social feedback systems

Social feedback systems refer to the way individuals receive, interpret, and respond to social cues and responses from others, which influence their behavior and self-perception. These systems help people adjust their actions based on the reactions they observe, fostering social learning and cohesion. For example, positive feedback like praise encourages continued behavior, while criticism prompts change. They are essential for communication, relationship-building, and maintaining social norms, operating through complex interactions between cognition, emotion, and social context to help individuals navigate their social environment effectively.
