Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

Cognitive processes affect social behavior by guiding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to social stimuli. These mental processes enable individuals to assess others' behaviors, attribute causes to their actions, and form expectations based on past experiences.Causes of Behavior and Social JudgmentsIndividuals determine the causes of others' behaviors by distinguishing between personal traits and external circumstances.

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

168
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

980
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Digital Well-being

Background:

  • Increasing social media use raises concerns about its impact on cognitive functions.
  • Previous research on problematic social media use and cognitive failures is mostly cross-sectional, lacking clarity on causality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the bidirectional relationship between problematic social media use and cognitive failures in young adults.
  • To determine if cognitive failures precede or result from problematic social media use.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study involving 252 young adults over 13 weeks.
  • Weekly assessments using the Problematic Social Media Use Scale and Cognitive Failures in Everyday Life Scale.
  • Analysis using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model.

Main Results:

  • A significant bidirectional relationship was found between problematic social media use and cognitive failures.
  • Problematic social media use predicted future cognitive failures.
  • Cognitive failures predicted future problematic social media use.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic social media use and cognitive failures create a reinforcing cycle, exacerbating each other.
  • Interventions should target both behavioral and cognitive aspects of social media use.
  • Promoting healthier digital habits and cognitive well-being is crucial.
