Social Baseline Theory: The Role of Social Proximity in Emotion and Economy of Action

Abstract: Social proximity and interaction attenuate cardiovascular arousal, facilitate the development of nonanxious temperament, inhibit the release of stress hormones, reduce threat-related neural activation, and generally promote health and longevity. Conversely, social subordination, rejection and isolation are powerful sources of stress and compromised health. Drawing on the biological principle of economy of action, perception ⁄ action links, and the brain's propensity to act as a Bayesian predictor, Social Basel… Show more

“…Across the terrain of affective science, several key ideas are relevant to the present review. First, emotional states provide rapid, vital and often implicit information about the world that guides perception, action preparation, and behavior (e.g., Beckes & Coan, 2011;Clore & Ortony, 2000;Schwarz & Clore, 1983), and these actions often have a social function (Morris & Keltner, 2000). In this way, affective experiences are an important source information (Clore, Gasper, Garvin, 2001), and emotion drives behavior and mobilizes resources to meet adaptive challenges (Frijda, 1986).…”

“…Missing from many of these formulations is the role of emotional states as intermediaries between the presence of social resources and these shifts in perception (cf., Beckes and Coan, 2011). Insofar as emotional states provide rapid, heuristic information about the costs and benefits of a given action (Schwartz & Clore, 1983;Zadra & Clore, 2011), and insofar as a wide variety of social processes alter our emotional states (Coan, 2011;Levenson et al, 2013), social factors such as relative proximity to and reliability of social resources affect perception via changes in emotional state.…”

“…Relatedly, our findings indicate an important role of social thermoregulation in people's sense of homeliness, and future research could then assess people's internal working models of others, stress, anxiety, and depression linked to their home. As such, we can start understanding the role of the home in a larger spectrum of regulatory resources, like other people (Beckes & Coan, 2011). There may thus be an important caregiving role for realtors in helping people find the right home for their individual needs.…”

“…The concept that energy must be distributed across these general categories of tasks seems to be a core feature of evolutionary biology. Crucially, humans appear to have developed an unique ecological niche, one that is primarily social in nature (Beckes and Coan, 2011), and requires heavy investment in offspring (typically thought of as K-selection; MacArthur and Wilson, 1967;Trivers, 1972). SBT postulates that others help regulate metabolic resources, both in dyadic relationships as well as throughout development.…”
