In brief, socially desirable behaviors are typically those which conform to group standards, and the deviant behaviors which define psychopathology are usually socially undesirable. Accordingly, the tendency for MMPI scales to load inversely to social desirability on the primary factor is a consequent ...
This debate largely derives from differences in how investigators define the term “imitation” as well as the range of behavioral outcomes that this phenomenon encompasses (see Byrne, 2002). For example, does the exact action of the demonstrator have to be mimicked or is it more important ...
William Hoppitt and Kevin Laland define the mechanisms thought to underlie social learning and demonstrate how to distinguish them experimentally in the laboratory. They present techniques for detecting and quantifying social learning in nature, including statistical modeling of the spatial distribution of...
Social cognitive theory is rooted in a view of human agency in which individuals are proactively engaged in their own development and can make things happen by their actions. Individuals are imbued with certain capabilities that define what it is to be human. Primary among these are the capabilit...

Since new venture creation is an inherently social activity, entrepreneurs shape their behavior based on how ...
To assess the interplay between social intent and opinion change, we define suitable probabilities and odds ratios which are detailed in “Odds ratios” section. We consider the odds ratios (OR) of finding dimension\(d_i\)in comments with a\(\Delta\)(or posts that awarded a\(\Delta\)),...
