“…However, the decision could be different if the customer possesses some personality traits, such as high tolerance level, faith on people, cooperative, optimistic, and forgiver nature. In addition, Tone et al (2019) found that specific personality traits are strongly associated to an individual's behavior. To this edge, in case of any negligence, a customer fully cooperates with a restaurateur and does not get disappointed immediately with the services (Thielmann et al, 2020).…”

We strived to examine the combined effects of drivers and consequences of customers’ satisfaction particularly in quick-meal restaurants besides examining the interaction effect of social trust on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Offline survey was conducted to approach the respondents of fast-food visitors. The valid data were assessed and analyzed through structural equation modeling and moderation step-by-step approach. The findings demonstrate that restaurant stimuli—food, service, atmosphere, location, price, and a variety of food—have robust effects on customers’ satisfaction and eventually on brand loyalty. Social trust has rigorous effect on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Customers with high social trust have a positive strong bonding with restaurants than those holding low social trust. Theoretical and practical implications have been deliberated and offer some valuable recommendations along for future scholars.

“…For most primates, group cohesion is maintained by members recognizing and acting in accordance with their role in a social hierarchy (see Tone et al, 2019 for an overview). Two psychological systems govern this social order: social rank (a focus on power and dominance) and affiliation (a focus on reciprocity and intimacy).…”

Judgments about the self compared to internalized standards are central to theoretical frameworks of social anxiety. Yet, empirical research on social comparisons-how people view themselves relative to others-and social anxiety is sparse. This research program examines the nature of everyday social comparisons in the context of social anxiety across 2 experience-sampling studies containing 8,396 unique entries from 273 adults. Hypotheses and analyses were preregistered with the Open Science Foundation (OSF) prior to data analysis. Study 1 was a 3-week daily diary study with undergraduates, and Study 2 was a 2-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study with a clinical sample of adults diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and a psychologically healthy comparison group. In both studies, social anxiety was associated with less favorable, more unstable social comparisons. In both studies, favorable social comparisons were associated with higher positive affect and lower negative affect and social anxiety. In both studies, social comparisons and momentary affect/social anxiety were more strongly linked in people with elevated trait social anxiety/SAD compared to less socially anxious participants. Participants in Study 2-even those with SAD-made more favorable social comparisons when they were with other people than when alone. Taken together, results suggest that social anxiety is associated with unfavorable, unstable self-views that are linked to compromised well-being. General Scientific SummarySocial anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive concerns about making an undesirable social impression. This study supports the notion that for people with social anxiety disorder, these concerns may be due to self-views of being inferior or deficient compared to others. These self-views, however, are relatively unstable, suggesting that they may be amenable to change with targeted interventions.

“…Nevertheless, existing evolutionary theories of paranoia based solely on social threat detection do not fully account for the complex phenomenology of paranoia. Specifically, we have to ask why a mechanism aimed at detecting and avoiding social threats does not solely result in variation in avoidance, submissive or appeasement behaviours (as is also observed in many non-human species, see 54 and also discussed elsewhere 55–59, but also incorporates more complex features that are not adequately explained by this approach. Namely, selective identification of a specific yet often seemingly arbitrary group of persecutors, the attribution of unobservable malign intentions and motives to these individuals, and the formulation of hypothetical narratives rendering these attributions subjectively plausible.…”

Paranoia is the most common symptom of psychosis but paranoid concerns occur throughout the general population. Here, we argue for an evolutionary approach to paranoia across the spectrum of severity that accounts for its complex social phenomenology – including the perception of conspiracy and selective identification of perceived persecutors – and considers how it can be understood in light of our evolved social cognition. We argue that the presence of coalitions and coordination between groups in competitive situations could favour psychological mechanisms that detect, anticipate and avoid social threats. Our hypothesis makes testable predictions about the environments in which paranoia should be most common as well as the developmental trajectory of paranoia across the lifespan. We suggest that paranoia should not solely be viewed as a pathological symptom of a mental disorder but also as a part of a normally-functioning human psychology.
