The sense of should: A biologically-based framework for modeling social pressure
Publication date: Available online 23 January 2020Source: Physics of Life ReviewsAuthor(s): Jordan E. Theriault, Liane Young, Lisa Feldman BarrettAbstractWhat is social pressure, and how could it be adaptive to conform to others' expectations? Existing accounts highlight the importance of reputation and social sanctions. Yet, conformist behavior is multiply determined: sometimes, a person desires social regard, but at other times she feels obligated to behave a certain way, regardless of any reputational benefit—i.e. she feels a sense of should. We develop a formal model of this sense of should, beginning from a minimal ...
