    We have a new paper accepted at Physics of Life Reviews! We outline a model of social pressure, showing how it may be individually adaptive to conform to others’ expectations, with radical implications for accounts of social cognition and prosocial behavior. To foreground a few:

    Democratic Party leaders are considering a mid-election rule change to reintroduce first round superdelegates in order to stop Bernie Sanders, who party operatives fear will enter convention with the most voter support.

    Pre-reg advocates are basically trying to strengthen the rigor of the statistical testing framework, while others advocate for a change in practice completely (i.e. toward modeling our data and away from statistical testing). This divide seems to create a lot of tension.

    I can’t stop watching this. If I was in any other camp, watching this would definitely make me question my alliances. I’m stunned by this video. This is amazing.

    Yes, yep, 100% - do this. “Awesome” is a severe understatement. Happy to chat to anyone who is interested and has questions!

    In the next few months, we will also receive and respond to comments, to be published in Physics of Life Reviews. So I look forward to continuing the conversation and elaborating on these ideas with the help of others!

    Thank you for reading! This paper has been a labor of love over the last couple of years, so if you’ve met me I’m sure I have talked your ear off about it. Thank you to everyone who has listened along the way, and to my fantastic advisors and !

    Finally, we connect our model with its implications for motivated cognition. If you feel compelled to behave as others expect, and others can accurately infer your beliefs, you may feel compelled to adopt or dispel certain your own beliefs, in accordance with that pressure.

    So, if a behavior becomes expected by historical accident (eg. marriage customs; see below), then an arbitrary norm may become self-reinforcing. This means that observed human behaviors cannot be assumed to be adaptive. Psychology must incorporate history

    Note: conforming might harm or help for other content-related reasons—e.g. ritual self-harm. BUT, for the purposes of maintaining a predictable environment (which, we argue, has fitness consequences) it ONLY matters that you conform to expectations, no matter how arbitrary.

    Maybe most exciting to me: our model makes clear how social constructs and historical contingencies interact with individual psychology and brain biology. Critically, for a sense of should, conforming to an expectation is adaptive REGARDLESS of its content.

    Our model also ends up looking very similar to some models developed to explain “guilt aversion”, although our explanation is not specific to guilt, and explains the involvement of affect in decision making more generally.

    In behavioral economics, it is usually assumed that selfishness provides a short-term benefit and cooperators benefit long-term. We suggest that conforming to others’ expectations provides an ultra short-term benefit. The reward is a predictable environment, made RIGHT NOW.

    Next, we outline how our model relates to communication. We focused on conforming to others’ expectations, but if you can influence those expectations you might regulate the environment via another route: guiding others to accurately predict your actions.

    In other words, the more predictable a social environment, the more each individual stands to lose by disrupting it. This is consistent with work by : Wiki editors use disruptive “revert” actions in bursts, but decrease use as things stabilize.

    However, predictability (and metabolic efficiency) is only one facet of evol. fitness. What if you are personally harmed by the status quo? Unless it is intolerable, you may feel conflicted. Things could improve by challenging it, but things are predictable if it is maintained.
