SCAD presents at the SPSP international conference

portlandIn February 2019, Paul Pluymen and Allison Pequet, presented: Quantifying Naturalistic Social Motivation: Implications for Real-World Behavior, at the 2019 SPSP international conference in Portland, Oregon.  The study examines levels of social motivation, in regard to interacting with a live social partner using a novel paradigm. The results suggest gender differences in how motivated people are to interact, as well as the use of social media effects on perceptions of social interactions.
