Study Notes
Social Cognition
- A person who arrives at the airport 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time of their flight will be told that their flight left on time.
- Another person who arrives at the airport 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time of their flight will be told that their flight was delayed and just left five minutes ago.
Schemas
- Schemas perform various functions, but NOT the function of increasing the accessibility of a schema, trait, or concept.
- Schemas are mental structures people use to organize their knowledge about the social world.
- Schemas influence the information people notice, think about, and remember.
- Schemas become accessible through recent experiences, priming, and context.
Thinking Styles
- Analytical thinking is slow, reflective, and requires mental effort.
- Automatic thinking is quick, reflexive, and often relies on 'hunches'.
- Controlled thinking is deliberate and requires mental effort.
- Automatic thinking is more characteristic of individualistic cultures, while controlled thinking is more characteristic of collectivist cultures.
Heuristics
- The availability heuristic is based on judgments or decisions made based on the ease with which information comes to mind.
- The representativeness heuristic is based on making classifications based on similarity to typical cases.
- The likelihood that Steve is a farmer, salesman, pilot, librarian, or physician in the Tversky & Kahneman (1974) example is low.
Social Cognition Biases
- The overconfidence barrier is a bias that occurs when people are too confident in their judgments.
- The recommended approach to improve judgment is to consider alternative perspectives.
- Factors that bias our thinking include schemas, heuristics, and cultural differences in attentional processes.
Counterfactual Thinking
- Counterfactual thinking is the process of imagining alternative outcomes or scenarios.
- The main purpose of counterfactual thinking is to understand the world around us.
- Counterfactual thinking is more common in individualistic cultures.
Cultural Differences
- Individualistic cultures are more characteristic of automatic thinking, while collectivist cultures are more characteristic of controlled thinking.
- Cultural differences in attentional processes influence how people perceive and process information.
Other Concepts
- Embodied cognition is the process of understanding the world through bodily experiences.
- The self-fulfilling prophecy is the case where people have an expectation about what another person is like, which influences how they act toward that person, which, in turn, causes that person to behave consistently with their original expectations.
