Uncovering noisy social signals: Using optimization methods from experimental physics to study social phenomena
Due to the ubiquitous presence of treatment heterogeneity, measurement error, and contextual confounders, numerous social phenomena are hard to study. Precise control of treatment variables and possible confounders is often key to the success of studies in the social sciences, yet often proves out of the realm of control of the experimenter. To amend this situation we propose a novel approach c...
متن کاملSocial life, evolution of intelligence, behaviour and human brain size
Social life is one of the most critical factors of the evolution of the behavior of non-human primates and humans. Several factors, such as an increase in brain size, adaptive modules, and grooming, are related to the complexities of social groups. Although some scientists have mentioned foraging as a rival hypothesis for the evolution of behavior, in this research, we tried to investigate the ...
متن کاملUncovering Affinity of Artists to Multiple Genres from Social Behaviour Data
In organisation schemes, musical artists are commonly identified with a unique ‘genre’ label attached, even when they have affinity to multiple genres. To uncover this hidden cultural awareness about multi-genre affinity, we present a new model based on the analysis of the way in which a community of users organise artists and genres in playlists. Our work is based on a novel dataset that we ha...
متن کاملConservation and human behaviour: lessons from social psychology
Despite increased effort from non-governmental organisations, academics and governments over recent decades, several threats continue to cause species declines and even extinctions. Resource use by a growing human population is a significant driver of biodiversity loss, so conservation scientists need to be interested in the factors that motivate human behaviour. Economic models have been appli...
متن کاملCognitive neuroscience of human social behaviour.
We are an intensely social species--it has been argued that our social nature defines what makes us human, what makes us conscious or what gave us our large brains. As a new field, the social brain sciences are probing the neural underpinnings of social behaviour and have produced a banquet of data that are both tantalizing and deeply puzzling. We are finding new links between emotion and reaso...
