Free-rider Theory and Social Loafing

In the social psychology of groups, social loafing is the phenomenon of people exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a group than when they work alone.[1][2] This is seen as one of the main reasons groups are sometimes less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals, but should be distinguished from the coordination problems that groups sometime experience.

Social loafing is also associated with two concepts that are typically used to explain why it occurs: The "free-rider" theory and the resulting "sucker effect", which is an individual’s reduction in effort in order to avoid pulling the weight of a fellow group member.

Research on social loafing began with rope pulling experiments by Ringelmann, who found that members of a group tended to exert less effort into pulling a rope than did individuals alone. In more recent research, studies involving modern technology, such as online and distributed groups, has also shown clear evidence of social loafing. Many of the causes of social loafing stem from an individual feeling that his or her effort will not matter to the group. Therefore, effective ways to reduce social loafing involve increasing the motivation of individual group members or improving their coordination.

SOCIAL VALUE OF BEAUTY IN POLITICIANS



Just have a look at this Spanish newspaper column which refers to what we discussed in class last monday (16/05) about the social value of beauty in forming first impressions -remember S. Asch (1950)-. It is confirmed that beauty acts as a central trait to develop good images of the person-to-know becacuse it is cognitively linked in halo effect to other positive traits such as intelligence and cleanliness.

CLASS EXERCISE ON HALO EFFECT

RESULTS OF THE REPLICATED EXPERIMENT OF ASCH (1950) ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS IN ORDER TO PROVE HALO EFFECTS ON CENTRAL TRAITS:

FIRST EXPERIMENTAL CONDITION (“COLD” CENTRAL TRAIT): COMPETITIVE, SERIOUS, EDUCATED, SMART, DEMANDING, RATIONAL, ELEGANT, SELF-CONFIDENT, ANALYTICAL, FRIENDLY, COMPETITIVE, PIGHEADED, TIMID, COLD, SEXUALLY GOER, ACTIVE, STRONG PERSONALITY, CALCULATING, RESPECTFUL, INTELLIGENT, RESPECTFUL, MEAN, EGOCENTRIC, UNHAPPY, SERIOUS, GOOD, CONCEITED.

SECOND EXPERIMENTAL CONDITION (“WARM” CENTRAL TRAIT): SELF-CONFIDENT, RATIONAL, CONSTANT, FRIENDLY, NICE, INTELLIGENT, GOOD, PLEASANT, COOPERATIVE, COMPETITIVE, EXTROVERT, TALKATIVE, CLOSE, EMPATHIC, HARD-WORKER, INTELLIGENT, KIND, SWEET, GULLIBLE, EXTROVERT, SUCCESSFUL, WELL-MANNERED, NICE, KIND, HONEST, NICE, HARD-WORKER.

CONTENT ANALYSIS: GREATER NEGATIVITY PERCEIVED IN 1ST CONDITION “COLD” AND VICE VERSE.

CONCLUSION: INITIAL IMPRESSIONS WILL CONDITION BY HALO EFFECT THE ASSESSMENTS OF OTHERS ACCORDING TO CERTAIN CENTRAL TRAITS WHICH ARE CULTURALLY REINFORCED.

Hierarchical Cluster Analysis

Hierarchical clustering is one method for finding community structures in a network. The technique arranges the network into a hierarchy of groups according to a specified weight function. The data can then be represented a dendogram.

Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety

This was the first scale we developed in our work on communication apprehension. It is highly reliable (alpha estimates >.90) but it focuses strictly on public speaking anxiety. Hence, we moved on to develop the PRCA and ultimately the PRCA-24. This is an excellent measure for research which centers on public speaking anxiety, but is an inadequate measure of the broader communication apprehension construct.

Directions: Below are 34 statements that people sometimes make about themselves. Please indicate whether or not you believe each statement applies to you by marking whether you:


Strongly Disagree = 1; Disagree = 2; Neutral = 3; Agree = 4; Strogly Agree = 5.

CONFRONTING IDEAS, SHARING VIEWS

DEBATE 1. DO NOT SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE IN GROUP VS IT IS BETTER TO CLARIFY YOUR DOUBTS BEFORE ACTING. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

It is about
expressing the point of view on one of the ideas that are facing, divided by VS (Versus). Each participant will have to give the group noun and him/her own noun. E.g. Esther, UMAMI.

Let's Classify!

Exercise aims:
  • Be aware of the complexity of group´s nature
  • Learn certain definitions of a group
  • Compare and classify definitions
  • Learn what is the group graded definition
  • Create a SPSS matrix

Stages

  1. READ YOUR STRIP OF PAPER. DO NOT COMMENT ON IT. IDENTIFY MAIN VARIABLES AND THE PERSPECTIVE.
  2. SEARCH THROUGH THE CLASS TO FIND OTHER SIMILAR DEFINITIONS. IDENTIFY THE AUTHOR; TALK RATHER THAN READ. CLUSTER YOURSELVES! IDENTIFY COMMON VARIABLES.
  3. ACCORDING TO THE COMMON CHART, PLACE 1 OR 0 IN EACH COLUMN.

LIST OF CATEGORIES:

CLUSTERING GROUP DEFINITIONS
  • AFFECTION
  • AIMS/ TARGET / OBJECTIVES / FUNCTION
  • BEHAVIOURS
  • DEPENDENCY
  • DYNAMIC
  • FEELINGS
  • FREQUENCY
  • IDENTIFICATION/IDENTITY
  • INTERACTIONS
  • INTERDEPENDENCE
  • INTEREST
  • MOTIVATION
  • NEEDS

SMALL QUESTIONNAIRE

The other day we did a questionnaire in which we answered different questions of our lives, most of them related to our English level. And here it is a summary of it.


Most of us started to study English at school and continued till Bachillerato. Some students have the First Certificate, others have Trinity’s high levels, although most of us do not have any of it. Nevertheless, we practice English by reading, watching films, listening to music and also speaking with native friends. Even there are students whose parents are native. Moreover, most of us have traveled to many English-speaking-countries, England, Ireland and Amsterdam are the most common. And I forgot the ERASMUS boy. So, most of us have written that our English is good and it improves if we write it. Well, maybe it isn’t my case!(sorry, I’m trying to do my best). Which are our weaknesses? Speaking, listening, and reading/vocabulary, also some of us get very nervous, others think that we speak slowly, and we have terrible problems when we speak in front of the class. Also, some of us commit grammatical mistakes and others speak so quickly, forgetting what they are saying… Self-confidence and hope! About activities and role of the teacher we prefer, it’s great to know that all of us like dynamics so we are open to new activities, and we also prefer a teacher who guide our knowledge and transmit us motivation for the subject, even though we may not be interested. Finally, out of class we love reading the same things, topics like psychology, music, politician, science and spiritual themes. To sum up, perhaps we seem so different but we have lots of things in common after all.
