ISBN: 9780262515122 - honest signals: how they shape our world (43 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. How understanding the signaling within social networks can change the way we make decisions, work with others, and manage organizations.How can you know when someone is bluffing? Paying attention? Genuinely interested? The answer, writes Alex Pentland in Honest Signals, is that subtle patterns in how we interact with other people reveal our attitudes toward them. These unconscious social signals are not just a back channel or a complement to our conscious language; they form a separate communication network. Biologically based honest signaling, evolved from ancient primate signaling mechanisms, offers an unmatched window into our intentions, goals, and values. If we understand this ancient channel of communication, Pentland claims, we can accurately predict the outcomes of situations ranging from job interviews to first dates.Pentland, an MIT professor, has used a specially designed digital sensor worn like an ID badge--a sociometer--to monitor and analyze the back-and-forth patterns of signaling among groups of people. He and his researchers found that this second channel of communication, revolving not around words but around social relations, profoundly influences major decisions in our lives--even though we are largely unaware of it. Pentland presents the scientific background necessary for understanding this form of communication, applies it to examples of group behavior in real organizations, and shows how by reading our social networks we can become more successful at pitching an idea, getting a job, or closing a deal. Using this network intelligence theory of social signaling, Pentland describes how we can harness the intelligence of our social network to become better managers, workers, and communicators. …

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Alex "Sandy" Pentland's influential study of the subtle, largely unconscious signals people use in social interaction and how those signals can reveal interest, influence, attention, intentions, and group dynamics. Pentland, an MIT professor and pioneer in computational social science, examines what he calls "honest signals"—patterns of tone, activity, mimicry, timing, and interaction that operate alongside spoken language. Drawing on research using wearable digital sensors, the book explores how these behavioral signals can help predict outcomes in situations ranging from job interviews and dating to negotiation, management, teamwork, and organizational decision-making. An important early work at the intersection of behavioral science, social networks, data analysis, organizational psychology, and computational social science, with considerable relevance to later developments in AI-assisted behavioral analysis and human-network research. The copyright page shows the number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2, indicating a second printing. Condition Very Good. Paperback binding is firm and square. Covers remain bright with light shelf wear, minor rubbing, and slight bumping/curling at the corners and edges. Spine is straight and intact. Interior appears clean and sound with no significant writing, highlighting, staining, or other major defects visible in the material examined. Overall a clean, attractive reading and research copy. Significance / Collector Appeal Pentland was among the early researchers applying large-scale digital measurement to human social behavior. Honest Signals helped popularize the idea that interpersonal interaction could be quantitatively studied using wearable sensors and network analysis. Carefully packed for shipment.
