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,...

One-Degree-of-Freedom System01:24

One-Degree-of-Freedom System

849
In mechanical engineering, one-degree-of-freedom systems form the basis of a wide range of electrical and mechanical components. Using these models, engineers can predict the behavior of various parts in a larger system, which gives them insight into how different forces interact with each other.
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...

Degrees of Freedom

7.2K
The degree of freedom for a particular statistical calculation is the number of values that are free to vary. Thus, the minimum number of independent numbers can specify a particular statistic. The degrees of freedom differ greatly depending on known and uncalculated statistical components.
For example, suppose there are three unknown numbers whose mean is 10; although we can freely assign values to the first and second numbers, the value of the last number can not be arbitrarily assigned.

Social Proof

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),...

Area of Science:

  • Social Philosophy
  • Political Theory
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Existing defenses of group rights often depend on the concept of group freedom.
  • A comprehensive analysis of group freedom has been lacking.
  • Understanding group freedom is crucial for group rights discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an adequate analysis of the notion of group freedom.
  • To establish a theoretical framework for understanding group rights.
  • To explore the relationship between group rights and individual freedom.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of group freedom.
  • Examination of social categorization processes.
  • Development of a social mechanism account of group rights.

Main Results:

  • Group freedom is best understood through social categorization processes embedded in social mechanisms.
  • These processes create group-specific constraints and enablements.
  • Group rights function as demands for group freedom.

Conclusions:

  • Group rights, as demands for group freedom, can effectively address issues of group unfreedom.
  • Group rights can paradoxically serve to eliminate individual unfreedom.
  • Generic measures may offer optimal solutions for group unfreedom problems.
