In social life, humans cannot be separated from social interactions with others. This is based on the fact that humans are social creatures, which in their lives cannot live alone but need help from others. This makes people need help and assistance in solving problems in their lives. In Javanese culture, collaboration that is carried out collectively is known as soyo. Soyo is carried out as an effort to be able to lighten work and is evidence of harmonious life in a community. This study examines the soyo phenomenon from a social and cultural perspective. The findings show that social learning is important in the continuation of the soyo tradition and that moral responsibility and wholeheartedness are essential features of engagement in the practice.

Background and Objectives: Social interactions involving personal disclosures are ubiquitous in social life and have important relational implications. A large body of research has documented positive outcomes from fruitful social interactions with amicable individuals, but less is known about how self-disclosing interactions with inimical interaction partners impacts individuals. Design and Methods: Participants engaged in an immersive social interaction task with a confederate (thought to be another participant) trained to behave amicably (Fast Friends) or inimically (Fast Foes). Cardiovascular responses were measured during the interaction and behavioral displays coded. Participants also reported on their subjective experiences of the interaction. Results: Participants assigned to interact in the Fast Foes condition reported more negative affect and threat appraisals, displayed more negative behaviors (i.e., agitation and anxiety), and exhibited physiological threat responses (and lower cardiac output in particular) compared to participants assigned to the Fast Friends condition. Conclusions: The novel paradigm demonstrates differential stress and affective outcomes between positive and negative self-disclosure situations across multiple channels, providing a more nuanced understanding of the processes associated with disclosing information about the self in social contexts.

AbstractWith the overnight growth in Working from Home (WFH) owing to the pandemic, organisations and their employees have had to adapt work-related processes and practices quickly with a huge reliance upon technology. Everyday activities such as social interactions with colleagues must therefore be reconsidered. Existing literature emphasises that social interactions, typically conducted in the traditional workplace, are a fundamental feature of social life and shape employees’ experience of work. This experience is completely removed for many employees due to the pandemic and, presently, there is a lack of knowledge on how individuals maintain social interactions with colleagues via technology when working from home. Given that a lack of social interaction can lead to social isolation and other negative repercussions, this study aims to contribute to the existing body of literature on remote working by highlighting employees’ experiences and practices around social interaction with colleagues. This study takes an interpretivist and qualitative approach utilising the diary-keeping technique to collect data from twenty-nine individuals who had started to work from home on a full-time basis as a result of the pandemic. The study explores how participants conduct social interactions using different technology platforms and how such interactions are embedded in their working lives. The findings highlight the difficulty in maintaining social interactions via technology such as the absence of cues and emotional intelligence, as well as highlighting numerous other factors such as job uncertainty, increased workloads and heavy usage of technology that affect their work lives. The study also highlights that despite the negative experiences relating to working from home, some participants are apprehensive about returning to work in the traditional office place where social interactions may actually be perceived as a distraction. The main contribution of our study is to highlight that a variety of perceptions and feelings of how work has changed via an increased use of digital media while working from home exists and that organisations need to be aware of these differences so that they can be managed in a contextualised manner, thus increasing both the efficiency and effectiveness of working from home.

Coaches often identify social learning situations as the most valuable and influential to their learning. Thus, researchers have proposed implementing social learning initiatives, in particular, the community of practice approach. The purpose of the present study was to explore how an existing coach community of practice was created and sustained in a university setting, and to assess what value was created by participating in the community of practice. Participants included four National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 coaches from a university in the Southwestern United States. Data collection included an individual interview with each coach. Interviews were analysed using a value creation framework. The findings revealed that the coaches created value within all five cycles of Wenger et al.’s framework. In particular, the coaches learned a number of coaching strategies, some of which they were able to implement, and as a result, observe benefits in their coaching and athletes’ performance.

Abstract Unlike emotions, which are short-lasting events accompanied by viscero-motor responses, vitality forms are continuous internal states that modulate the motor behaviors of individuals and are devoid of the autonomic modifications that characterize real emotions. Despite the importance of vitality forms in social life, only recently have neurophysiological studies been devoted to this issue. The first part of this review describes fMRI experiments, showing that the dorso-central insula is activated during the execution, the perception and the imagination of arm actions endowed with different vitality forms as well as during the hearing and the production of speech conveying vitality forms. In the second part, we address the means by which the dorso-central insula modulates the networks for controlling action execution and how the sensory and interoceptive information is conveyed to this insular sector. Finally, we present behavioral data showing the importance of vitality forms in social interactions.

This paper presents an overview of our work towards building socially intelligent, cooperative humanoid robots that can work and learn in partnership with people. People understand each other in social terms, allowing them to engage others in a variety of complex social interactions including communication, social learning, and cooperation. We present our theoretical framework that is a novel combination of Joint Intention Theory and Situated Learning Theory and demonstrate how this framework can be applied to develop our sociable humanoid robot, Leonardo. We demonstrate the robot's ability to learn quickly and effectively from natural human instruction using gesture and dialog, and then cooperate to perform a learned task jointly with a person. Such issues must be addressed to enable many new and exciting applications for robots that require them to play a long-term role in people's daily lives.

AbstractInteracting with others to decide how finite resources should be allocated between parties which may have competing interests is an important part of social life. Considering that not all of our proposals to others are always accepted, the outcomes of such social interactions are, by their nature, probabilistic and risky. Here, we highlight cognitive processes related to value computations in human social interactions, based on mathematical modelling of the proposer behavior in the Ultimatum Game. Our results suggest that the perception of risk is an overarching process across non-social and social decision-making, whereas nonlinear weighting of others’ acceptance probabilities is unique to social interactions in which others’ valuation processes needs to be inferred. Despite the complexity of social decision-making, human participants make near-optimal decisions by dynamically adjusting their decision parameters to the changing social value orientation of their opponents through influence by multidimensional inferences they make about those opponents (e.g. how prosocial they think their opponent is relative to themselves).

<p>Islam and tradition in Aceh Community likes substance and attribut that cannot be separated each other. Religion and culture has been integrated in way of life, system social, culture and Islamic values. In cultural perspective, tradition of <em>maulod</em> has become deeping ritual of religion that integrated by values of religion and tradition that connected each other. This study used sociological and religion anthropology approach by using data collection such as observation, interview and library research. The result of this study describe that in <em>maulud</em> tradition in Aceh, there are integrated between religion and culture. Islam influence culture deeply in the same manner as almost whole social life aspects of Aceh community. These are can be found in process of  <em>uroe maulod </em>(the day of <em>maulod</em>), <em>idang meulapeh </em>(beverage of <em>maulod</em>)<em>,</em> <em>dzikee maulod </em>(repeatedly chant part of the confession of islamic faith)<em> </em>and<em> </em>Islamic missionary<em>. </em>Indeed, <em>maulod</em> celebration is done not only in a month but also in three months namely; Rabi’ul Awwal (<em>mulod awai/</em>the<em> </em>first <em>maulod</em>), Rabi’ul Akhir (<em>maulod teungoh/ </em>the<em> </em>middle <em>maulod</em>) dan pada bulan Jumadil Awwal (<em>maulod ache/</em>the last <em>maulod</em>).</p><p><strong> </strong></p>Islam dan adat dalam masyarakat Aceh bagaikan zat dan sifat yang tidak dapat dipisahkan satu sama lain. Agama dan budaya terintegrasi dalam pandangan hidup, sistem sosial, budaya, dan nilai-nilai Islam. Dari konteks budaya, tradisi <em>maulud</em> menjadi praktek keagamaan yang kental dengan integrasi nilai-nilai agama dan adat yang saling berkelit kelindang. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi dan antropologi agama dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara dan  studi kepustakaan.  Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam tradisi <em>maulod</em> di Aceh terjadi integrasi antara agama dan budaya. Islam mewarnai budaya secara begitu kental, sebagaimana juga ditemukan dalam hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan bagi masyarakat Aceh. Hal ini dapat dilihat dalam proses<em> uroe maulod</em>, <em>idang meulapeh,</em> <em>dzikee maulod</em>, dakwah Islamiyah. Bahkan perayaan <em>maulod</em> tidak hanya sebatas satu bulan saja, namun dilaksanakan dalam tiga bulan yaitu, Rabi’ul Awwal (<em>mulod awai</em>), Rabi’ul Akhir (<em>mulod teungoh</em>) dan pada bulan Jumadil Awwal (<em>mulod akhe</em>).

This paper aims at exploring the urgency of linguistic communication in social interactions in relation with the theory of model of linguistic communication. Linguistics as the scientific study of language can be viewed theoretically and practically. Theoretically, it is considered as scientific study of language, and practically, linguistics is largely a way of talking about language, and, therefore, a precise vocabulary is required so that specialists in the field can communicate accurately with each other. Communication is a must which is required in verbal and written communication. Integrating language skills is the only approach to be done in interactive communication. Communication and language seem to be a two-side coin. That is to say, where there is communication, there is, at least, one language, and vice versa, where there is a language, there is communication as well. The urgency of linguistic com¬munication is even more important in many other aspects of social life. Linguistic communication is not simply a matter of sending and receiving messages, but also involves sensitivity to emotional factors and the complex and subtle dynamics that operate between people. In social interaction, human beings always use language in communication, either verbally or non verbally. Verbal communication is called linguistic communication. In linguistic communication, universally the speech can be directly understood by other communicator because communication is done using oral language. It means, in case the message reciever does not understand the massage vonveyed, he directly can clarify it to the sender of the message. There are a lot of things involved when linguistic communication is done, such as, individual identity, social structure, culture, context, and social interaction.

Moral outrage shapes fundamental aspects of human social life and is now widespread in online social networks. Here, we show how social learning processes amplify online moral outrage expressions over time. In two pre-registered observational studies of Twitter (7,331 users and 12.7 million total tweets) and two pre-registered behavioral experiments (N = 240), we find that positive social feedback for outrage expressions increases the likelihood of future outrage expressions, consistent with principles of reinforcement learning. We also find that outrage expressions are sensitive to expressive norms in users’ social networks, over and above users’ own preferences, suggesting that norm learning processes guide online outrage expressions. Moreover, expressive norms moderate social reinforcement of outrage: in ideologically extreme networks, where outrage expression is more common, users are less sensitive to social feedback when deciding whether to express outrage. Our findings highlight how platform design interacts with human learning mechanisms to impact moral discourse in digital public spaces.
