Study Notes
Social Cognition and Heuristics in Everyday Life
- Social cognition involves how people think about themselves and the social world, including automatic and controlled thinking processes.
- People rely on schemas, inferred knowledge structures, to organize their knowledge and impressions of others, themselves, social roles, and events.
- Schemas guide attention, reconstruct memory, inference, and interpretation, and determine which schemas are applied based on accessibility, chronic or temporary.
- Heuristics are mental shortcuts that guide problem-solving and decision-making, often used in automatic processing when people lack time, are overloaded with information, or the issues are not very important.
- Common heuristic categories include representativeness, availability, anchoring & adjustment, and affect, which can lead to errors in judgment and decision-making.
- Issues related to heuristics include the false-consensus effect, base-rate fallacy, overconfidence, and counterfactual thinking, which can impact how people perceive and evaluate information and situations.
- Controlled social cognition involves conscious, intentional, voluntary, and effortful mental processes, including mental control and thought suppression.
- Casual attribution refers to the process of determining the causes of behavior, which can be influenced by various cognitive and social factors.
- Central social motives, such as belonging, understanding others, control, self-enhancement, and trust, shape people's construals, thoughts, emotions, behavior, and relationships in everyday life.
- Belonging, understanding others, control, self-enhancement, and trust are essential social motives that impact people's experiences and interactions with others.
- The more isolated individuals feel, the greater the impact on their experiences, highlighting the importance of social connection and belonging in shaping perceptions and behaviors.
- Trust is a fundamental social motive that is essential for survival and impacts how people navigate the world and form meaningful connections with others.
