DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PSYCHOSOCIAL CHANGE: INCREASING COMPLEXITES IN TECHNOLOGIES AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS

The main objective of this paper is to explore and describe the integration of non-spatial information into mental representations, social identification and inter-group stereotyping, and the politics of the global expansion process. Decety and Sommerville hold that the self is a multi-dimensional construct that relies on a distributed neural network that encompasses shared self-other representations, viewing it as a collection of interconnected regions that are essential for the subjective experience of a "self." Schaller et al. observe that the contents of stereotypes are influenced by various sorts of biases in attention to, encoding of, and recall for information about groups and group members. Downie and Schudson put it that in the plurality of the American media universe, advocacy journalism is growing. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
