Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

Abstract The arguments offered by Jaswal & Akhtar to counter the social motivation theory (SMT) do not appear to be directly related to the SMT tenets and predictions, seem to not be empirically testable, and are inconsistent with empirical evidence. To evaluate the merits and shortcomings of the SMT and identify scientifically testable alternatives, advances are needed on the conceptualization and operationalization of social motivation across diagnostic boundaries.

Abstract The study deals with the increase in the introduction of modern opera production at the Slovak National Theatre in the 1960s. The author interprets it not only as an attempt of dramaturgy to enliven the traditional repertoire, but in particular as an ambition to apply more modern theatrical poetics in the production opera practice. Since there was no practice of updating classic opera production in Slovakia in the sense of “Regietheater” at that time, this production of the 20th century was considered to be the most realistic way of reviving opera. At the same time, the study highlights the social motivation of this intention: an effort to address a new, progressively oriented audience that would create appeal for a conventionally oriented audience that primarily focuses on the musical-vocal component of opera productions.

Jenis penelitian ini yaitu penelitian kualitatif, dimana teknik analisisnya menggunakan analisis data model interaktif. Hasil analisis data diketahui bahwa minat remaja didasari dari faktor dorongan dari dalam diri, faktor motivasi sosial, dan faktor emosional. Akan tetapi dari tiga faktor tersebut yang sangat berperan ialah faktor motivasi sosial. Faktor pendukung remaja dalam berorganisasi selain yaitu lingkungan tempat tinggal, keluarga, dan teman, sedangkan untuk faktor yang menghambat minat tidak ada akan tetapi terkadang faktor yang menghambat remaja untuk mengikuti kegiatan organisasi yaitu waktu kuliah yang berbenturan dengan kegiatan organisasi. Kata kunci : Minat, Remaja, Organisasi ABSTRACT Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, age range from 10 to 24 years. It is at this time that someone searches for identity to shape personality traits, such as new experiences and new friends. The purpose of the study was to determine the interests and supporting factors and inhibiting factors of adolescents in Kelurahan Lempake, and focused on three factors, namely internal motivation, social motivational factors, and emotional factors. This type of research is qualitative research, where the analysis technique uses interactive model data analysis. The results of the data analysis revealed that adolescent interest was based on internal motivation, social motivation, and emotional factors. However, of the three factors that are very important is the social motivation factor. Supporting factors of adolescents in organizing other than the environment where they live, family, and friends, while for factors that inhibit interest there are no but sometimes factors that hinder adolescents from participating in organizational activities, namely college time that collide with organizational activities.

Humans are extraordinarily social, and social isolation has profound effects on our behavior, ranging from increased social motivation following short periods of social isolation to increased anti-social behaviors following long-term social isolation. Mice are frequently used as a model to understand how social isolation impacts the brain and behavior. While the effects of chronic social isolation on mouse social behavior have been well studied, much less is known about how acute isolation impacts mouse social behavior and whether these effects vary according to the sex of the mouse and the behavioral context of the social encounter. To address these questions, we characterized the effects of acute (3-day) social isolation on the vocal and non-vocal social behaviors of male and female mice during same-sex and opposite-sex social interactions. Our experiments uncovered pronounced effects of acute isolation on social interactions between female mice, while revealing more subtle effects on the social behaviors of male mice during same-sex and opposite-sex interactions. Our findings advance the study of same-sex interactions between female mice as an attractive paradigm to investigate neural mechanisms through which acute isolation enhances social motivation and promotes social behavior.

Eating decisions depend on both appetitive and social motivation processes but the interactions between these motivations are poorly understood. We examine how women from nonclinical and clinical samples with variable levels of eating restriction make value-based decisions under uncertainty when monetary values are coupled with values related to body appearance, such as the social value of thinness. We show that eating restriction is associated with greater risk aversion and behavioural uncertainty in monetary tasks, but this general tendency is modulated by body-related values in both subclinical and clinical samples; risk aversion and behavioural uncertainty are increased when monetary reward is coupled with larger bodies, particularly in ‘at risk’ samples, and decreased when reward is coupled with thinning bodies, particularly in clinical samples. Computational modelling of underlying beliefs about the probability of experiencing a loss provided an explanation for the general increase in risk aversion in eating restriction but not for the observed body-related modulation. These findings have important implications for current explanations of eating, indicating that cognitive and social factors may influence eating decisions by distinct mechanisms.

AbstractAutism often co-occurs with alexithymia, a condition characterized by no or diminished awareness of emotions that significantly impacts an individual's social relationships. We investigate how the social motivation of autistics would be eroded by comorbidity with alexithymia and why this diminished motivation would be difficult for non-autistic people to perceive and reciprocate.
