SELF-AWARENESS, INFORMATION UTILIZATION, AND SOCIAL-INFLUENCE IN COOPERATIVE TASK SETTINGS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The relation between self-awareness and the utilization of information in cooperative task settings is investigated. Of particular interest is the impact of self-awareness upon actors' decisions to use differentiating status information in task interactions. The experimental findings indicate that self-awareness decreases the importance of the status information. This suggests that self-awareness inhibits actors' ability to monitor the social environment. Consequently, the differentiating status information assumes less importance in determining social influence within the task group. 1983 by the Ohio Valley Sociological Society.
