Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

27.0K
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 Exchange Theory

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).

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

56.2K
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...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.1K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Social Scripts

10.3K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

  • Assess the subjective processing of daily social experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Psychometric evaluation in non-clinical and clinical samples.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
  • Internal consistency and construct/concurrent validity assessments.

Main Results:

  • A three-factor model of the PCSAQ was supported.
  • The 28-item PCSAQ demonstrated good internal consistency and validity.
  • PCSAQ scores correlated with sense of control, happiness, mood, anxiety, and PTSD severity.

Conclusions:

  • The PCSAQ is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing perceived chronic social adversity.
  • The measure can evaluate negative social experiences and their clinical implications.
  • Findings advance understanding of social adversity's impact on psychological health.
