Social Perception - Science topic

Yes, there are scientifically validated measures for Knowledge, Attitude, Awareness, and Action/Buying, often referred to as KAA or KAB frameworks. These typically involve:

These measures are commonly used in health, marketing, and social research to assess the effectiveness of interventions or campaigns.

Check on this paper.

I am not a superstitious believer, nor can a scientist believe in superstitions, but there are miracles that everyone believes in.

Totally agree to that, However sustaining sensitivity towards these issues after the pandemic remains to be seen...

Dr Juan Carlos Torrico , thank you for your comment! You argue that population should be part of the process regarding how facing its owns problems in a sustainable way.

In my opinion, the main cause of corruption is the morality.

Hamida Begum Thank you for your suggestions. The suggested paper is really helpful for me.

Teachers' beliefs in justice world affect the way they manage class room situations, so that, they reflect such behaviors on their students' formation of social perception about justice world, specially among children then teenagers.

I suggest you visit the following sites for recent works in social perception:

Thank you for your insight Olivier Serrat

Your biological sex is in most cases clear at birth. Your psychological test you can test you yourself with the test we used in these papers. If you are a woman but have a masculine gender IT DOES NOT MEAN that you shall change your biological sex, it mean that you have a broader sense of being and can be pleased. Also for men vise verse.

You need to precisely define the issue .That is, what is the problem for which you are seeking the solution/ answer. Secondly you must spell out the objectives of the study. Testing observing skills is too broad area to be explored in a single study. You need to specify which aspect of the observation skills you are going to investigate. In addition you need to specify the setting or context in which you will explore the intended area of the observation skills.

It really depends in the social environment, in some societies there is an expectation for a single relationship, in others, there is more fluidity. In all societies, there is an attempt to regulate sexual and romantic behaviours.

Remember that the meanings of color will vary in different cultures. n China, the color associated with mourning for the dead is white, but in America, black is the color of mourning.

If you are working in international contexts, be sure to research this before deciding the color pallet of your project.

Is a very good question. And the answer is that NOT necessarily, because the world is upside down and corrupt activities are sometimes greater and more common than ethical practices, and as a consequence corruption, selfishness, the desire for money and other toxic practices manage markets more than ethical practices, that are not necessarily competitive at this time on the planet, unfortunately. I Hope that will change for the better soon.

This is interesting query. I think there are two ways to think about it. Firstly, we have extended ourselves and our information about other groups and cultures on a scale that is expansive and incredibl. Secondly, people have distanced themselves from others sitting next to them and become lonely. Overall, I feel that we are gathering more psychological space in our devices but have no real time sense of people's lives and events happening right in front of us.

Socially speaking, farting or passing wind is strongly refused in Iraq. If a person is known to fart frequently, that person is socially made fun of. Also, as a metaphorical expression the person who does wrong things or suggests illogical ideas is dubbed as ''keeping farting around."

Using the mosaic plot is part of exploring your data.

It does not assist in analysis.

The standardized residuals are residuals divided by its standard deviation, where the residual is the difference between the data response and the fitted response.

The appreciation of a residual is a key understanding one gains from a basic statistics course - or book.

To work out an analysis plan you need a question to ask?

You have data by month these would NOT be independent. The data may be from a questionnaire- each question may need a separate analysis. Or is the data answers from one question- these aspects of the structure of the data will inform how you analyse the data . What type of data do you have - is it from a multi-level survey? (Villages or regions- are clusters that need to be part of the analysis)

The best thing is to find a local statistician and get some assistance.

The issues of the use of information contained in Big Data database systems for the purposes of conducting Business Intelligence analyzes are described in the publications:

I invite you to discussion and cooperation. Greetings

Thank you Ivan, I'll visit these sites and tell you my impression.

Thank you for your email.

As with most technology, social media portals are not inherently good or bad - it is how we use them that matter the most. Skills of digital and information literacy are key in determining the validity and accuracy of information conveyed through social media, and the role of governments and platform owners in assuring an appropriate governance and regulatory regime is also paramount. Social media portals can strengthen democracy and provide a forum for civic discourse and participation; but they can also provide a conduit for the dissemination of misinformation and misinformed propaganda.

Yes, there is a clear possibility, particularly if the group is homogeneous.

Hello,

I think social perception of an event is different from a sum of individual perceptions; because of the attribution. Social perception of an event from an individual view, affected by self-perception and person-perception, which is affected by many qualities as; personality, physical appearance, behavioral tendencies, moral stature, athletic prowess, and the like, all affect the focal point of perception and attribution.

While individual perception represents other attribution; two sets of approaches to group perception predominate: those concerned with reference group choices and effects, and those addressing social categorization processes. (Farmer 1992) .

I hope you find my answer helpful for you, with all my best,

Samah.

Hi maybe this can be of help?

Just saw this reply .... Thanks!

 Hi Mitch,

That is a fabulous question! I don’t know that I understand the ‘salient social motives’ part, but I would have thought that the use of thin-slice methodology might be a useful way to capture the preference for extraversion. For instance, in the study below by Oveis et al. (2009), they used children’s smile intensity in a posed photograph and found that it correlated with parental measures of the children’s extraversion. This would be one way to start the process: What kind of differential preference might be shown for photographs with more salient smiles (as a visual marker for extraversion?)

Oveis, C., Gruber, J., Keltner, D., Stamper, J. L., & Boyce, W. T. (2009). Smile intensity and warm touch as thin slices of child and family affective style. Emotion, 9(4), 544.

kindest regards,

Christian

Dear Patricia

Thank you for your question and for sharing your thoughts. Please excuse my late reply. Nothing specific happened in Switzerland which would actually question the field of psychology or the role of psychologists. The goal of my bachelor paper is to find out how people living in Switzerland perceive mentioned topic in general. Do people have prejudices against psychologists? Would they ever consider reaching out for support provided by a psychologist if they found themselves in a difficult situation? Are there differences in answering these questions between people of different background, gender or age? Are people aware of the numerous job specializations in the field of psychology? These are just a few questions I am trying to focus on.

Please let me know if any questions persist. Your input is appreciated.

Best regards

Murielle

Sorry I made a mistake!  I meant the lay understandings of schizophrenia! Thank you so much! I have read that article! I will email again Furnham but he is not replacing to me. Thank you so much

Certainly there is different perception. You may find below article useful.

J Genet Psychol. 2011 Apr-Jun;172(2):162-75 Adult age and gender differences in perceptions of facial attractiveness: beauty is in the eye of the older beholder

I would suggest looking at literature on implicit and social identity theories and Arab world worldview and attempt to make a connection to the specific context you are interested in.

Wishing you good luck,  I imagine any questionnaire (valid & reliable) is providing the perspective of the person answering the questionnaire...  Perhaps the focus in finding the right survey needs to focus on who they are answering questions about.  For example, disabled adults perspectives on children with disability...or disabled adults perspectives on able bodied family members...etc.  Sharing your aim or research question may help others guide you to some possible survey.  Best.

Hi Jason, somewhat related might be an article we wrote some years ago; Here we found that that the classic black-sheep effect is mediated by cognitive resource allocation, such that information about an ingroup deviant (someone "failing" to adhere to ingroup norms) is processed more deeply than the same information about an outgroup deviant. Maybe that helps.

reference: Reese, G., Steffens, M. C., & Jonas, K. J. (2013). When black sheep make us think: Information processing and devaluation of in-and outgroup norm deviants. Social Cognition, 31(4), 482-503.

Dear Sultan,

Thank you for your question. It would seem that the emphasis and importance placed on providing care and resources to elderly people, and the concurrent training of Geriatricians to look after them is going through a "U shaped" curve over the last 50-60 years.

In the early 1900s, work in this area really started in earnest with the formation of the National Health System in UK in 1948 by Aneurin Bevan, and the creation of the British Geriatric Society by Marjorie Warren and colleagues in 1947.

They both complemented each other as the NHS provided the means to enable to delivery of comprehensive Geriatric services to all based on need and funded by central taxation. The importance of this cannot be over emphasised, as often then those whom needs help the most can afford it the least, particularly for a majority of the elderly and very elderly in those days who do not have access to the benefits of pensions, state subsidies not the ability to afford private health care insurance or private health services prior to the second world war.

Services were streamlined across the country and available locally, close to where the elderly patients were. Also, the sheer scale of the NHS (i.e. every citizen and resident of the United Kingdom were it's pateints) brought with it the benefits of the economy of scale and allowed the provision of care to be rolled out on a large scale.

It was fertile land for the development and delivery of geriatric medicine.

With the passage of the NHS Bill (aka Health and Social Care Act) in 2012, the funding landscape will change drastically in the coming years.

 Care of Geriatric patients may still be a moral necessity, but it now carries with it the imperative to reduce costs of care and services. What is "efficient" and what is "necessary" is of course subjective and open to interpretation.

In developed countries, the availability of state pensions, state subsidies and personal savings will allow the access of the elderly and very elderly to services. However, in developing countries, there will likely be a generation whom will not be able to find the funds for these, nor have a sizeable political voice.

However, I believe that when the more well educated and financially more capable "Baby boomer" generation (1946-1964) and beyond joins the rank of the "Geriatric" population (i.e. >65), the importance of providing for an excellent geriatric healthcare service will become a political imperative once again. 

Hence the"curve" and attention will rise once more.
