Social Expectation Improves Speech Perception in Noise
Language and Speech, 2015Co-Authors: Kevin B. McgowanAbstract:Listeners’ use of Social information during speech perception was investigated by measuring transcription accuracy of Chinese-accented speech in noise while listeners were presented with a congruent Chinese face, an incongruent Caucasian face, or an uninformative silhouette. When listeners were presented with a Chinese face they transcribed more accurately than when presented with the Caucasian face. This difference existed both for listeners with a relatively high level of experience and for listeners with a relatively low level of experience with Chinese-accented English. Overall, these results are inconsistent with a model of Social speech perception in which listener bias reduces attendance to the acoustic signal. These results are generally consistent with exemplar models of Socially indexed speech perception predicting that activation of a Social category will raise base activation levels of Socially appropriate episodic traces, but the similar performance of more and less experienced listeners sugg...

Social Expectation Improves Speech Perception in Noise.
Language and speech, 2015Co-Authors: Kevin B. McgowanAbstract:Listeners' use of Social information during speech perception was investigated by measuring transcription accuracy of Chinese-accented speech in noise while listeners were presented with a congruent Chinese face, an incongruent Caucasian face, or an uninformative silhouette. When listeners were presented with a Chinese face they transcribed more accurately than when presented with the Caucasian face.

Overall, these results are inconsistent with a model of Social speech perception in which listener bias reduces attendance to the acoustic signal. These results are generally consistent with exemplar models of Socially indexed speech perception predicting that activation of a Social category will raise base activation levels of Socially appropriate episodic traces, but the similar performance of more and less experienced listeners suggests the need for a more nuanced view with a role for both detailed experience and listener stereotypes.

Significance of Perceived Social Expectation and Implications to Conservation Education: Turtle Conservation as a Case Study
Environmental management, 2012Co-Authors: Alex T. Chow, Sze Man CheungAbstract:The likelihood of participating in wildlife conservation programs is dependent on Social influences and circumstances. This view is validated by a case study of behavioral intention to support conservation of Asian turtles. A total of 776 college students in China completed a questionnaire survey designed to identify factors associated with their intention to support conservation. A regression model explained 48 % of variance in the level of intention. Perceived Social Expectation was the strongest predictor, followed by attitudes toward turtle protection and perceived behavioral control, altogether explaining 44 %. Strong ethics and socio-economic variables had some statistical significant impacts and accounted for 3 % of the variance. The effects of general environmental awareness, trust and responsibility ascription were modest. Knowledge about turtles was a weak predictor. We conclude that perceived Social Expectation is a limiting factor of conservation behavior. Sustained interest and commitment to conservation can be created by enhancing positive Social influences. Conservation educators should explore the potential of professionally supported, group-based actions that can nurture a sense of collective achievement as part of an educational campaign.

Modeling interactions using Social integrity constraints: A resource sharing case study
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004Co-Authors: Marco Alberti, Marco Gavanelli, Evelina Lamma, Paola Mello, Paolo TorroniAbstract:Computees are abstractions of the entities situated in global and open computing environments. The societies that they populate give an institutional meaning to their interactions and define the allowed interaction protocols. Social integrity constraints represent a powerful though simple formalism to express such protocols. Using Social integrity constraints, it is possible to give a formal definition of concepts such as violation, fulfillment, and Social Expectation. This allows for the automatic verification of the Social behaviour of computees. The aim of this paper is to show by way of a case study how the theoretical framework can be used in practical situations where computees can operate. The example that we choose is a resource exchange scenario.

Develop Urban Science Studies,Make City Growth Scientifically:Review and Prospect the Urban Science Studies
Urban Development Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Ren ZhiyuaAbstract:This paper is focus on the urban science studies. Combed the development of urban science on city awakening,times calling,decision- making,discipline constructing. The author thought that urban science should be paying high attention,and should be established the concept of urban science develop city scientific,to perspective the urban science studies on situation calls,Social Expectation,discipline development and dreams of technology,etc.
