“…Literature on flattery suggests that people who receive praise tend to feel good, to like people who flatter them and to evaluate the flatterer more positively [15]. They also tend to believe that the flatterer is telling the truth [53]. Participants in the study believed they were interacting with other users; therefore, the study emulates human-to-human flattery.…”

“…The work lays a foundation for theory development regarding the effects of praise and feedback for community bonding and learning. While the goal of study was not to make explicit recommendations for design, insights about cognitive and affective processes can also lead to further research on which sociotechnical affordances and types of content encourage people to feel commitment to online groups [53].…”

People increasingly turn to social media to augment their broadcast viewing experience with a parallel stream of information and opinion. Known as "social watching," the practice of integrating broadcast media and social media has become routine for many citizens tracking live events and breaking news. In a controlled laboratory study, we examined how interactivity and exposure to social media opinions influence a sense of community, attitudes and discussion elaboration. The results suggest that receiving positive feedback to social media posts instills a psychological sense of community in the poster, and this feeling of connectedness is related to greater elaboration of the civic social media discussion. Secondly, the study found support for conformity effects. The third contribution of this work is a better understanding of how the valence of others' social media posts and the user's posting activity influences cognitive elaboration of social media discussions during social watching in civic contexts.

“…Some educators explicitly advise against any form of comparison in peer feedback, citing potential negative consequences for interpersonal relations and intrinsic motivation [5], and heightened risk of drop out in online courses [40]. However, such social comparisons may also build social proof to encourage positive learning habits [11], and help to match learners with potential mentors [30,34]. In a follow-up survey, 53.6% of learners indicated that they were interested in connecting with the peers with whom they exchanged feedback on Juxtapeer.…”

“…As the epigraph suggests, having a limited amount of time left in Paris and New York increased the author's appreciation of his surroundings. Indeed, according to the scarcity principle, when a resource is limited, the value of it increases (Cialdini, 2001). Conversely, resources that are in ample supply have little value because they are readily obtainable (Quoidbach, Dunn, Hansenne, & Bustin, 2015).…”

Reframing the ordinary: Imagining time as scarce increases well-being

We explored a counterintuitive approach to increasing happiness: Imagining time as scarce. Participants were randomly assigned to try to live this month (LTM) like it was their last in their current city (time scarcity intervention; n = 69) or to keep track of their daily activities (neutral control; n = 70). Each group reported their activities and their psychological need satisfaction (connectedness, competence, and autonomy) weekly for 4 weeks. At baseline, post-intervention, and 2-week follow-up, participants reported their well-being-a composite of life satisfaction, positive emotions, and negative emotions. Participants in the LTM condition increased in well-being over time compared to the control group. Furthermore, mediation analyses indicated that these differences in well-being were explained by greater connectedness, competence, and autonomy. Thus, imagining time as scarce prompted people to seize the moment and extract greater wellbeing from their lives. The curious thing was that with the loss of Paris threatening, we became more Parisian. The same thing, I had noted, had happened in our last few months in New York. The city, which had become increasingly difficult, suddenly seemed like a playground-people eating outside, in T-shirts and shorts and sneakers in the Italian restaurants in SoHo; the open-all-nightness of New York; the sweet funkiness-registered as it hadn't in years.
