We propose that much of modern human behavior can be understood as the outcome of a primitive and implicit desire for social embeddedness (i.e., a desire to belong to a larger, societal-level collective). Research from our lab suggests that people watch television, follow celebrities, and go to concerts and sporting events, at least in part, to fill this need. Connections to other research and implications for understanding human behavior are discussed.

对社会嵌入的需求：人类归属感超越二元纽带


我们认为，现代人类的许多行为可以被理解为对社会嵌入的原始而隐含的渴望（即渴望属于一个更大的社会层面的集体）的结果。我们实验室的研究表明，人们看电视、关注名人、参加音乐会和体育赛事至少在一定程度上是为了满足这种需求。讨论了与其他研究的联系以及对理解人类行为的影响。
