The role of social sensitivity for emergence of collective intelligence

本研究的目的是考察社会敏感性在集体智慧产生中的作用。Woolley et al.（2010）报道，集体智慧是由群体成员的社会敏感性来预测的。然而，他们并没有指出社会敏感性在集体智慧出现中的作用。在本研究中，我们假设社会敏感性通过促进共同目标和角色分化过程的形成来影响集体智慧。小组决策（建立共识）的结果显示如下：在个体层面上，社会敏感度与成员的话语量呈正相关。在群体层面上，社会敏感性与程序澄清的早期性和满意度呈正相关。在此基础上，应针对社会敏感性低的成员开展支持性干预。

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of social sensitivity for emergence of collective intelligence. Woolley et al. (2010) has reported that collective intelligence is predicted by group member's social sensitivity. However, they have not indicated the role of social sensitivity for emergence of collective intelligence. In this study, we hypothesized that the social sensitivity affect collective intelligence through promoting of formation of shared goal and role differentiate process. The results of group decision making (consensus building) indicated the followings. At individual level, social sensitivity positively correlated with amount of utterance of the member. And, at group level, social sensitivity positively correlated with the earliness of clarification of procedure, and with satisfaction. Based on these results, supportive intervention should be developed for the member with low social sensitivity.
