Psicologia sociale. Teorie sui processi psicologici, intraindividuali, interpersonali e intergruppi
No full textLa storia delle teorie di psicologia sociale come un romanzo appassionante.
Questo è il taglio originale del testo di Van Lange.
Attraverso il personale punto di vista dei più importanti pensatori contemporanei, si sviluppa una prospettiva nuova e viva sulla psicologia sociale. Trasformandola in materia più che mai viva e attuale, si diluisce l’aspetto meramente teorico e in queste pagine si va alla riscoperta delle origini delle teorie.
La narrazione, per ogni teoria presa in considerazione, si sviluppa analizzando i punti di svolta, le criticità, le aspirazioni, i tagli prospettici unici dell’autore che l’ha generata. O, per meglio dire, partorita. Si scopre così che ogni pensiero nasce da “sangue, sudore e lacrime” e da queste sue basi, così partecipate e concrete, sviluppa la forza e la potenzialità, che l’hanno traghettata fino ai nostri giorni

No full textHonesty and Dishonesty Don’t Move Together: Trait Content Information Influences Behavioral Synchrony
No full textEmerging evidence revealed that honesty and trustworthiness are important drivers of the impression-formation process. Questions remain, however, regarding the role of these moral attributes in guiding real and concrete behaviors. Filling this gap, the present study investigated the influence of honesty on a nonverbal behavior that regulates social interactions: behavioral synchrony. Movements were recorded while participants interacted with a partner who was depicted as honest (versus dishonest) or as friendly (versus unfriendly). Results showed that synchrony was affected only by the honesty of the partner. Specifically, the more the interaction partner lacked honesty, the lower the perceived similarity between the self and the interaction partner, which in turn diminished the promptness to engage in behavioral synchrony. Our findings connected the literature on behavioral synchrony with that on the implication of morality for social perception, revealing the key role of the honesty facet of moral character in shaping nonverbal behaviors
Information gathering on social targets: the trade-off between frequency and diagnosticity
No full textPrevious studies showed that prior expectancies bias information search about social targets towards asymmetric testing, wherein the “yes” answer and the “no” answer are not equally diagnostic. This tendency to asymmetry was interpreted in terms of confirmation bias. However, people might be more sensitive to the frequency of expected answers than to their diagnosticity. Given that weak diagnostic evidence is likely to occur whereas highly diagnostic information is rare, the present contribution aims at investigating the consequence of the asymmetric testing on the impression formation. In Study 1 (N=50) we analyzed the impact of yes and no answers to questions focused on personality traits of a social target. The pattern of multiple regression revealed that the questions level of asymmetry did not affect the final impression. In Study 2 (N=41) participants were presented with pools of questions -and relative answers- manipulated by symmetry and balanced in terms diagnosticity. The results showed asymmetric pools(extreme but rare information) to have lower impact on final impression than symmetric pools (less informative but frequent information). In Study 3 (N=60) participants were presented with evidence obtained from different members of a social category through symmetric or asymmetric questions. People were more prone to generalize the trait to the whole category in the symmetric condition. Possible consequences for the stereotype change process are discussed
