Initial Expectations and Confidence Affect the Formation of Novel Self-Beliefs and Their Revision
Human self-beliefs hinge on social feedback, but their formation and revision are not solely based on new information. Biases during learning, such as confirming initial expectations, can lead to inaccurate beliefs. This study uses computational modeling to explore how initial expectations about one’s own and others’ abilities and confidence in these beliefs affect processes of belief formation and belief revision in novel behavioral domains. In …
Social Context Matters—Characterizing Adolescent Cooperation Strategies When Perceiving the Other as a Peer Versus Computer Partner
INTRODUCTION: Cooperation is a crucial prosocial skill refined during adolescence, a period marked by increased interactions with peers and artificial intelligence agents. While adolescents prioritize peer relationships, it remains unclear whether this translates into increased trust and reciprocity during social exchange. This study explores whether adolescents differentiate their cooperation strategies when interacting with human peers versus a…
Induced negative affect hinders self-referential belief updating in response to social feedback
When people receive feedback from others, this is an opportunity for them to update their self-views. People with mental health problems (e.g., depression), however, often have difficulty using social feedback to update negative beliefs about themselves. To better understand when and how difficulties with integrating social feedback manifest, we investigated how current affect influences social feedback processing. Our preregistered hypothesis wa…
