Classroom social experiences as predictors of academic performance
- Developmental Psychology
, 2005
"... A model linking children’s peer acceptance in the classroom to academic performance via academic self-concept and internalizing symptoms was tested in a longitudinal study. A sample of 248 children was followed from 4th to 6th grade, with data collected from different informants in each year of the ..."

in classrooms. Here, teachers have to manage complicated and demanding situations, channelling the personal, emotional and social pressures amongst a group of 30 or so youngsters in order to help them to learn now, and to become better learners in the future. Standards can only be raised if teachers can tackle
Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience
, 2005

Understanding Social Preferences with Simple Tests
, 2001
"... Departures from self-interest in economic experiments have recently inspired models of “social preferences”. We design a range of simple experimental games that test these theories more directly than existing experiments. Our experiments show that subjects are more concerned with increasing social w ..."

The link-prediction problem for social networks
- J. AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
, 2007
"... Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a ne ..."

A theory of social comparison processes,”
- Human Relations,
, 1954
"... In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison is i ..."

Implicit social cognition: Attitudes, self-esteem, and stereotypes
- Psychological Review
, 1995
"... Social behavior is ordinarily treated as being under conscious (if not always thoughtful) control. However, considerable evidence now supports the view that social behavior often operates in an implicit or unconscious fashion. The identifying feature of implicit cognition is that past experience inf ..."

Maximizing the Spread of Influence Through a Social Network
- In KDD
, 2003
"... Models for the processes by which ideas and influence propagate through a social network have been studied in a number of domains, including the diffusion of medical and technological innovations, the sudden and widespread adoption of various strategies in game-theoretic settings, and the effects of ..."

Automaticity of social behavior: Direct effects of trait construct and stereotype activation on action
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
