Preferred term
unconscious social behavior
Definition
- Psychological explanations attribute social behavior to the individual's mental states—the thoughts, feelings, and desires that cause the individual to act in a particular way toward others. While the cognitive revolution in social psychology appeared to emphasize the role of conscious cognition in social interaction, a recent trend has been to underscore the role of unconscious cognitive processes automatically evoked by stimulus inputs and executed outside phenomenal awareness and voluntary control.
