Abstract:

Homelessness is a major public health issue in the US. Research shows that unhoused people face numerous challenges including social isolation and loneliness while simultaneously desiring and establishing social connections. We draw on research conducted from 2017 through 2019 at an emergency shelter in Northern Arizona. Methods included participant observation and 14 semi-structured interviews with shelter guests. Interviews explored childhood, social connections, work, and experiences of institutional and interpersonal care. Themes identified include adversity in early relationships, positive relationships, and the complex relationships between unhoused individuals and social service providers. Reciprocal social relations offered these unhoused individuals a sense of worth and recognition. At the same time, some relationships, including those with social service providers, may compromise personal autonomy. Social services can be improved by promoting reciprocal relationships and opportunities for unhoused individuals to be care-givers as well as care-receivers. This study contributes to social theory on reciprocity, autonomy, and loneliness.

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.

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

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,...

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Facilitation

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 Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).
