  • Strategies for Social Skills for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
    National Association of Special Education Teachers AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER SERIES Strategies for Social Skills for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder Introduction One of the most important areas for intervention for children with autism will be in the area of social skills development. Most students with ASD would like to be part of the social world around them. They have a need to interact socially and be involved with others. However, one of the defining characteristics of ASD is impairment in social interactions and social skills. Students with ASD have not automatically learned the rules of interaction with others, and they are unable to follow these unwritten rules of social behavior. This article will focus on this very important and relevant issue. Most students with ASD would like to be part of the social world around them. They have a need to interact socially and be involved with others. However, one of the defining characteristics of ASD is impairment in social interactions and social skills. Students with ASD have not automatically learned the rules of interaction with others, and they are unable to follow these unwritten rules of social behavior. Many people with ASD are operating on false perceptions that are rigid or overly literal. Recognizing these false perceptions can be very helpful in understanding the behavior and needs of these students in social situations. The misperceptions include: • rules apply in only a single situation • everything someone says must be true • when you do not know what to do, do nothing. Imagine how overly literal misconceptions could seriously limit social interaction.

  • The Emotional and Social Intelligences of Effective Leadership
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/0268-3946.htm The intelligences The emotional and social of effective intelligences of effective leadership leadership An emotional and social skill approach 169 Ronald E. Riggio and Rebecca J. Reichard Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California, USA Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a framework for conceptualizing the role of emotional and social skills in effective leadership and management and provides preliminary suggestions for research and for the development of leader emotional and social skills. Design/methodology/approach – The paper generalizes a dyadic communications framework in order to describe the process of emotional and social exchanges between leaders and their followers. Findings – The paper shows how emotional skills and complementary social skills are essential for effective leadership through a literature review and discussion of ongoing research and a research agenda. Practical implications – Suggestions for the measurement and development of emotional and social skills for leaders and managers are offered. Originality/value – The work provides a framework for emotional and social skills in order to illustrate their role in leadership and their relationship to emotional and social intelligences. It outlines a research agenda and advances thinking of the role of developable emotional and social skills for managers. Keywords Emotional intelligence, Social skills, Leadership development Paper type Conceptual paper In his classic work on managerial skills, Mintzberg (1973) listed specific interpersonal skills (i.e. the ability to establish and maintain social networks; the ability to deal with subordinates; the ability to empathize with top-level leaders) as critical for managerial effectiveness.

  • Social Psychology Glossary
    Social Psychology Glossary This glossary defines many of the key terms used in class lectures and assigned readings. A Altruism—A motive to increase another's welfare without conscious regard for one's own self-interest. Availability Heuristic—A cognitive rule, or mental shortcut, in which we judge how likely something is by how easy it is to think of cases. Attractiveness—Having qualities that appeal to an audience. An appealing communicator (often someone similar to the audience) is most persuasive on matters of subjective preference. Attribution Theory—A theory about how people explain the causes of behavior—for example, by attributing it either to "internal" dispositions (e.g., enduring traits, motives, values, and attitudes) or to "external" situations. Automatic Processing—"Implicit" thinking that tends to be effortless, habitual, and done without awareness. B Behavioral Confirmation—A type of self-fulfilling prophecy in which people's social expectations lead them to behave in ways that cause others to confirm their expectations. Belief Perseverance—Persistence of a belief even when the original basis for it has been discredited. Bystander Effect—The tendency for people to be less likely to help someone in need when other people are present than when they are the only person there. Also known as bystander inhibition. C Catharsis—Emotional release. The catharsis theory of aggression is that people's aggressive drive is reduced when they "release" aggressive energy, either by acting aggressively or by fantasizing about aggression. Central Route to Persuasion—Occurs when people are convinced on the basis of facts, statistics, logic, and other types of evidence that support a particular position.

These emergent structures evolved hand in hand with neural, hormonal, cel- lular, and genetic mechanisms to support them because the consequent social behaviors helped these organisms survive, reproduce, and care for offspring suf!ciently long that they too reproduced. Social neuroscience seeks to specify the neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms underlying social behavior, and in so doing to understand the associations and in"uences between social and biological levels of organization. Suc- cess in the !eld, therefore, is not measured in terms of the contributions to social psychology per se, but rather in terms of the speci!cation of the biological mechanisms underlying social interactions and behavior—one of the major problems for the neurosciences to address in the 21st century. Social species, by definition, create emergent organizations beyond the individ- ual—structures ranging from dyads and families to groups and cultures. These emergent social structures evolved hand in hand with neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms to support them because the consequent social behaviors helped these organisms survive, reproduce and, in the case of some social spe- cies, care for offspring sufficiently long that they too reproduced thereby ensuring their genetic legacy.

    Running head: TRAIT SOCIAL ANXIETY 1 Trait Social Anxiety as a Conditional Adaptation: A Developmental and Evolutionary Framework Tara A. Karasewich and Valerie A. Kuhlmeier Department of Psychology, Queen’s University Accepted for publication, Developmental Review CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Tara Karasewich Department of Psychology, Queen’s University Kingston, ON K7L 3N6 Canada E-mail: [email protected] © 2019. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ TRAIT SOCIAL ANXIETY 2 Abstract Individuals with trait social anxiety are disposed to be wary of others. Although feeling social anxiety is unpleasant, evolutionary psychologists consider it to be an adaptation. In current models, social anxiety is described as functioning to have helped our prehistoric ancestors avoid social threat by warning individuals when their interactions with other group members were likely to be negative and motivating them to act in ways to prevent conflict or limit its damage. Thus, trait social anxiety is thought to have evolved in our species because it allowed our ancestors to preserve their relationships and maintain their positions in social hierarchies. While we agree with this conclusion drawn by existing evolutionary models, we believe that there is an important element missing in these explanations: the role that individual development has played in the evolution of trait social anxiety. We propose a new model, which argues for trait social anxiety to be considered a conditional adaptation; that is, the trait should develop as a response to cues in the early childhood environment in order to prepare individuals to face social threat in adulthood.

Researchers using this approach have devised clever experimental designs to ensure the validity of their conclusions concerning social behavior (see Reis & Judd, 2000).
