There is a need for cognitively bounded implementations of transactive memory for agents. To do this, we use schema theory and tiered social cognition to implement Mead’s Generalized Other (1925). We then compared our new implementation, Construct-ML, with a prior implementation of the same simulation, ConstructO. We were not able to replicate all of the patterns suggested by Construct-O’s resu...

The present study conceptualized social intelligence as a performance construct and thus is based on Thorndike’s idea of social intelligence as a mental ability distinct from abstract and mechanical intelligence (1920). So far, there has been only limited success in identifying a unitary social intelligence construct distinct from academic intelligence. The objects of our study were twofold. Fi...

Today, individual's self-disclosure on the social network sites (SNS) have become a prevalent phenomenon. This study proposes a research model for investigating the beneficial effects of individual's selfdisclosure on the social network sites (SNS). In this study, social support and online social well-being are seen as the beneficial effects of individual's self-disclosure on the SNS. Furthermo...
