Social Intelligence Flashcards
Summarise the timeline of intelligence theories (other than g). What is social and emotional intelligence?
Lecture 6, slide 3
How did Thorndike and Vernon describe social intelligence (SI)?
Lecture 6, slide 4
What are some problematic psychometrics of SI?
Lecture 6, slide 5
Who proposed the Theory of Multiple Intelligences? What is interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence? Is this theory supported by evidence?
Lecture 6, slide 6-8
Describe some early attempts to measure SI.
Lecture 6, slide 11
What are some issues associated with designing a test for all aspects of SI?
Lecture 6, slide 12-14
- lots of processes are involved in social cognition
- we don’t know the structure of SI, so it’s hard to design a test that covers all aspects of it
Give some evidence that suggests that SI and IQ are not distinct.
Lecture 6, slide 15
Give some evidence that suggests that SI and IQ are distinct.
Lecture 6, slide 16
Suggest why there may be variance across studies that investigate whether SI and IQ are distinct.
Lecture 6, slide 17
What is mentalising (theory of mind) and what are mental states?
Lecture 6, slide 22
What is an ‘explicit and ‘implicit mentalizing system?
Lecture 6, slide 23-24
What are two arguments in the implicit mentalizing debate?
Lecture 6, slide 25
Give a social reason for the consistency effects observed in the Dot Perspective Task.
Lecture 6, slide 26-33
Give a non-social reason for the consistency effects observed in the Dot Perspective Task.
Lecture 6, slide 34-36
How would you determine if the consistency effects observed in the Dot Perspective Task are due to implicit mentalization? What were the results for such attempts?
Lecture 6, slide 37-57
