“…Pitcher and Magurran (1986); Witte and Ryan (2002); Hamilton and Dill (2003) asserted that social environment consistently creates impact toward individual performance due to the interaction with other people. Besides, social environment can also create indirectly or passively toward actual physical changes (Geva and Bloch, 2005).…”

The emergence of "experience" as another forms of business offerings (Pine and Gilmore, 1999) and the failure of implementing customer relationship management to create the expected levels of value for customers and profitability for organizations (Palmer, 2010;Barnes, 2002) have prompted the practitioners and academic scholars to explore the successor of customer relationship management, which is known as customer experience. Pine and Gilmore (1999) asserted that companies need to create memorable experiences to each customer for the purpose of generating greater economic value in the experience-based economy, instead of simply making goods and delivering services to the customers (Kim, Cha, Knutson and Beck, 2011). For the purpose of creating differentiated and memorable customer experience, this research paper would like to evaluate the direct and indirect relationship between social environment and customer experience (including sensory experience, emotional experience and social experience). A total of 330 respondents participate in this research. The findings revealed thatsocial environment is related to the sensory experience and emotional experience respectively.Furthermore, the research findings also concluded the interactive relationships between the dimensions of the customer experience: (1) the sensory experience is positively related to the emotional experience; (2) the emotional experience is positively related to the social experience; and (3) the sensory experience is positively related to the social experience.

“…(a) Mate-choice copying in non-human species: a brief review Mate-choice copying has been observed among females in a number of different non-human species [3][4][5][6], including fish [7][8][9][10] and bird species [11][12][13]. Such studies have generally shown that when females observe another female (the model) to be paired with one of two males (the targets), they are subsequently more likely to prefer the target male they had seen paired with the model over the male that was not paired with the model.…”

“…In other mating systems, however, benefits to males may lead to copying. For example, male sailfin mollies copy the apparent preferences of other males [10,15]. In this species, copying may be advantageous because of a short period of sexual receptivity in females, leading to a need for males to efficiently identify females who are receptive [10,15].…”

Inspired by studies demonstrating mate-choice copying effects in non-human species, recent studies of attractiveness judgements suggest that social learning also influences human preferences. In the first part of our article, we review evidence for social learning effects on preferences in humans and other animals. In the second part, we present new empirical evidence that social learning not only influences the attractiveness of specific individuals, but can also generalize to judgements of previously unseen individuals possessing similar physical traits. The different conditions represent different populations and, once a preference arises in a population, social learning can lead to the spread of preferences within that population. In the final part of our article, we discuss the theoretical basis for, and possible impact of, biases in social learning whereby individuals may preferentially copy the choices of those with high status or better access to critical information about potential mates. Such biases could mean that the choices of a select few individuals carry the greatest weight, rapidly generating agreement in preferences within a population. Collectively, these issues suggest that social learning mechanisms encourage the spread of preferences for certain traits once they arise within a population and so may explain certain cross-cultural differences.

“…In non-human animal species, mate choice copying has been observed among females of various species (Brown & Fawcett 2005;Dugatkin 2000;Galef & Laland 2005;White 2004). Most commonly studied are fish (Dugatkin & Godin 1992;Dugatkin & Godin 1993;Godin et al 2005;Witte & Ryan 2002) and bird species (Galef & White 1998;Swaddle et al 2005;White & Galef 2000). Mate choice copying has also been observed in males (Schlupp & Ryan 1997;Witte & Ryan 2002).…”

Social influence in human face preference: men and women are influenced more for long-term than short-term attractiveness decisions

Word count: 3,854 words (incl references)Social influence in human face preference: men and women are influenced for long-term but not short-term attractiveness decisions. AbstractIn non-human animals mate-choice copying has received much attention, with studies demonstrating that females tend to copy the choices of other females for specific males. Here we show, for both men and women, that pairing with an attractive partner increases the attractiveness of opposite-sex faces for long-term relationship decisions but not short-term decisions. Our study therefore shows social transmission of face preference in humans, which may have important consequences for the evolution of human traits. Our study also highlights the flexibility of human mate choice and suggests that, for humans, learning about non-physical traits that are important to pair-bonding drives copying-like behaviour.
