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

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

50.1K
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 Loafing

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,...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Social Facilitation

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.

Social Proof

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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Sciences
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Human social performance has been studied for over a century.
  • Previous quantification relied on self-report and intelligence-based measures, with limitations.
  • An expertise framework offers novel quantification methods for social interaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Define concepts of individual differences in social performance, focusing on intelligence-based theories.
  • Argue for conceptualizing social-emotional performance as a social expertise.
  • Discuss implications for computational modeling in assessing social interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis.
  • Outlining components and assessment of social-emotional expertise.
  • Exploring the integration of expertise theory and computational modeling.

Main Results:

  • Identified limitations in current intelligence-based approaches to social performance.
  • Proposed a framework of social-emotional expertise with potential assessment methods.
  • Highlighted the synergy between expertise theory and computational modeling.

Conclusions:

  • An expertise framework provides novel insights into individual differences in social performance.
  • Social-emotional expertise offers a more nuanced understanding than intelligence-based models.
  • Integrating expertise theory and computational modeling can advance quantitative assessment of social interaction.
