Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

39.5K
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).

Social Scripts

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 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 Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.3K
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...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.1K
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

39.0K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Internet research
  • Adolescent health interventions
  • Human-computer interaction

Background:

  • Social media interventions are increasingly used in adolescent health research.
  • Selecting an appropriate social media platform is a critical challenge for researchers.
  • Existing research lacks a systematic framework for platform selection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the theoretical framework of affordances for social media platform selection in intervention research.
  • To provide guidance for researchers on choosing suitable platforms for internet-based interventions.
  • To advance the scientific rigor of social media intervention design.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the concept of affordances, defined as properties of artifacts offering action possibilities.
  • Describing common affordances applicable to intervention design.
  • Reviewing current evidence and intervention case examples for each affordance.

Main Results:

  • The affordances framework offers a structured approach to social media platform selection.
  • Identified common affordances and their relevance to intervention design.
  • Provided case examples illustrating the application of affordances in practice.

Conclusions:

  • The affordances framework provides a scientific basis for selecting social media platforms for intervention research.
  • This approach can enhance the effectiveness and impact of internet-based health interventions.
  • Further research prioritizing scientific platform selection is crucial for the field.
