Groupthink

50.1K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Social Facilitation

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.

Bystander Effect

10.3K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Perception of motion is influenced by visual context. A vertically moving spot appears to move obliquely when viewed peripherally, aligning with background grating orientation, even when crowding obscures the grating.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • The perception of visual motion is complex and influenced by surrounding stimuli.
  • Peripheral vision plays a crucial role in how we interpret visual information, including motion direction.
  • The phenomenon of visual crowding can alter object recognition and perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how background grating orientation affects the perceived motion path of a vertically moving spot in peripheral vision.
  • To determine if this effect persists even when the grating's orientation is not directly visible due to crowding.

Main Methods:

  • Participants viewed a spot moving vertically across a large background grating with oblique lines.
  • Stimuli were presented in peripheral vision.
  • The effect of visual crowding was induced to obscure the grating's orientation.

Main Results:

  • A vertically moving spot was perceived as moving obliquely, with its perceived path aligning with the background grating's orientation.
  • This motion deflection effect remained significant even under conditions of visual crowding, where the grating's orientation was concealed.

Conclusions:

  • Background visual context, specifically grating orientation, significantly influences perceived motion direction, even in peripheral vision.
  • The influence of contextual orientation on motion perception is robust and not eliminated by visual crowding.
  • This suggests a strong interaction between form and motion processing in the visual system.
