Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other01:20

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

188
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Implicit Personality Theories01:23

Implicit Personality Theories

260
Implicit personality theory explains how individuals make assumptions about the relationships between personality traits, behaviors, and character types. When people learn that someone possesses a particular trait, they tend to infer the presence of other related characteristics, forming a cohesive impression. This cognitive shortcut plays a crucial role in social interactions and interpersonal judgments.Central Traits and Their InfluenceSolomon Asch's seminal 1946 study highlighted the power...

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

703
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

577
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

30.1K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

In- and Out-Groups

42.8K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Neuroscience suggests the brain employs utility-like calculations for decision-making.
  • Divisive normalization is a computation implicated in these choice mechanisms.
  • The underlying reasons and specific behaviors associated with normalization in choice remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the rationale behind the brain's use of divisive normalization in choice.
  • To define the specific behaviors consistent with normalization models.
  • To establish a unified theory of choice behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Proving a three-way equivalence theorem.
  • Connecting the normalization model with an information-processing model.
  • Linking these to an axiomatic characterization of behavior.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated equivalence between normalization, information-processing, and axiomatic models.
  • Provided an optimality rationale for normalization in choice, balancing expected value and entropic cost.
  • Characterized testable behaviors arising from normalization.

Conclusions:

  • Unified three distinct models of choice into a single theoretical framework.
  • Addressed the "how", "why", and "what" of brain choice mechanisms.
  • Offered a comprehensive understanding of normalization's role in decision-making.
