What are some of the psychological bases for our social nature?

Question

Why are we social animals? Let's stay away from evolutionary advantages on this one, looking more for cognitive/behavioural individual reasons for being tuned into others...

Answer 1

Isabel, your in the wrong dep't, you want psycology or social science surely. !

Answer 2

A human being is an individual social activity, a specific level and qualitatively original form of being.  An individual social activity that not only is subjected to objective phenomenon, also subjects objective phenomena by determinant activity at the higher more complex levels known as the psychological activity.  This can be considered the reflective part of the refractive activity of the neurological channels.

The being tuned into others is that we are social beings, social individuals each and every one of us.  We are tuned into each other whether we want or not.  It is really a matter of more or less social activity as each individual chooses.  Each of it, his or hers qualitative originality as it may be.

Answer 3

Those cognitive, behavioral and individual reasons are called proximate and we love one another, like one another proximately, but all this is initiated by the ultimate evolved reason for our social natures; cooperating to compete.
