Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

588
Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)

1.6K
Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...

Rate-Determining Steps

Relating Reaction Mechanisms
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...

Cognition and Behavior01:23

Cognition and Behavior

380
Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Psychological Modeling
  • Computational Statistics

Background:

  • Human behavior frequently exhibits abrupt shifts, influenced by internal factors like rule changes or external events.
  • Detecting change points in binary data is a known statistical challenge, yet underutilized in psychological research.
  • Existing methods often lack the flexibility needed for complex cognitive modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a flexible Bayesian graphical model for detecting change points in human behavioral data.
  • To infer the quantity and precise locations of change points within cognitive sequences.
  • To extend the model for latent-mixture and hierarchical structures in cognitive modeling.

Main Methods:

  • A Bayesian approach implemented as a graphical model in JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler).
  • The model infers the number and location of change points directly from the data.
  • Extensions include latent-mixture models for discrete vs. incremental learning and hierarchical models for group data.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully identified change points in the classic Lindisfarne scribes problem.
  • A latent-mixture extension accurately distinguished between incremental and discrete category learning.
  • A hierarchical model effectively analyzed crowd-sourced predictions, demonstrating broad applicability.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Bayesian graphical model offers a powerful and adaptable tool for analyzing step changes in cognitive data.
  • The model's flexibility allows for tailored applications in diverse psychological research areas.
  • This approach enhances the statistical rigor and explanatory power of cognitive models.
