Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

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),...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

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.

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.

Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

40.8K
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).

Background:

  • Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition causing melanocyte loss.
  • It is associated with psychological distress and psychiatric disorders.
  • Social acceptance is a key concern for vitiligo patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the level of social acceptance in patients diagnosed with vitiligo.
  • To identify demographic and clinical factors influencing social acceptance in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 150 vitiligo patients in Rafsanjan, Iran.
  • Utilized the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale to assess social acceptance.
  • Collected demographic data and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Main Results:

  • The average social acceptance score was 13.51±7.08.
  • Significantly lower social acceptance was observed in females, single individuals, and those with facial/neck lesions.
  • Patients with disease duration under 5 years also reported lower social acceptance.

Conclusions:

  • Certain vitiligo patient subgroups face a higher risk of diminished social acceptance.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted psychosocial support for vulnerable vitiligo patients.
