“…4;2013 13 reputations, or resources later", the self is limited to the individual. For the theme "Our community is more advanced than other communities", the self is extended to the community, sometimes called a collective self-construal (e.g., Rice, Clayton, Trafimow, Keller, & Hughes, 2009). Finally, for the theme "The world is gradually progressing or could improve dramatically in the future", the self is extended to all humanity, analogous to the concept of humanity esteem (Luke & Maio, 2009).…”

Why do People Disseminate Fictitious Accounts? A Systematic Analysis of snopes.com

People often disseminate fictitious information and contrived anecdotes, some of which can be destructive. This paper explores the proposition that most, if not all, fictitious information can be classified into four clusters. Each cluster reinforces one of four underlying determinants of positive emotions-unambiguous duties, moral authorities, extensive capabilities, and stable values over time. This framework is derived from socio-emotional selectivity theory, self-discrepancy theory, and the meaning maintenance model. To assess these propositions, 1500 fictitious claims, derived from snopes.com, were subjected to thematic analysis. To code these claims, all nouns and verbs were translated to broader categories. Then, researchers sorted these abstracted claims into 88 piles of overlapping accounts. These 88 accounts were next sorted into 19 broader piles, each reflecting a distinct theme. All 19 themes aligned to one of the four underling determinants of positive emotions. These findings indicate that, arguably, the need to curb negative emotions and to foster positive emotions motivates these biased and fictitious accounts. The findings also highlight several distinct avenues in which each of these four needs can be fulfilled. The implications of these findings to a range of issues, from violence and mental illness to advertising and marketing, are discussed.

“…The individual and collective priming conditions added a description of how his decision benefitted either his own self-interest or his family's interest, respectively (see [4]). Next, participants listed five benefits of the warrior's decision (in the individual and collective conditions) or five events from their day (in the neutral control condition), taken from Rice et al [11]. The purpose of this was to increase the strength of the priming effect and to make sure that the participant read the prime (see Appendix S1).…”

“…Recent research has demonstrated self-construal priming effects in visual search behavior [11], [12] and visual pattern recognition [13]. Oyserman et al [13], [ see also 14] demonstrated that priming individual or collective self-construals results in differential processing of both visual and auditory stimuli.…”

Self-Construal Priming Affects Speed of Retrieval from Short-Term Memory

We investigated the effects of collective or individual self-construal priming on recall in a short-term memory (STM) task. We primed participants to either their individual or their collective self-construals or a neutral control condition. Participants then completed a STM retrieval task using either random or patterned digit strings. Findings revealed that priming an individual self-construal resulted in faster retrieval of information from STM for both stimulus types. These results indicate that individual self-accessibility improves retrieval speed of digits from STM, regardless of set configuration. More broadly, the present findings extend prior research by adding further evidence of the effects of self-construal priming on cognitive information processing.

“…Self-construal is conceptualized as individuals' belief and behavior regarding their relationship with others and the self that is distinct from others [103]. Different self-construals can lead to variations in personal thoughts and information processing [93,112]. For example, research has found that self-construal priming can affect an individual's decision-making [126], self-esteem [44] and visual search speed [93].…”

“…Trafimow and colleagues showed that self-construal could be primed by asking individuals to think about a question [112,126], by reading a story [93,112] or by using a specific language [62,111]. We adopted a priming method that has been used in previous studies (e.g., [112,126]).…”

Does Collectivism Inhibit Individual Creativity?

One particular problem CSCW and HCI scholars have sought to address through the design of collaborative systems is the issues associated with diversity and creativity. Diversity can promote creativity by exposing individuals to different perspectives and at the same time make it difficult for teams to leverage their differences to be more creative. This paper asserts that through the promotion of cooperation, collectivism will help ideation team members overcome the challenges associated with diversity and promote creativity. To examine this assertion, we conducted an experimental study involving 107 individuals in 33 idea-generation teams. Collectivism was promoted through priming. The results confirm our assertion: collectivism created conditions that facilitated creativity when teams were high in perceived diversity. Collectivism also facilitated more satisfaction among teammates by offsetting negative perceptions of diversity. These results offer new insights on collectivism, perceived diversity and creativity.
