题目: Representing relationships 社会关系刻画

演讲人: Tanya Menon

地点: 同济大厦A楼 901室

讲座摘要:

She studies how people mentally represent their social relationships.  People have to make sense of a wide variety of social actors—other individuals, groups, and leaders—in order to determine who to learn from and who to trust. In order to fill in the blanks as they make decisions, people use metaphor, i.e. they borrow knowledge from one domain to understand other domains.  Her research considers the metaphors that people use to make sense of their social relationships.

She will talk about some related papers within this research program.  First, She will briefly talk about (published research) that indicates that people use spatial position to understand a leader’s social position. She will then present newer data (on a project with Catherine Shea) that indicates people’s limits in thinking in network terms.  These papers all involve a unique drawing method that goes beyond typical laboratory experiments.  By coding participants’ drawings of social stimuli, we can capture people’s instinctive mental models of social relationships without the biases of experimentally-imposed stimulus materials.  She will conclude by describing some ways that she has been using these methods in the classroom.
