

Social Anxiety Disorder

725
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one might face humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, or negative evaluation. This disorder leads individuals to avoid activities like casual conversations, public speaking, or seemingly simple tasks such as eating, signing documents, or swimming, in public settings. Its impact extends beyond discomfort, often significantly interfering with daily functioning and quality of life.

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

15.0K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Summary

Subtle social hostility is difficult to study. The new SoMi paradigm reveals that people express more social hostility towards foes than friends or strangers, and rivals more than teammates.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Behavioral Economics
  • Interpersonal Dynamics

Background:

  • Overt social hostility is rare; covert expressions are challenging to research.
  • Understanding subtle hostility is crucial for interpersonal and intergroup relations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Social Mindfulness (SoMi) paradigm to measure subtle social hostility.
  • Investigate expressions of social hostility in general population and competitive sports contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the SoMi paradigm, a social decision-making task.
  • Participants chose to leave or limit options for others, indicating mindfulness or hostility.
  • Two studies: general population (friends, strangers, foes) and youth soccer (teammates, rivals).

Main Results:

  • Study 1: Foes elicited significantly greater social hostility compared to friends and strangers.
  • Study 2: Rival team members induced social hostility, while teammates promoted social mindfulness.

Conclusions:

  • Social mindfulness and hostility subtly influence relationships, with choice manipulation as a key indicator.
  • The SoMi paradigm offers a novel method for assessing benevolent versus hostile intentions.
