The phenomenon of conformism: socio-psychological and socio-philosophical aspects

The article discusses the features of the phenomenon of conformism from the point of view of social psychology and social philosophy. The definition of conformity is given, its signs are analyzed. Using the dialectical method of research, the author makes an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of conformism and determine its role in the formation of the individual in society. The situation of forced submission and the influence of conformism on the formation of a person's critical thinking are considered. It is concluded that under the influence of conformal behavior a human being ceases to be a person, turning into a reflection of the worldview of the subjects influencing him, their norms and rules. Conformity, thus, becomes a kind of illusion, which makes it possible to have a more comfortable existence in the conditions of merging a person, an individual, with the crowd.

Research on the Optimization Strategy of Innovation Behavior and Entrepreneurship Intention in Entrepreneurship Teaching

Entrepreneurial intention is a necessary prerequisite for prospective entrepreneurs to start a new business, and today’s college students are the potential entrepreneurs of the future. How to improve students’ willingness to start a business is an important topic that a large number of scholars continue to pay attention to. The purpose of this work is to disentangle how college students’ previous innovative behavior affects their entrepreneurial intention from the view of social psychology. Survey data from a vocational college in China indicate that college students’ previous innovative behavior facilitates flow, which in turn affects their entrepreneurial intention. Our empirical findings flourish the research on antecedents of college students’ entrepreneurial intention, make contributions to the research on flow in entrepreneurship, and provide useful recommendations and suggestions in entrepreneurship teaching.

Development of Sociological Concepts of Attributes of Consciousness Manipulation

The article studies the development of sociological opinions on the definition and signs of manipulation within the framework of the theory of manipulation of consciousness. The study of manipulation of consciousness has been a popular and relevant topic of many scientific sociological studies since the second half of the XX century. There are many fundamental and applied works on this topic, in which manipulation is studied from the points of view of social political science, social psychology, social philosophy and sociology particularly in its sections like sociology of culture, sociological processes, sociology of management.

¿Hubo un 68 científico? Su repercusión en <em>action research</em> y <em>mixing methods</em>

El autor se plantea si hubo un “68 científico” y se centra en dos aspectos que corresponden a dos propuestas metodológicas definidas en los años cuarenta y cincuenta del siglo XX con las expresiones “action research” y “mixing methods”, aplicadas especialmente en las ciencias sociales. En la primera, el clima creado en torno a los sucesos de 1968 contribuyó a acentuar el sentido participativo que tenía, por definición, la “action research”; es decir: la importancia de que las personas investigadas participen en la elaboración, ejecución y aplicación de esa misma investigación que se hace sobre ellas. Se apelaba ante todo al fondo democrático y antiautoritario que latía en esa propuesta y que se había convertido en parte del clima general dominante en aquellos días. La repercusión del propio 68 en “mixing methods” se centró, por su parte, en el estudio de lo ocurrido (el estudio del 68 por tanto), sobre todo desde el punto de vista sociológico y desde el de la psicología social planteada sobre la base de “mixing methods”. El autor se detiene en la propuesta de Norman Denzin; pero, tanto en el caso del “mixing methods” como en el de la “action research”, se remonta a sus respectivos orígenes inmediatos y, por tanto, a las propuestas que partieron principalmente de Kurt Lewin y la escuela de Chicago.

Utility-Value Score: A Case Study in System Generalization for Writing Analytics

Collection and analysis of students' writing samples on a large scale is a part of the research agenda of the emerging writing analytics community that promises to deliver an unprecedented insight into characteristics of student writing. Yet with a large scale often comes variability of contexts in which the samples were produced-different institutions, different purposes of writing, different author demographics, to name just a few possible dimensions of variation. What are the implications of such variation for the ability of automated methods to create indices/features based on the writing samples that would be valid and meaningful? This paper presents a case study in system generalization. Building on a system developed to assess the expression of utility value (a social-psychology-based construct) in essays written by first-year biology students at one postsecondary institution, we vary data parameters and observe system performance. From the point of view of social psychology, all these variants represent the same underlying construct (i.e., utility value), and it is thus very tempting to think that an automatically produced utility-value score could provide a meaningful analytic, consistently, on a large collection of essays. However, findings from this research show that there are challenges: Some variations are easier to deal with than others, and some components of the automated system generalize better than others. The findings are then discussed both in the context of the case study and more generally.

Brazilian Social Psychology in the international setting

The objective of this work was to discuss the Social Psychology that has been developing in Brazil, placing it in the international theoretical-methodological setting. To achieve this goal, we initially present a brief historical account of the founding of the Brazilian Association of Social Psychology and the Latin American Association of Social Psychology, providing insight into the political struggle that surrounded the emergence of these two organizations and that, to a certain degree, is still present today. We then present the results of research conducted with 150 Brazilian social psychologists concerning the definition of social psychology, the academic training perspective, and the theories used in the conduct of research. The results point to the existence of several contradictions, since, among other matters, they highlight the fact that while most participants advocate research practices tied to a more sociological perspective, the definitions given indicate a more psychological view of social psychology.

Dimensions Of Epistemic Authority Of University Professors

The article analyses the issue of the concept of social epistemology regarding knowledge transmission from the point of view of social psychology. Knowledge transmission is related to the epistemic aspect of authority, which is demonstrated by the structural element of authority – source of knowledge or the assumed truth. In higher education, the distinction of epistemology is related to epistemological views, their multiple dimensions which show the extent and type how students perceive professors as epistemic authorities – sources of knowledge who are trusted and relied on.

Towards an Integrated Strategy for Intercultural Dialog: Computer-Mediated Communication and Face to Face

This article seeks to provide a preliminary framework for advancing intercultural dialog, from the point of view of political science, social psychology, and anthropology as it relates to computer-mediated communication (CMC) and face-to-face (FTF) contact. It offers a basis for integrating elements which hithertofore have not been integrated as part of a strategy for intercultural dialog. In an age of intercivilizational conflict it is a vital challenge to facilitate a sustained dialog and relationship building between cultures both in FTF contexts (encounters) and via CMC for both political dialog and business activity. Combined with general theoretical elements, focus is placed upon the Middle East and includes references to several case studies. Given the need as well to engage larger segments of the world in communication and dialog such as the Islamic periphery references have also been made to South Asia. This article: (1) begins with a discussion of the vital importance of culture in international and intergroup relations; (2) relates to the importance of political context; (3) reviews main social psychological approaches for fostering positive perceptions between groups in conflict; and (4) refers to a case study of Israeli-Palestinian FTF intercultural dialog and finally relate to theory and practice of intercultural CMC in the Middle East. As an added element this article also relates to relevant communication styles in portions of the Islamic world in the Far East which has relevance to discourse in the Middle East.

Theory and research in Mexican social psychology

Social psychology in Mexico has its roots in the early 20th century as a field with the objective of recognizing the ethnic character of its people. Influences from the United States and Europe, combined with indigenous thinkers gave way to the growth of a psychological, a sociological and a cultural perspective. In addition, as it occurs in spaces were smooth and amiable interpersonal relationships are paramount, and social, economic and political problems thrive, a unique applied tradition has emerged. In order to offer a concise but at the same time broad view of Mexican social psychology, theory and research trends, both classical and contemporary are reviewed, offering examples of prevailing methodologies and findings.

Mathematical model of election under extreme conditions with transborder flows

The electoral behavior of population under condition of alternative election is investigated from the point of view of nonlinear dynamics, social psychology and sociology. Mathematical models of mechanisms of socio-psychological dynamics have been described and analyzed for the concrete local ethnic region. Also the problem of stability as a whole of the model with transborder flows has been evaluated. Some applications оf thе theory to the estimation of the resources оf social security control have been considered.

Virtual Reality as a Communication Environment: Consensual Hallucination, Fiction, and Possible Selves

This article addresses a matter of potentially great social significance-Virtual Reality (VR) as a communication environment-from the point of view of social psychology. While it is easily recognized that technological research is deeply involved in the ongoing development of VR systems, there is no equal agreement about behavioral sciences having good reasons for both interest and concern in VR as medium. This paper reviews current research on the quality of VR experience and integrates it in a theoretical framework centered on self identity processes. The main issues are: which sense may be ascribed to the "consensual hallucination" experienced in VR? Which sort of fiction is peculiar to VR? Which influence can VR as a medium have on the construction of the self? We cannot reject in principle the idea that VR could, when fully developed, create alternative realities almost paralleling, in sensory richness, "conventional" realities. The "cyber" view, stressing the capability of VR to supply alternative, disembodied forms of community, cannot be dismissed as irrelevant: technologies nurture specific political, ideological, and also mystical beliefs as essential aspects of their moral foundation (and vice versa, ideologies can inspire specific technological projects).

New Technology and Human Error

This book is about the nature of human error and the implications for design of modern industrial installations. It is the first book discussing the topic from the point of view of cognitive psychology, social psychology and safety engineering. Advanced students, researchers and professional psychologists in industrial psychology/human factors and engineers or systems designers concerned with man-machine systems will find this book essential reading.

Forum and focus: A personal view of European Social Psychology

AbstractThe article presents a personal history of European social psychology as advanced by the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology during the last twenty years. It is argued that this association did indeed create a new forum for European social psychologists through organizing summerschools, general meetings, workshops, east—west conferences and through the foundation of a scientific journal and a series of monographs. The Association may also have promoted a different perspective in social psychological research by emphasizing more the collective nature of social behaviour rather than interpersonal processes and by favouring substance over method.

Social cognition in the classroom

This article explores applications from the field of social cognition to educational issues. Among the topics examined are: mainstreaming, low achievement, academic self‐concept, achievement change programs, achievement‐related emotions, praise and blame, help‐giving, and affective communications of pity and anger. These issues are clarified with the use of concepts from cognitive social psychology such as perceptual salience, causal ascriptions, perceived personal control, and compensatory schema. Throughout the article, future research directions in educational contexts are suggested from the point of view of cognitive social psychology.

Kurt Lewin's View of Social Psychology: The Crisis of 1977 and the Crisis of 1927

The issue raised by the "historical" view of social psychology were discussed by Lewin as early as 1927. Lewin sharply separates historical and systematic analysis of psychological events. His distinction between "historical-geographic" concepts and "conditional-genetic" concepts is examined. Perhaps surprisingly, Lewin supports many of the views of the "historians," while rejecting their conclusion that laws are impossible. Lewin argues that lawful concepts are concrete, real, content-full and re fer to potentialities. They include feedback loops, values, and perceptual-cognitive variables and apply to unique events. Lewin's work is placed in a neo-Kantian tradition which con trasts with our dominant tradition which is based on Hume and Locke. This Lockean-Humean world view may be the source of much of our current frustration.

The Prison as an Autocracy

One potential source of information, not only about prisons but also about the sort of social environment of which the prison is typical, is the inmate group itself. As yet this source has been but little exploited on anything approaching a quantitative level. The neglect of this source is unfortunate, since information obtained in studies of the inmates can be of considerable use both in formulating practical penological policy, and in constructing socio-psychological theory. From the point of view of social psychology, the prison is especially interesting at the present time as a prime example of the autocratic group; i.e., a group in which policy is, for the most part, determined by the top members of a hierarchy. From the angle of penological practice, it is clear that no program aiming at anything more ambitious than mere segregation and punishment can be effective without taking into account the reactions of the majority of its subjects. It is important to know not only what the program means to the administrator, but also what it means for the prisoner. Reliable information about the meaning for the prisoner can be obtained only by going directly to large numbers of the inmates themselves.

Theology from the Point of View of Social Psychology

(1) Theology is an expression of group belief in distinction from philosophy, which is an unofficial individual interpretation. (2) The meaning of theology is to be found by a study of its social origin. (3) Most theological terms are social "patterns." (4) Theology is also derived from ritual and customs, which antedate doctrines. (5) Theology is thus seen to be functional in its nature. The value of theological formulas is to be determined by asking whether they actually promote the religious life of the group.
