“…[29] To understand and predict behaviour, it is important to know which social norms individuals find salient in particular contexts-that is, which norms are likely to be dependent on particular settings. [30,31] The normative system of nursing with respect to HH behaviour can be measured through learning about (a) individual's preferences for 'proper' HH action, (b) expectations of others' HH behaviour, and (c) beliefs about the expectations others have of them in this regard. We sought to identify nurses' social norms regarding hand hygiene and whether the social norms have a causal influence on behaviour.…”

Hand hygiene is the simplest and most effective measure for preventing healthcareassociated infections. Despite the simplicity of this procedure and advances made in infection control, hospital health care workers' compliance to hand hygiene recommendations is generally low. Nurses have the most frequent patient care interactions, and thus more opportunities to practice hand hygiene. As such, it is important to identify and understand determinants of nurses' reported compliance. Formative research was undertaken to assess the potential impact of several unexamined factors that could influence HH among nurses: professional role and status, social affiliation, social norms, and physical modifications to the work environment (as well as institutional factors like safety climate). A survey questionnaire was developed primarily to inform the creation of a behaviour change intervention. The survey looked at how these factors influence HH among nurses and sought to identify barriers and levers to reported hand hygiene. It was administered to a survey panel of acute care nurses, working in US hospitals, with a year or more of experience. Multivariate regression modelling suggested that reported hand hygiene compliance was most likely to be a function of a hospital management's communication openness, perceived performance by peers, increased interactions with patients and other staff members, and the reduction in stress, busyness, and cognitive load associated with role performance. A powerful, effective intervention on HH among nurses therefore could be directed at improving communication openness, consider the impact of perceived performance by peers, increase interactions with patients and staff, and determine how to reduce the stress and cognitive load associated with role performance.

Leave inference alone: Direct inferential social cognition

Direct perception and theory–theory approaches to social cognition are opposed with respect to whether social cognition is inferential. The latter argues that it is inferential, the former that it is not. This article argues that the opposition in terms of inference is mistaken. A sense of inference is specified on which social cognition can be inferential and directly perceptual. Arguing for inferential social cognition does not commit to a defense of indirect social cognition if inferential access to other minds can be direct. Contrary convictions are symptomatic of working with too simplistic a notion of inference. The dispute between direct and inferentialist social cognition is one in which both sides can be right. The argument, then, is that inferentialism should not be called on to witness in favor or disfavor of advocates of either direct or indirect social cognition.

“…Ocenia się tam tezę Anthony'ego Chemero o normatywności afordancji, a także omawia możliwości społecznego ujęcia tej ich roli, w odniesieniu do intuicji filozoficznych, głównie Wittgensteina (Heras-Escribano i de Pinedo, 2016;Rietveld i Kiverstein, 2014;Lo Presti, 2016). Analizy te dotyczą afordancji w ujęciach postgibsonowskich, co omawiam w innej pracy (Wachowski, 2018 [w druku]).…”

AbstraktO społecznym uwikłaniu rzeczy można mówić nie tylko językiem posthumanizmu. Ludzie projektują i wytwarzają artefakty. Społeczny charakter tym ostatnim nadaje nie tylko wykorzystanie powszechne czy we współpracy między ludźmi, lecz również system różnorodnych norm społecznych, w ramach którego korzystamy z tych rzeczy, co zarysowuję we wprowadzeniu. Wątek usytuowania artefaktów społecznych w praktykach normatywnych podejmuję z perspektywy ekologii poznawczej i jednocześnie teorii dizajnu, korzystających z koncepcji afordancji; przedstawiam to w trzech kolejnych częściach pracy. Trzecia z nich zawiera też wstępne omówienie roli standaryzacji rzeczy masowo produkowanych lub wykorzystywanych przez duże grupy ludzi. W następnej części próbuję zidentyfikować zakres uwikłania rzeczy w realizację codziennych praktyk normatywnych; zwracam przy tym uwagę nie tylko na afordancje, lecz i na rolę emocji, rozciągam też zakres rozważań na obiekty użytku publicznego oraz wskazuję na rolę innych ludzi.
