Social Proof00:52

Social Proof

32.4K
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

26.9K
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...

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.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.7K
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. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). 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).

Area of Science:

  • Social Work
  • Health Informatics
  • Behavioral Health

Background:

  • Current social work relies heavily on therapist intuition, lacking objective performance data.
  • There is a significant gap in real-time metrics for patient outcomes and therapist effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel performance-based practice model for social work.
  • To outline a future vision for social services integrating technology for real-time interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptualizing a shift from traditional office-based therapy to community-integrated, technology-enabled services.
  • Advocating for the use of real-time measurement and intervention tools by therapists.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model transforms social service facilities into technology centers.
  • Therapists will utilize data-driven tools for immediate patient assessment and support.

Conclusions:

  • Recovery and learning are best facilitated within communities, not solely in therapist offices.
  • The New Social Work model enhances therapist performance through real-time, in-the-moment support and data.
