Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

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,...

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.

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 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.

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Mind
  • Cognitive Science
  • Moral Psychology

Background:

  • Commentaries address the book "Talking to Our Selves: Reflection, Ignorance, and Agency."
  • The book challenges the concept of morally responsible agency.
  • An anti-skeptical theory is proposed to address these challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To defend and amend the skeptical challenge to morally responsible agency.
  • To defend the anti-skeptical theory developed in the book.
  • To explore appropriate aspirations for theorizing about moral responsibility and agency.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical argumentation and defense of existing theories.
  • Analysis of skeptical challenges to moral responsibility.
  • Elaboration of a social, "collaborativist" account of agency.

Main Results:

  • The skeptical challenge to morally responsible agency warrants serious consideration.
  • Appeals to individual differences and practical efficacy may mitigate skeptical impacts.
  • The role of values in agency is defended against criticisms.

Conclusions:

  • Theories of moral responsibility and agency require robust defense against skepticism.
  • Social and collaborative aspects are crucial for understanding agency.
  • Future theorizing should consider practical implications and individual variations.
