The group effect refers to a decline in vigilance when an individual is in a social, group setting. Due to a diluted risk of being preyed upon and a higher number of group members that can detect a predator, members are less alert when they are in a group. The present study investigates if such an effect can be observed in human participants in a simple change detection task by employing group eye tracking (GET) paradigm. For this end, the visual phenomenon of change blindness is explored. In a within-subjects experiment, participants attempted to find if a change has been made to a stimulus they have previously seen. The same task was performed twice, once alone and once in a group of three while their eye movements were recorded with an eye tracker. Results of eye movement analysis show that, during the visual search for a change, eye movements are significantly slower when the participants are in groups (p < .01). The findings indicate that this effect may be related to a decline in vigilance and the group effect.

A study on collective efficacy among preservice science teachers Atasoy, Volkan; Çakıroğlu, Jale (null; 2016-04-17) Collective efficacy, the belief about group ability to accomplish common task, has been important construct influencing group behavior. Based on this construct, the purpose to this present study was to examine the group including preservice science teachers in terms of collective efficacy. The participants were four junior preservice science teachers who worked in the same group in science method course. This course was selected as the context of this study. In this course, new science teaching methods were...
A description and comparison of the levels of anxiety among college administrators Karsli, Mehmet Durdu; Baloğlu, Mustafa (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2006-01-01) Administrators, in general, are at greater risk of facing anxiety than are other people, due to their duties and responsibilities. In this study, both state and trait anxiety levels of college administrators were assessed and the administrators were compared based on their anxiety levels. For the purpose of assessing state and trait anxiety levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) adapted to Turkish by LeCompte and Oner (1975) was used. The sample of the study...
A self-adaptive landmark-based aggregation method for robot swarms Sadeghi Amjadi, Arash; Raoufi, Mohsen; Turgut, Ali Emre (2021-01-01) Aggregation, a widely observed behavior in social insects, is the gathering of individuals on any location or on a cue. The former being called the self-organized aggregation, and the latter being called the cue-based aggregation. One of the fascinating examples of cue-based aggregation is the thermotactic behavior of young honeybees. Young honeybees aggregate on optimal temperature zones in the hive using a simple set of behaviors. The state-of-the-art cue-based aggregation method BEECLUST was derived base...
Behavioral preferences, feelings, and social identity level in a low-status group: the impacts of social identity salience, and group boundary permeability with a novel concept of hierarchical permeability Elgin, Veysel Mehmet; Sakallı Uğurlu, Nuray; Department of Psychology (2007) The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impacts of both the group boundary permeability (with a novel concept) and the social identity salience on the low-status group members’ behavioral preferences, feelings, and social identity level with reference to the social identity theory. The participants were 138 undergraduate students from Abant İzzet Baysal University. All participants completed behavioral alternatives questionnaire, negative feelings of personal treatment questionnaire, and the Organizat...
Conjoint individual and group tracking framework with online learning Yiğit, Ahmet; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2016) A group is a social unit which consists of people interacting with each other and sharing the similar characteristics. Because of social properties of group, group tracking re-quires taking into account not only visual properties but also social properties such as interaction of people with each other. Also, people groups are dynamic entities and they may grow and shrink with merge and split events. This dynamic nature makes it difficult to track groups using conventional trackers. Besides these difficultie...
