Conformity01:20

Conformity

45.1K
Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

32.0K
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.

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.8K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral economics
  • Organizational theory
  • Systems design

Background:

  • Existing research on proxy failure in academia is insufficient to explain advanced phenomena.
  • Observed phenomena include proxy complementarity, exploitation, and predatory proxies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe advanced forms of proxy failure in academic settings.
  • To emphasize the need for designing systems that mitigate these advanced proxy failures.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of observed academic phenomena.
  • Conceptual framework development based on advanced proxy failure types.

Main Results:

  • Identification of proxy complementarity: players reinforcing each other's proxy failures.
  • Identification of proxy exploitation: external agents leveraging players' proxies.
  • Identification of predatory proxies: mechanisms that consume the primary goal.

Conclusions:

  • Academic systems must proactively address advanced proxy failures.
  • Designing behaviorally sound systems is crucial to prevent goal distortion and ensure academic integrity.
