Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

318
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

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.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

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 Proof00:52

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 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:

  • Robotics and Human-Computer Interaction
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Multiagent coordination is vital for task efficiency and learning.
  • Augmenting social contexts with interactive agents is key in various domains.
  • Effective human-machine interaction (HMI) requires artificial agents to behave naturally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if dynamical motor primitives (DMPs) can model complex multiagent coordination.
  • To assess the effectiveness of HMI using artificial agents in a dyadic task.
  • To determine if artificial agents can exhibit human-like behavior in social contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized dynamical motor primitives (DMPs) to model human multiagent coordination.
  • Employed a complex dyadic shepherding task with virtual sheep.
  • Tested human-human and human-artificial agent dyads in different contexts.

Main Results:

  • Performance in human-artificial agent dyads was equivalent to human-human dyads.
  • Participants in HMI conditions were largely unaware they were interacting with an artificial agent.
  • Demonstrated the isomorphism of human and artificial agent behavior in a complex task.

Conclusions:

  • DMPs can successfully model complex multiagent coordination.
  • The developed HMI approach enables natural, human-like artificial agent behavior.
  • This validates the use of DMPs for creating effective interactive artificial agents.
