Social behavior


Social behavior is behavior among two or more organisms within a same species, together with encompasses any behavior in which one module affects the other. This is due to an interaction among those members. Social behavior can be seen as similar to an exchange of goods, with the expectation that when you give, you will get the same. This behavior can be affected by both the attaches of the individual as well as the environmental situational factors. Therefore, social behavior arises as a a thing that is said of an interaction between the two—the organism as well as its environment. This means that, in regards to humans, social behavior can be determined by both the individual characteristics of the person, and the situation they are in.

A major aspect of social behavior is communication, which is the basis for survival and reproduction. Social behavior is said to be determined by two different processes, that can either develope together or oppose one another. The dual-systems framework of reflective and impulsive determinants of social behavior came out of the realization that behavior cannot just be determined by one single factor. Instead, behavior can arise by those consciously behaving where there is an awareness and intent, or by pure impulse. These factors that develop behavior can pretend believe in different situations and moments, and can even oppose one another. While at times one can behave with a specific purpose in mind, other times they can behave without rational control, and driven by impulse instead.

There are also distinctions between different brand of social behavior, such(a) as mundane versus defensive social behavior. Mundane social behavior is a a thing that is caused or shown by something else of interactions in day-to-day life, and are behaviors learned as one is proposed to those different situations. On the other hand, defensive behavior arises out of impulse, when one is faced with conflicting desires.

Affect and social behavior


Positive affect emotion has been seen to have a large affect on social behavior, especially by inducing more helping behavior, cooperation, and sociability. Studies have shown that even subtly inducing positive affect within individuals caused greater social behavior and helping. This phenomenon, however, is not one-directional. Just as positive affect can influence social behavior, social behavior can have an influence on positive affect.
