Feature-based reward learning shapes human social learning strategies
Human adaptation depends on individuals strategically choosing whom to learn from. A mosaic of social learning strategies-such as copying majorities or successful others-has been identified. Influential theories conceive of these strategies as fixed heuristics, independent of experience. However, such accounts cannot explain the flexibility and individual variability prevalent in social learning. Here we advance a domain-general reward learning f…
The transfer of social threat learning to decision making is robust to extinction
Through traditional mass media and online social media, we are almost constantly exposed to second-hand experiences of trauma and violence, providing ample opportunities for us to learn about threats through social means. This social threat learning can influence instrumental decision making through a social learning to decision-making transfer process, resembling the so-called Pavlovian to instrumental transfer effect, resulting in consequences …
Incidental ostracism emerges from simple learning mechanisms
A clash of values
Humans and nonhuman primates preferentially learn to fear and avoid archetypical fear-relevant stimuli. Yet how these learning biases influence adaptive behavior, the basic mechanistic underpinnings of these biases, and how they interact with learning experiences during the life span of an individual remain unknown. To study this, we investigated how 4 classes of fear-relevant stimuli (snakes, threatening in-group faces, racial out-group faces, a…
Threat-relevance impairs executive functions
The effects of emotional stimulus content on attention are well-known. In contrast, the impact of emotional information on higher executive control functions is undetermined. To elucidate the role of negative emotion in cognitive control, 56 adult female participants performed a combined working memory and response inhibition task, with threat-relevant (spider and snake) and neutral (flower and mushroom) stimuli. Threat-relevant stimuli impaired …
The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus
The Mayors Caucus began as a forum to foster cooperation among the municipalities in the Chicago metropolitan region. After its establishment, the Mayors Caucus became a regional stakeholder, representing the mayors in coalitions with the region’s civic organizations, developing a legislative action team to pass legislation in the Illinois General Assembly, and serving as a forum for regional consensus building. This research is a case study of t…
Contextualizing salutogenesis and Antonovsky in public health development
More than 20 years have passed since the American-Israeli medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky introduced his salutogenic theory 'sense of coherence' as a global orientation to view the world, claiming that the way people view their life has a positive influence on their health. Sense of coherence explains why people in stressful situations stay well and even are able to improve their health. The origin of salutogenesis derives from the interview…
Regional Cooperation and Sustainable Growth
Nine councils of government in the Chicago region exemplify a new institutional arrangement in regional governance. Formed partially from the need of mayors and managers to consult on issues specific to their subregions and from the federal requirement for local consultation on transportation issues, the councils of government have become articulate advocates for suburban and regional, rather than urban or rural, policy agendas. They exemplify a …
A Sense of Place
One of the classic questions in urban sociology is how social relations and solidarity are maintained in an urbanized, industrialized, bureaucratic society. The two pivotal research focuses have been the issues of (1) the persistence of territorially based affective ties and primary relations in an urban world and (2) the micro/macro links connecting community residents and the larger society. This article argues that social bonds and solidarity …
Chicago's Post-Industrial Suburbs
Chicago's suburbs provide an excellent research site for an investigation into the growth patterns of a postindustrial metropolitan region. Evidence for the two dominant explanations for urban development, the urban ecological model and the neo-Marxian political economy model, is found in Chicago's suburban growth in the past 50 years. In addition, evidence for a model of local policy intervention by federal bureaucracies, intergovernmental agenc…
