—This article investigates the pedestrian group as an emergent agent. The article explores empirical data to derive emergent agency and formation state spaces and outline recurring patterns of walking behavior. In this analysis, pedestrian trajectories extracted from surveillance videos are used along with manually…

Living in a group creates a complex and dynamic environment in which the behavior of the individual is influenced by and affects the behavior of others. Although social interactions and group living are fundamental adaptations exhibited by many organisms, relatively little is known about how prior social experience…

Ingroup favoritism-the tendency to favor members of one’s own group over those in other groups-is well documented, but the mechanisms driving this behavior are not well understood. In particular, it is unclear to what extent ingroup favoritism is driven by preferences concerning the welfare of ingroup over outgroup…

Through Passive Sensing and Sociometry Authors: ['Diana Romero' 'Yasra Chandio' 'Fatima M. Anwar' 'Salma Elmalaki'] Understanding group behavior is essential for improving collaboration and productivity. While research on group behavior in virtual reality (VR) is significantly advanced, understanding group dynamics in…

'Andrew Philippides'] Computer simulations are increasingly used to monitor and predict behavior at large crowd events, such as mass gatherings, festivals and evacuations. We critically examine the crowd modeling literature and call for future simulations of crowd behavior to be based more closely on findings from…

'Harvey Whitehouse' 'Stefanie Zollmann' 'Craig McNaughton' 'Jamin Halberstadt'] Separate research streams have identified synchrony and arousal as two factors that might contribute to the effects of human rituals on social cohesion and cooperation. But no research has manipulated these variables in the field to…

The social structure of an animal group controls how members interact, and affects nearly every aspect of an individual’s behavior with others. Rodents are a model system for studying both individual and social behavior, and social status such as dominance affects access to mating opportunities and food resources.…

Humans share with other mammals and primates many social motivations and emotions, but they are also much more cooperative than even their closest primate relatives. Here I review recent comparative experiments and analyses that illustrate humans’ species-typical social motivations and emotions for cooperation in…

While synchronized movement has been shown to increase liking and feelings of togetherness between people, we investigated whether collective speaking in time would change the way that larger groups played a video game together. Anthropologists have speculated that the function of interpersonal coordination in dance…

Behavioral differences among groups can have profound impacts on individual fitness^1^, but the ontogeny of group-level differences is poorly characterized. Group-level differences may originate from genetic differences and/or subtle variation among individuals^2–5^, but they are also shaped over time by social…

A group of social animals, including humans, distributes work and rewards and establishes inter-individual relationships through shared experiences of working together. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying group work is essential for elucidating how social relationships are formed. Thus, a behavioral paradigm…

Drivers are agents, they are members of the group of drivers. Human groupings have hierarchical structure. The civilization consists of societies, societies consist of groups, and groups consist of individuals. We will consider the group of drivers. Every social group has power to organize individuals and use them for…

From animal societies to self-organizing multi-agent systems, collectives adapt their group structure to tasks and environments. However, how they determine appropriate group sizes and the number of subgroups to form remains unclear. We formulate the Group Size and Number Regulation Problem (GSNRP), which asks how…

The development of cooperative relations within and between firms plays an important role in the successful implementation of business strategy. How to produce such relations is less well understood. We build on work in relational contract theory and the evolution of cooperation to examine the conditions under which…

'Aafke van Mourik Broekman' 'Zhi-Xi Wu'] We examine how different forms of co-action give rise to feelings of solidarity. We propose that (a) coordinated action elicits a sense of solidarity, and (b) the process through which such solidarity emerges differs for different forms of co-action. We suggest that whether…

People do not only feel guilty for transgressions of social norms/expectations that they are causally responsible for, but they also feel guilty for transgressions committed by those they identify as in-group (i.e., collective or group-based guilt). However, the neurocognitive basis of group-based guilt and its…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

This study examined factors influencing student confidence and their perception of learning in the context of undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry courses. Anonymous online surveys were used to measure the extent to which small group work influenced student confidence in solving problems compared to working…

A concise linear encoding of group settings and group-subgroup relations is described. The simple notation allows for unambiguous generalized machine-coded space group settings and intergroup transformation relationships. A correlation between the notation and Hermann-Mauguin names is provided. Use of Hall notation…
