Document Summary
Opposite of cognitive control (effortful, attentive, conscious, deliberate, etc. ) We aren"t aware of most of the things that make us behave the ways that we do. Research suggests that a lot of our social behaviour is guided by influences we aren"t aware of (relates to social situations) Mimicry and social bonding (being mimicked by a stranger = more sense of social harmony and likability (bargh and chartrand) Face perception and social judgements (competency judgements after seeing faces for a few milliseconds successfully predict outcomes of elections) *ballew and todrov. Priming and stereotyping (priming with elderly stereotypes causes people to walk more slowly and judge hills to be steeper) * bargh et al. Priming and prosocial behaviour (infants primed with pictures with prosocial behaviour were more likely to help the experimenter who dropped their things) *a lot of our behaviour = automatically driven by social situations.
