Abstract

The social mind is tailored to the problem of predicting other people. However, social cognition researchers have only just scratched the surface of the predictive social mind. Here we discuss a new framework for explaining how people organize social knowledge and use it for social prediction. Specifically, we propose a multi-layered framework of social cognition, where two hidden layers – others’ mental states and traits – support predictions about the observable layer – others’ actions. A parsimonious set of psychological dimensions structures each layer, and proximity within and across layers guides social prediction. This simple framework formalizes longstanding intuitions from social cognition, and in doing so, offers a generative model for deriving new hypotheses about predictive social cognition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
