Attribution Theory

13.1K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Cognitive Theories: Lazarus Mediational Theory of Emotion

1.1K
Richard Lazarus' cognitive mediational theory highlights the pivotal role of cognitive appraisal in shaping emotional responses. According to this theory, the evaluation of a stimulus — based on personal values, goals, beliefs, and expectations — mediates the emotional response. This appraisal process is immediate and often occurs unconsciously, influencing the intensity and nature of the resulting emotion.

Social Proof00:52

Social Proof

27.8K
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 Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

35.2K
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,...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.8K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Behavioral Genetics and Its Designs

462
Behavior genetics explores how genetic inheritance influences human behavior. It focuses on how genes, passed from parents to offspring, contribute to the development of behavioral traits and tendencies. This branch of genetics seeks to understand the complex interplay between inherited genetic factors and environmental influences in shaping our behaviors.
The primary methodologies used in behavior genetics include family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies, each providing unique...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Social Neuroscience

Background:

  • Understanding the neural underpinnings of social processing is crucial for comprehending human interaction and communication.
  • The Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework provides a valuable structure for investigating complex behaviors and their neural correlates.

Approach:

  • A coordinate-based meta-analysis using the activation likelihood estimate (ALE) method was employed.
  • Data from 864 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) contrasts were analyzed using the NiMARE Python package.
  • Convergence across tasks related to four RDoC social constructs was examined.

Key Points:

  • Meta-analysis identified consistent brain regions involved in social processing, including the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, temporoparietal junction, insula, amygdala, fusiform gyrus, precuneus, and thalamus.
  • Four separate meta-analyses demonstrated differential neural convergence for specific RDoC social constructs: Affiliation and Attachment, Social Communication, Perception and Understanding of Self, and Perception and Understanding of Others.

Conclusions:

  • The findings highlight the distributed neural systems supporting various aspects of social cognition.
  • This research provides a foundational understanding of the
  • social brain
  • and offers insights for future studies on neurotypical and atypical populations.
