The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

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

55.6K
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 Scripts02:10

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

31.5K
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

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 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.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Social Psychology
  • Virtual Reality Studies

Background:

  • Decades of research exist on augmented reality (AR) usability and educational benefits.
  • Limited understanding of AR's influence on social interactions and psychological effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the social psychological effects of augmented reality (AR).
  • To examine AR's impact on task performance, nonverbal behavior, and social connectedness.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted: Study 1 (task performance with embodied agents), Study 2 (nonverbal behavior and spatial awareness), and Study 3 (social costs in mixed-reality dyads).
  • Utilized augmented reality (AR) headsets and compared performance/behavior with and without virtual content.

Main Results:

  • Study 1: Social facilitation/inhibition observed in task performance with embodied agents.
  • Study 2: Participants exhibited avoidance behaviors towards virtual agents, indicating spatial awareness.
  • Study 3: AR users reported reduced social connection compared to non-users in dyadic interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Augmented reality (AR) significantly affects task performance, nonverbal behaviors, and social connectedness.
  • Virtual content presence influences human spatial behavior and social dynamics.
  • Further research is needed to understand the long-term social implications of AR adoption.
