Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.0K
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.

Statistical Significance01:50

Statistical Significance

21.1K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.6K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Empathy02:34

Empathy

10.1K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Lagging Strand Synthesis01:59

Lagging Strand Synthesis

61.0K
During replication, the complementary strands in double-stranded DNA are synthesized at different rates. Replication first begins on the leading strand. Replication starts later, occurs more slowly, and proceeds discontinuously on the lagging strand.
There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.0K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Formal Semantics
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • The New Paradigm in psychology of reasoning relies on Bayesian models of rationality.
  • Probabilistic coherence assessments alone are insufficient for understanding reasoning.
  • Interdisciplinary integration between psychology of reasoning and formal semantics is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically discuss the role of entailments in Bayesian models of rationality.
  • To introduce a new experimental paradigm, the Dialogical Entailment task.
  • To investigate reasoning with conditionals and negation operators.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced the Dialogical Entailment task.
  • Applied the task to study reasoning with conditionals and negation (CEM, wide/narrow-scope negation).
  • Evaluated participants' entailment judgments against probability evaluations over two sessions.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the necessity of integrating probabilistic coherence with empirical entailment judgments.
  • Showcased the Dialogical Entailment task as a supplement to current psychology of reasoning trends.
  • Assessed cross-task consistency in participants' reasoning.

Conclusions:

  • Probabilistic coherence requires empirical validation through intuitive judgments.
  • The Dialogical Entailment task facilitates interdisciplinary research in reasoning.
  • This approach enhances the study of knowledge-rich, social reasoning under uncertainty.
