The Social

The seventh chapter argues for the importance of the social context in continuing to influence whether social cognition is engaged or not, and describes a version of the delayed sudden death virus outbreak thought experiment without the death and virus components, set in modern society. This chapter then reviews classical social psychological studies that illustrate the power of the social context in shaping social cognition and resulting behaviour. It describes different types of social contexts, and explores the role of consistency motives in guiding human behaviour. Finally, it makes an appeal for a spectrum metaphor for social behavior, rather than alternative metaphors that categorise the phenomenon too narrowly.

Scientific Framework

Many social psychological phenomena exhibit convergent amplification, i.e., homeostatic or error-cancelling tendencies, the results of which can be studied by currently popular research and statistical methods. We argue, however, that at least as many social psychological phenomena exhibit divergent amplification, i.e., heteromorphic or catalytic tendencies, the results of which cannot be studied by currently popular methods. The latter phenomena are usually overlooked or are dismissed as spurious or scientifically intractable. But recent advances in the physical and biological sciences demonstrate both the possibility and utility of studying these phenomena within an expanded scientific framework. We review these advances, discuss their implications for research and statistical practice in social psychology, and explain the scientific advantages of analyzing social behavior in multifarious contexts.

Psychological Measure

The Cognitive World Structure Game is a social psychological measure of individual differences, originally developed within the framework of an occupational research model. The purpose was to develop a non-diagnostic tool to distinguish among individuals and sets of individuals within various organizations. The game is briefly described and can be distinguished from traditional personality measures by its underlying assumption as well as its methodological components. Although primarily a research tool, an example of its use in a counseling situation is included to illustrate its use in analysis of the multidimensional complexity of personality.

Main Factors

The article deals with the problem of deviant adolescents. With the theory and practice of pedagogy and psychology, it becomes necessary to study this topic not only by psychologists, but also by lawyers, social workers, and doctors. The authors presented a review of foreign literature on the problem of deviant behavior, methods and ways of changing the behavior of adolescents, as well as the biological and hereditary causes of this phenomenon. The authors draw attention to the influence of family forms of upbringing, leading to antisocial and deviant behavior. The family’s unhappiness is one of the main factors of deviations in the social, psychological, pedagogical development of the child. The article describes the styles of relationships in the family that can lead to the formation of incorrect social behavior in adolescents, an analysis of social and pedagogical work with adolescents of deviant behavior is given.

The Social

In this chapter we provide an overview of the domain of social thermoregulation. Our overview suggests that humans have always relied on, and still rely on, thermoregulation to navigate their social environment. In outlining social thermoregulation as a crucial feature of the human essence, we focus on the continuity of thermoregulatory mechanisms from other animals to humans. We then provide a number of different effects from the social psychological literature that helps us understand how thermoregulation is implicated in social behavior. From there on, we seek to understand our brain as a “hierarchically organized prediction machine” that helps us keep temperature at optimal levels. By then, it should be clear how thermoregulation is part of our human essence, how it changes our thoughts about others, and alters our motivations to be with others. We end by pointing to the implications of understanding thermoregulation as human essence.
