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),...

Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.3K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

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...

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation

Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.6K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal mental health
  • Social sciences
  • Public health

Background:

  • Perinatal depression is a significant psychiatric concern.
  • Social supportive systems (SSS) are known to mitigate depressive symptoms.
  • The role of SSS in preventing perinatal depression among Chinese women requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the social supportive system (SSS) among pregnant women in Shanghai, China.
  • To identify correlations between specific social support components and perinatal depression.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was administered to 2,000 pregnant women in their second trimester.
  • Descriptive statistics analyzed socio-demographic, perinatal, SSS, and depression data.
  • Correlation analyses examined relationships between factors and perinatal depression.

Main Results:

  • Support from partners, number of accessible friends, and support from colleagues significantly influenced perinatal depression.
  • High-ranking SSS components included partner support, living conditions, and parental support.
  • Low-ranking SSS components were neighborhood support, group activity participation, and number of accessible friends.

Conclusions:

  • Family support, particularly from partners, appears protective against perinatal depression in this population.
  • Understanding social support dynamics is crucial for developing targeted interventions.
  • Enhancing social support should be tailored to individual social network availability.
