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...

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II

785
Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

27.2K
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.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.3K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Externalized norms, experienced as externally imposed, evolved to foster cooperation. This study argues that commitment mechanisms are key to how externalized norms achieve correlated interaction among cooperators.

Area of Science:

  • Evolutionary Psychology
  • Social Norms
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Externalized norms are characterized by being perceived as externally imposed demands.
  • Externalized norms are hypothesized to facilitate correlated interaction among cooperators.
  • The precise mechanism by which externalization achieves correlated interaction remains unspecified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanism through which externalized norms secure correlated interaction.
  • To propose an account for the evolutionary emergence of externalized norms.
  • To highlight the role of commitment in fostering cooperation throughout human evolution.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of social norms and cooperation.
  • Theoretical framework integrating commitment and externalization.
  • Evolutionary perspective on norm emergence.

Main Results:

  • Externalization secures correlated interaction through commitment.
  • Commitment provides a mechanism for the evolution of externalized norms.
  • This framework explains how cooperation is sustained in social groups.

Conclusions:

  • Commitment is the crucial element enabling externalized norms to facilitate correlated interaction.
  • Understanding the role of commitment offers new insights into the evolution of social cooperation.
  • The proposed account enriches evolutionary theories of social behavior.
