Signals and cues of social groups

Behav Brain Sci. 2022 Jul 7:45:e100. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X21001461.

Abstract

A crucial factor in how we perceive social groups involves the signals and cues emitted by them. Groups signal various properties of their constitution through coordinated behaviors across sensory modalities, influencing receivers' judgments of the group and subsequent interactions. We argue that group communication is a necessary component of a comprehensive computational theory of social groups.
