Egoism and Altruism

Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Actor-Observer Effect01:23

Actor-Observer Effect

212
The actor-observer effect, a cognitive bias closely linked to the fundamental attribution error, refers to the tendency for individuals to attribute their behavior to external, situational factors while explaining others’ behavior in terms of internal, dispositional traits. This asymmetry in attribution significantly influences social perception and judgment.Cognitive Mechanisms Behind the EffectTwo primary psychological mechanisms contribute to the actor-observer effect: differences in...

Implicit Personality Theories

205
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...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect01:29

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

127
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

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

55.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Social network analysis
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Network concepts are vital for understanding social contexts and their impact on outcomes like mental health.
  • Traditional network analysis requires extensive data collection, limiting its application in contextual studies.
  • Existing methods often overlook the utility of network analysis in contextual research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if network sampling can enable contextual network studies without comprehensive data collection.
  • To assess the feasibility of using sampled ego network data to infer network features for contextual analysis.
  • To determine if inferred network features can predict important individual outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Applying network sampling techniques to ego network data within contextual models.
  • Inferring network features of contexts from sampled ego network data.
  • Utilizing inferred network features as predictors in hierarchical linear models.
  • Validating the approach using complete datasets in the context of network cohesion.

Main Results:

  • Sampled ego network data are sufficient to capture the relationship between network cohesion and outcomes.
  • The study successfully inferred network features and linked them to individual outcomes such as attachment and deviance.
  • The proposed method demonstrates the validity of using sampled data for contextual network analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Network sampling offers a viable alternative to heavy data collection in contextual network studies.
  • Researchers can incorporate holistic network measures into traditional regression models more easily.
  • This method facilitates the integration of network analysis into broader social science research.
