Chapter One. General introduction – Chapter Two. The social life of the zebra finch in the wild – Chapter Three. Active but antisocial : exploration and activity is linked to social behaviour in a colonially breeding finch – Chapter Four. Nestling activity levels during begging behaviour predict activity levels in adulthood – Chapter Five. Personality in captivity : more exploratory males reproduce better – Chapter Six. Personality in the wild zebra finch : exploration, sociality and reproduction – Chapter Seven. General discussion.
Few personality studies of zebra finches have taken into account the importance of the social environment of this highly social species, which is important as it may influence how personality is formed and maintained. Moreover, no work has yet studied zebra finch personality in the wild, to examine the role of fitness. I addressed these questions by first examining the relationship between sociality and well-established personality traits in captivity, such as exploratory behaviour and activity, along with examining the effects of personality on fitness in a captive aviary population. Secondly, I studies personality in the wild zebra finch for the first time.

▼ Organisations face a growing imperative to minimise their environmental impact, often as a result of pressure from sources including government legislation, consumer demands and emerging competitors. As a result they seek to change how their internal stakeholders, namely management and employees, carry out their work tasks and behaviours. This type of micro-level change requires an understanding of a range of factors including the effect of entrenched individual habit, the internal cultural and political forces at play, and the nature and effect of communication strategies. This presents an opportunity to investigate the application of social marketing, with its proven record of success in behaviour change initiatives at a community level, in an organisational setting. This extension of social marketing practice is termed within this thesis “organisation based social marketing” (OBSM).
The fields of change management, internal marketing, social marketing, and the comparatively newer area of internal social marketing informed this research which extended understanding of the barriers to inter-organisational behaviour change. This study viewed organisations through the lens of social marketing and aimed to explore the influences on internal stakeholder behaviour using the introduction of proenvironmental behaviour programs as the research setting. The analysis identified the emergent concepts that affected internal stakeholders and underpinned the development of the OBSM framework.
The exploratory nature of the study justified the use of a qualitative methodology which facilitated the gathering of rich data about how research participants understood and experienced their involvement in change. Multiple case analysis further facilitated the exploration of the topic by building on and comparing findings from three participating organisations. These large non-profit organisations were chosen because they had embarked on planned pro-environmental change, had designated resources, and had established clear goals, policies and structures.
The research found that two conceptual groupings operated within organisations during the change process: the organisational silo which consisted of culture, leadership, embedded practice, resources, review and continuity; and the individual silo which comprised consultation, communication, validation, empowerment, engagement, and leadership. These conceptual groupings, drawn from the research findings, operated within the OBSM framework in order to bring about behaviour change of an organisation’s internal stakeholders.
This thesis makes a significant contribution to academic knowledge and the development of the social marketing in the form of OBSM. Research findings outlined implications for managers, while the framework that has been developed could assist organisations in the introduction of pro-environmental behaviour and sustainability initiatives. Further research in other settings, such as the application of OBSM to the behaviour change challenges…

▼ Intervention programmes aimed at promoting pro-environmental behaviours typically
rely solely on information-only appeals. However, research has shown that
information-based interventions do not often lead to
behaviour change, instead
presenting the use of
social norms as a better catalyst for change (see, e.g., Cialdini,
2003; Schultz, 1998; Schultz & Kaiser, forthcoming). The current research adds to a
growing body of literature that employs normative influence (information regarding
the
behaviour commonly conducted by others) to promote pro-environmental
behaviour. Two experimental studies compared the effectiveness of normative
information with information-only environmental messages. Study 1 used a survey
questionnaire to measure participants’ self-reports of household energy efficiency and
Study 2 used a field experiment to directly measure hotel guests’ towel reuse. Results
indicated that individuals provided with
social norm information engaged in more
pro-environmental
behaviour than those who were presented solely with
environmental information. The findings also suggest that there is a need to
distinguish between types of pro-environmental
behaviour and the role of
social
reference groups when designing normative messages. The implications of these
findings are discussed along with directions for future research.

▼ Animals utilize information about their environments in order to adaptively modify behaviour. Such information may come from individual experience or from social sources, both of which have costs and benefits to the animal. Here I first show benefits of individual learning with respect to foraging performance, a good proxy of fitness, in bumblebees in a naturalistic setting. Second, I show that despite fitness costs associated with learning, fruit flies do not modify their investment in learning ability due to environmental complexity of larval foraging environment. Third, I show that fruit fly larvae utilize social information in their foraging decisions, including social learning, despite increased competition costs. Fourth, I show that adult fruit flies also use the presence of larvae as a source of social information to find suitable food patches. Finally, I show that larvae spontaneously form small foraging aggregations, one benefit of which may be an improved ability to dig and burrow into the surface of the food. I discuss the costs and benefits of both individual and social learning, as well as the potential for insect model systems in future studies of sociality and learning.

▼ Executive functions, such as inhibition and dual tasking, have repeatedly been linked to
social behaviour (e.g. McDonald & Pearce, 1996; Foley, Cantagallo, Della Sala & Logie, 2010); however the exact strength and nature of this relationship is still unknown. Although certain executive functions, such as dual tasking, are maintained at a high-level into old age (e.g. Logie, Cocchini, Della Sala & Baddeley, 2004) others, such as inhibition, have repeatedly been shown to decline with age (e.g. Wecker, Kramer, Wisniewski, Delis & Kaplan, 2000). It has been suggested these changes in executive function ability may mediate some of the
social-behavioural changes we see with age (e.g. Henry, von Hippel & Baynes, 2009).
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between executive and
social functioning and further to this, how changes of executive performance with age may contribute to changing
social performance. The study focusses on inhibition and dual-tasking as executive functions and assesses
social ability via an emotion recognition test and a
social inference test. Performance on a battery of
social and executive tests was measured in both a younger (N=48) and older age group (N=48).
Younger adults were found to outperform older adults on all
social tasks. In accordance with previous research, older adults performed dual-tasking at a level equivalent to younger adults; they did however show decreased inhibition ability. Dual tasking ability was not found to be related to
social performance, some evidence however was found for a role of inhibition as a mediator of decreased
social ability with age.

▼ The current studies addressed two questions regarding early social behaviour in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that have not yet been directly explored. In Study 1 we examined the hypothesis that impaired imitation in this group may reflect a diminished social motivation to engage, rather than a core deficit in imitation. Young children with and without ASD engaged in imitation tasks during which controlled manipulations of reward (social and non-social) were administered for target behaviours. Children with ASD displayed increased levels of imitation with the incentive of an external reward in comparison to when this reward was absent. There was no differential impact of social versus non-social rewards. Typically developing (TD) children performed similarly, irrespective of whether or not reward was administered. We suggest that young children with ASD may be capable of imitating when appropriate incentives are present. Study 2 explored the breadth of social challenges faced in young children with ASD by examining a later-developing domain of social functioning that may be compromised by early social difficulties. We explored the tendency of children with ASD to engage in helping, sharing, and comforting behaviour in situations where the need for the prosocial behaviour was displayed and in perceptually similar situations where the need was absent. Children with ASD displayed low levels of helping and sharing, but provided comfort at levels consistent with TD children. For both comforting and sharing, children with ASD successfully discerned situations where a need was present from when it was not and adjusted their behaviour accordingly. We suggest that children with ASD may require different ‘conditions’ to engage in social behaviours at the same level as their TD peers and suggest future research to this end.

▼ The New Zealand thoroughbred horse racing industry faces a number of event attendance issues. On the one hand, thousands of visitors reportedly favour thoroughbred horse racing events that feature throughout the November to March summer high-season, so the industry has relied on the economic advantages of concentrating entire marketing campaigns, funds and
social activities across this period to maximise yearly revenue. On the other hand, the typical
behaviour of a large number of young visitors suggests they do not regard the gambling or sporting features of thoroughbred horse racing highly. Consequently, racetracks focus on the kind of
social activity design structures preferred by the majority of young visitors during the high-season. Yet, young visitors continue to visit these racetracks throughout the May to October low-season months. This study therefore identifies and evaluates the specific behaviours among these young low-season visitors, since they are evolving without a pathway that would otherwise encourage them to visit. Young low-season visitors are defined in this study as any male or female between the ages of twenty (20) and thirty (30), since they are usually the largest target of high-season marketing.
A post-positivist, mixed-method approach was adopted to evaluate how closely young low-season visitor
behaviour aligned with industry survey data and perceptions of typical high-season thoroughbred horse racing visitor interests. To create a background on the thoroughbred horse racing industry, a survey data set on the spending habits of over 12,000 racetrack visitors during the 2008/2009 high-season, a Visitor Survey data set on the various behaviours of over 3,000 visitors during the high-season and two (2) primary, qualitative in-depth interviews with industry members working at a national level were utilised. Once the image of high-season
behaviour among young visitors had been portrayed, a nationwide closed-ended survey on young visitor motives, preferences, expectations and choices was conducted at six popular racetrack locations throughout the New Zealand thoroughbred horse racing low-season (May-July) to a sample size of 90 racetrack visitors between the age of 20 and 30. The low-season survey results determined the existence of an alternative
behaviour. Most importantly, as much as 50% of the total sample visited primarily to gamble, while 59% of the total sample gambled on almost every race of the day. Moreover, as much as 49% of the total sample prefers gambling as a racetrack activity.

Organisational social media platforms : exploring user participation behaviours in software and technology firms.

▼ The aim of this research was to explore the user participation behaviours in the emerging structure of organisational social media platforms; a term coined and defined in this thesis. This emerging community structure originates from technical discussion forums and knowledge repository systems, and appears to be concerned with solving user problems, generating professional and technical content, and facilitating interaction in the external organisational domain. This research has explored three such platforms in the software and technology sector; namely, the SAP Community Network, the Oracle Community site, and Microsoft's professional platforms, MSDN and TechNet. Qualitative open-ended interviews were conducted and analysed under the interpretive paradigm, to generate a theoretically-grounded account on the use of social media tools in this context, the benefits and value outcomes gained, the underlined reasons and motivations that drive participation, and the emerging impact of active contribution as external users gain recognition. It was found that organisational social media platforms enable the development of rich technical content, personalised experience and thought leadership, creating in this way an environment for problem solving, professional development and expert recognition. The voluntary participation observed is evidently underlined with a combination of altruistic attitudes (e.g. satisfaction, enjoyment and a pro-sharing attitude), reciprocal helping behaviours (e.g. paying it forward, and sharing knowledge and experience) and personal gain expectations (e.g. visibility, recognition and career advancement). The individual platform users appear to acquire participation roles based on their technical expertise (newbie, knowledgeable and expert) and on the level of engagement they wish to undertake (lurker, contributor, community influencer and recognised user). A group of highly active users is formed in this way at the top tier of participation that establishes channels for professional credibility, product feedback and external advocacy through a close relationship with organisational members. These findings suggest that organisational social media platforms can constitute a new interface with the external environment and a potential business model, under which flexible forms of communication and interaction affect the support infrastructure changing the way in which customer service can be delivered, product and sales advocacy can be established, and innovation and product development can be achieved; complementing in this way internal processes with external activity.

▼ This thesis presents the conceptual design process of a new intervention to stimulate pro-environmental disposal behaviour. Littering is a growing problem in the world. Research shows that the brand which is found most between the litter in the Netherlands is Red Bull. Although many interventions have been applied to try to change behaviour of litterers in the Netherlands, the littering behaviour of the Red Bull consumer remains a problem. This thesis concentrates on the question how the Red Bull consumer can be stimulated to dispose their can in an environmental friendly way. Different studies have been conducted within a cultural and social design approach. This is done in order to identify the different elements that influence the consumption and disposal of the Red Bull energy drink within the Dutch culture. From the analysis it appeared that (at the moment of purchasing a Red Bull can) as good as every Dutch consumer has the intention to dispose the can in an environmental friendly way, but the problem is that they do not always act according this intention. From these insights the aim emerged to strengthen the attitude of the Red Bull consumer towards the social norm of appropriate disposal behaviour. The final proposed concept Halo motivates users to behave according to their intended behaviour. At the moment of purchase the Red Bull consumer is offered to choose between the Halo edition; a limited edition with a golden wrap on top of the can, and the original edition. By choosing the Halo edition he or she promises to himself to dispose the empty can in an environmental friendly way. In this design the golden wrap is the mark that represents the good behaviour. The golden wrap not only reminds the user during the consumption to keep his promise. By choosing a remarkable packaging this person is also able to propagate this intended behaviour to his social environment. To communicate the concept and explain the function of the new design, a movie is presented on the vending machine or fridge, The understandability of the concept has been tested among different levels of education, who positively responded to both the new appearance and the idea behind the concept. Finally, the feedback from users and experts are used to evaluate and reflect on the introduced concept. Further recommendations are made to optimize the user experience of the initiated concept.

▼ Social concern about deviant, delinquent and disorderly behaviour has a long history in the UK. Propelled by the New Labour government’s Crime and Disorder Act 1998, the ‘antisocial behaviour agenda’ reframed the problem and constructed a punitive solution (Newburn, 2007). While in recent years Scottish policy has diverged from the punitive rhetoric established in Westminster, the ‘antisocial’ individual continues to be conceptualised as part of a disruptive minority that fails to conform to societal norms of behaviour. This antisocial minority has, invariably, come to be associated with young people and, in particular, young people from ‘disadvantaged’ socio-economic circumstances. While there is a growing body of empirical research on this topic, most has focused on young people’s relationship to antisocial behaviour in terms of their role as victim or as perpetrator. Alternatively, studies have evaluated how young people experience specific policy interventions. The principal aim of this doctoral research is to shift away from attempting to explain why young people become involved in antisocial behaviour and instead explore the diverse ways they define, experience and relate to it. Its gaze, therefore, is upon young people’s everyday interactions with antisocial behaviour and, in so doing, seeks to produce a more rounded understanding of young lives. The research was based within ‘Robbiestoun’ (a pseudonym): a predominantly social housing estate in the suburbs of a Scottish city and, as such, was able to situate young people’s experiences of antisocial behaviour alongside their experiences of living in a ‘disadvantaged’ socio-economic place. It employed participatory ethnographic methods to engage with a range of young people across multiple research sites. The empirical analysis found that understandings of what is, and is not, normal behaviour were fundamental to young people’s relationship with the antisocial. Social and physical disorder was a regular occurrence, and for many, it was an established, even normal, part of everyday life. Nonetheless, young people were aware of external categorisations of Robbiestoun and its residents as ‘abnormal’, an identity which most young people resisted and challenged. Young people’s behaviour in public spaces was similarly contested. Professionals (and many adults) had clear ideas about what constituted normal, social behaviour and these frequently conflicted with those held by young people. Such conflict was most evident for those young people actively engaged in criminal and antisocial acts. Not only was antisocial was a label these groups identified with, but they also rationalised their involvement in antisocial behaviour as an expected, and indeed necessary, part of growing up in Robbiestoun. The research revealed that young people utilised a range of strategies, techniques and rationales which enabled them to navigate the area’s ‘abnormal’ identity and ‘get on’ with ‘normal’ life. Such tactics were not universal across Robbiestoun, but rather varied according to…

▼ Pair bonding is an exclusive mating relationship associating the memory of a mate with the potential successful completion of a breeding cycle. In evolutionary biology, pair bonding has been studied as a mating strategy and this biological phenomenon has been associated with survival related reproductive behaviors, however, behaviors that function in the formation of bonding and those that are established as a result of bonding are seldom distinguished, making it difficult to assess how pair bonding is represented in the brain. This thesis assesses pair bonding in ring doves, an animal that has a predictable sequence leading to a successful breeding cycle. Through a series of lesion, immunohistochemistry, and behavior studies we sought to understand the processing and execution of this fitness-critical complex behavior, by assessing the neural basis of pair bonding, understanding which behavioral events initiate the formation of the bond and how bonding affects an animal's decisions involving a mate. We found a neuro-marker for pair bonding that is more accurate than current methods of measuring bonding and that lesions to this region, the nucleus taeniae, disrupted pair bonding in doves. We showed that pair bonding moderates breeding behaviors, specifically courtship (nest coo) behavior, allowing for changes in these behaviors that can effect neurogenesis and recovery of behavior (nest coo) following lesions to regions associated with regulation of reproductive-endocrine function. We determined that a pair bond in ring doves is formed following the performance of courtship (nest coo) behavior, rather than the completion of the entire breeding cycle, suggesting that doves are using this stage to predict the successful completion of the breeding cycle with their mate, a concept consistent with pair bonding’s role in survival behavior.

▼ Compared to mice from environmentally enriched (EE) enclosures, mice housed in the small, relatively barren cages ubiquitous in research facilities (standard housing) show signs of poor welfare such as increased stereotypic and depressive behaviours and agonism. Previous research in humans and rats suggests that these behavioural changes can lead to reduced sociability, attractiveness as a
social partner, or both. I thus sought to determine the effects of housing on sociability and attractiveness in female mice using a modified sociability and
social preference test and a novel familiarisation paradigm. My results indicated that standard housed (SH) mice were not generally less sociable or attractive than those from enriched housing. However, mice who received more agonism in their home cages strongly preferred to spend their time near EE mice (the less agonistic housing type), suggesting that agonism between female cagemates, while not usually injurious, is aversive to the recipient.

▼ The concept of relationship management in marketing area has gained itsimportance through decades. CRM, pursue long-term relationship with profitablecustomers in the new mantra. The ultimate goal of any corporate initiative is profitability.In absence of any clear differentiation among the company clients or special valueproposition, companies often squander valuable company resources attempting to serviceall the customers that may or may not result in a profitable outcome. many researcheshave been performed to evaluate the customer value, However they lacks the empiricalevidence to their calculations, if not had some limitations in considering the customerchurn or potential value of the customers in expected future. The main objective of thispaper is to investigate the customer value in banking context using the customer lifetimevalue framework. The interviews with the expert show that currently customers aretreated the same. This study presents a detailed empirical evaluation of how accuratelythe value of corporate customers of a governmental bank in Iran can be measured. Theanalysis results in value identification and ranking of corporate customers. Additionally,to select the value generating customers (alternatives) for capital investment among thewhole customer portfolio of the bank, a finite number of alternatives have to be rankedconsidering several and sometimes conflicting criteria. Therefore, we are faced with aspecial multicriteria decision-making problem. The purpose of this study is to develop adecision-making model for selecting corporate customers in loan lending relationships ofthe banks customers and a model is provided in order to structure this problem. Theproposed model is structured by solicitation of banking experts. The preference rankingorganization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) has been used forsolving the problem. The model has been applied in a governmentally owned bank ofIran as a real case with interview the experts in order to determine the effective criteriafor customer evaluation.

▼ The purpose of this study was to describe how customer satisfaction influenced the buying decisions for public hospitals conducting public procurement.This thesis was conducted using a qualitative interview with a procurement manager at Norrbotten County Council procurement unit. The qualitative data collected was then analyzed using a frame of reference that was constructed previous to the interview.The findings of this thesis showed that customer satisfaction influenced the organizational buying behavior of public hospitals conducting public procurement. The findings showed that customer satisfaction influenced the buying behaviors in two ways. One of the ways customer satisfaction influences buying decisions is through the users’ perception of customer satisfaction. If the users are found dissatisfied the consequence to this will be revealed in the next public procurement process where the specification of what is sough is then changed. The other way in which customer satisfaction influences the buying behavior found was concerning the specification itself. This customer satisfaction is more direct, if the supplier fails to live up to the specification disconfirmation occurs. This disconfirmation can lead to the removal of a supplier from their contract, or the disregard from future contracts if the conflict is thoroughly documented.

▼ Currently, the world faces a huge problem that the population age structure is changing since the oldest people segment grow at a quicker speed than the rest of the age segments in many countries. According to statics and prediction, the Chinese population is aging at a dramatically fast speed. Dementia is a progressive, disabling, chronic disease affecting 5% of all persons above 65 and more than 40% of people over 90. In order to reduce the burden of carers who are responsible to look after the elderly people with dementia, an e-health service system, as an assistive tool, provides a possibility for them. The high demand and low supply indicates that there is a need to spend time in conducting a study about the Chinese distributors buying behavior when they purchase an e-health service system for the first time.The purpose of this study is to explore the Chinese distributors buying behavior when they purchase a e-health service system for elderly people with dementia. From the research problem, it afterwards develops three research questions about the buying process, buying center, and factors influencing the buying process and the buying center. The research approach of this thesis is deductive and qualitative and a multi-case study strategy has been chosen. In this study, both state-owned and private-owned distributors have been evaluated. Among the four organizations, three of them are located in the mainland China while one is located in Hong Kong. The persons who have rich working experience in purchasing sectors or persons possess lots of relevant information of organizational purchasing in health care industry are selected as interviewees. Empirical data from four cases were analyzed by within-case analysis and cross-case analysis. As a result, the findings indicate that generally speaking most Chinese distributors implement the seven-step buying process suggested by Jobber and Lancaster (2006). It is of great importance to examine the buying center to find out and reach to the key persons for a first-time purchase. The Chinese distributors organizational buying behavior when they purchase the e-health service system for people with dementia is diversified due to the huge areas and regions within the country and different kinds of ownerships.

▼ This thesis broadly investigates the evolution of voluntary cooperative behaviour among individuals in conflict in non-egalitarian social groups. This work is partitioned into three sections. In the first section, we explore the emergence of non-egalitarian social groups to better understand the evolutionary incentives for voluntary participation in groups with unequal distributions of resources. In the second section, we study several scenarios in which genetically related individuals with unequal control over resources cooperate despite being in conflict. The evolution of parent-offspring conflict over provisioning, offspring signals, and alloparental care are each addressed in this section. In the last section, we investigate cooperative behaviours between unrelated individuals in conflict by modelling the evolution of coalitionary behaviour.

▼ Simple environmental features can shape complex behavior. Identifying key
aspects of the environment (e.g., temperature, structure, toxins) that lead to widespread consequences is of central importance in a changing world. The primary objective of my dissertation is to investigate how relatively simple aspects of the environment can influence small groups of animals in profound and complex ways. In the first three chapters, I report on experiments showing how small changes in the environment can affect the expression of behavior at different points in development and can have important physiological consequences for litters of mouse pups. I then report on two sets of experiments showing how subtle changes in the environment can dramatically affect spacing patterns and
social dynamics of small groups of adult zebrafish. Together, my results emphasize the ways that subtle changes in the environment can have profound impacts on individuals and small groups. In both lines of work, I have found that a more accurate characterization of the phenomena, infant rodent development and zebrafish
social behavior, requires the use of individual and group measures and that temperature, density, and pollutants can have a powerful effect on group responses. These results are important because they show that the physical environment can have profound effects on the phenotype, and that with a changing physical environment or anthropogenic change, dramatic differences may be observed in the behavior of groups.

▼ Social exclusion has garnered much attention from researchers across the
social sciences, especially among
social psychologists. However, given the fact that
social relationships and consumption are two of the central activities in daily life, there is surprisingly little research on the impact of
social connection threats within the realm of consumer behavior. This study examines the effect of
social exclusion on proenvironmental behavior and green consumption. More precisely, the objectives of this study are threefold. The first objective is to examine whether the findings in
social psychology literature on how excluded individuals respond to exclusion when they are exposed to proenvironmental consumption behavior. The second objective of this research is to find the underlying mechanism and to rule out some of the possible explanations (e.g., mood) for this effect. The final objective of this study is to establish some of the boundary conditions (individual differences and situational factors) for the proposed effect. The hypotheses of this study were developed based on two main theoretical bases borrowed from
social psychology literature: empathy-altruism hypothesis (Batson 1991) and
social reconnection hypothesis (Maner et al. 2007). Overall, it was proposed that while
social exclusion decreases individuals’ inclination to engage in proenvironmental activities, socially excluded people are motivated to use green consumption behaviors to establish new
social bonds with others. These propositions were tested and supported across four experiments. Across these experiments, the findings demonstrated that
social exclusion causes people to express lower tendency to engage in proenvironmental behaviors. The findings also consistently suggest that mood does not explain why
social rejection leads to negative environmental outcomes. Additionally,
social exclusion appears to cause a temporary absence of empathic concern toward others, which leads to less green behavior with altruistic motivation. Further, the role of emotional empathy as a boundary condition was tested in this study and the findings indicate that experiencing
social exclusion does not negatively impact proenvironmental behavior in highly empathetic individuals. Finally, this investigation showed that when a proenvironmental behavior is perceived as an opportunity to reconnect and positive
social feedback is expected from peers, socially excluded participants favor products that signal to their peers that they too are concerned about environmental issues. In addition to its contributions to consumer research and marketing, this work provides several practical implications. For instance, as established in this study, green products by default are not perceived by excluded individuals as tools that facilitate
social reconnection. However, when such products are positioned properly, such individuals tend to capitalize on the
social acceptability of their behavior to help them fulfill their threatened need for affiliation. The implication here is that marketers…

▼ For my doctoral research I examined social decision-making in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish, Neolamprologus pulcher with a focus on affiliation and aggression. I investigated the role that the nonapeptide hormone, isotocin, plays in modulating social decisions in these contexts. I show that N. pulcher males prefer to join larger groups regardless of the rank at which they will join, whereas females prefer larger groups only when they can join a group in a high rank (Chapter 2). I examined decision-making during resource contests in (Chapter 3) and found that N. pulcher are sensitive to the size of their opponents, making fighting decisions depending on their opponents’ body size. I also found that smaller N. pulcher are more motivated to persist within contests, showing a shorter latency to resume fighting following interruption (Chapter 4). In Chapters 5 and 6, I explored the role of isotocin (the teleost fish homologue of oxytocin) in regulating social behaviour. I discovered that an increase in isotocin increased responsiveness to social information. Fish treated with isotocin were more sensitive to their opponent’s size in contests and were more submissive to dominant individuals within their social group (Chapter 5). Unexpectedly, I found that exogenous isotocin reduced sociality in N. pulcher, and that an isotocin receptor antagonist increased it (Chapter 6). These results suggest that the relationship between isotocin and social behaviour is both complex and context specific. In my final data chapter, I used social network analysis to explore the role of dominance interactions in determining the structure of N. pulcher social groups. I found that N. pulcher dominance hierarchies are highly linear, but that dominance interactions are not predicted by sex or body size asymmetry (Chapter 7). I found that conflict within N. pulcher social groups is greatest at the top of the dominance hierarchy. Taken together the results of my thesis helps to elucidate the behavioural and hormonal basis of social decision-making in a cooperatively breeding vertebrate and help to illuminate the evolution of social behaviour.

The world has been changing at an unprecedented rate due to the 'progress' of human society. Globalization has changed our way of living, and it translates into severe negative effects on our ecosystems. Additionally, globalization also demands more connections and transport, creating frequent and dynamic networks worldwide, of both people and cargo. This can lead to the movement of thousands of species outside their native range, and biological invasions are now a contemporary global problem. While most invasions end in failure, some manage to successfully take hold and adapt to new locations. What determines a species' invasive success is of great interest and importance for conservation efforts. Behaviour is believed to play a key role in the success of invasive species, although the mechanisms are still unclear, especially for unintentional invasions. Members of the lizard genus Podarcis show high variability in their invasive potential and are thus a well-suited model for studying the role of behaviour during biological invasions. The Italian wall lizard, Podarcis sicula, is a globally invasive species that hitchhikes on transportation of people or cargo, and does well in novel environments. In addition to behaviour, there is mounting evidence that cognition may also be a determining factor for invasion success. The aim of my thesis is to understand the role of behaviour and cognition in determining what makes P. sicula such a good invader. I used animals from an introduced population in Lisbon (Portugal) to examine behavioural traits that might be linked to a species' invasive success.
My original contribution to knowledge is uncovering the potential role of behavioural flexibility, social learning ability, behavioural traits, and competition in the invasion process. Although I focused on the invasive lizard P. sicula, my study highlights the potential role of behaviour and cognition in invasions more broadly. My thesis has thus 4 chapters written as stand-alone publications that deal with different behavioural components. I predicted that P. sicula would have greater levels of behavioural flexibility than congeneric non-invasive species - P. bocagei and P. carbonelli. The ability to reverse a previously learnt discrimination can be indicative of behavioural flexibility. I used a discrimination task and a reversal and quantified the number of errors and overall learning ability of all three species (chapter I). The invasive species had relatively less difficulty than the…

▼ The effects of a high-probability request sequence on compliance with social requests was examined. The participant was a 14 year-old boy diagnosed with autism who frequently avoided social interaction. Assessments of hypothesized low and high-probability requests were conducted and resulted in four requests being included as the high-probability requests and three requests were included as the target low-probability responses. A multiple baseline across responses design was used. Compliance was at or near zero levels during baseline and increased for all three responses when the intervention was applied. Responding remained variable so an intervention plus reinforcement condition was added making reinforcers available contingent on compliance with a low-probability response. Compliance increased further and for all responses once this component was added.

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to study the buying behavior of services in the travel free technology at Swedish authorities, so that the seller can understand how they should taylor their market and selling strategy. The purpose was also to compare if the theory of the buying behavior is consistent with the buying behavior in practice. To understand the buying behavior this study was divided to examine the buying process, the buying decision group and which decision factors that is important. The study was done at three Swedish authorities. The study showed that the buying behavior at the authorities do not completely follow the Buy-grid theory, because the authorities does not always follow every stage when it concerns a new purchase, they for example do not evaluate suppliers, because they have to follow the public procurement act. This study also showed that the authorities contact the suppliers early in the process which Van der Valk & Rozemeijer suggested when organizations buy services. Even though the authorities buying process is highly formalized, there are only few members, hierarchy levels and departments included in the buying decision. The study showed that among the most important criteria in the choice of supplier was price and quality. The price criteria follow what was mentioned in the theory, where it says that authorities must select the lowest price or the most economical solution. Räsänen et al (2010) mentioned that the most important factors when organizations decide to replace travels with travel free meetings are cost savings and time savings, the environmental aspects was on the other hand given low priority. This study follows the theory, except of one authority who value environmental aspect directly after cost savings.

▼ Resilience describes an individual’s ability to “rebound” after experiencing adversity and can be studied using the ‘three-hit concept’, where genetic factors (hit-1) interact with the early-life environment (hit-2), with the resulting phenotype’s resilience depending on later-in-life environment (hit-3). I investigated resilience and stress reactivity in a group of wild chacma baboons in South Africa, by exploring the different steps involved in the process of resilience: (i) describing physiological stress response measures and their link to life-history stage, climate, and predation; (ii) investigating coping behaviours and sociability and their link to physiological stress response measures; and (iii) developing non-invasive measures of resilience (based on the difference between individuals’ observed and predicted coat condition given their stress reactivity) and exploring links between resilience and coping behaviours and sociability. Mean faecal glucocorticoid metabolite (fGCM) levels differed between lifehistory stages, and females, but not males, showed increased fGCM levels in response to predation. Furthermore, baboons of both sexes used displacement behaviours as coping behaviour in response to adversity, and rates of giving grooming in males, and rates of being aggressive in females, were linked to physiological stress response measures in the longer term. Females appeared to benefit from having strong social bonds as these were linked to lower mean fGCM levels, reflecting social buffering, while social integration was linked to lower stress reactivity in both sexes. Finally, resilience differed with life-history stages in females, but not males, and was linked to reproductive success in females. In both sexes, resilience might be behaviourally mediated, as high rates of displacement behaviours were associated with higher resilience, and in females, social integration was also linked to higher resilience. This study contributes conceptually and methodologically by developing non-invasive measures of resilience, thus enabling further investigation of resilience in the context of inter-individual differences in fitness in wild animals.

▼ Zebrafish are extremely social and aggregate in groups to form shoals. This social behaviour has been studied in the wild and in a laboratory setting, yet the mechanisms underlying the behaviour are unknown. There is evidence to suggest that the dorsal lateral telencephalon might play a role in shaping shoaling behaviour, being involved in modulating social behaviours and social reward associated with shoaling. In the current thesis, I adapted and combined several existing methods for performing lesions on the dorsal lateral telencephalon to create my own method to measure the role of the dorsal lateral telencephalon in social reward and shoaling behaviour. I predicted that the social reward associated with shoaling would be reduced by the lesions, thus that experimental fish would swim farther away from controls, which would disrupt the collective moment of the group.
Two experimental groups, a control group, and a sham-lesioned group were behaviourally tested. The groups involved one focal fish that either received a lesion, sham-lesion or randomly picked control swimming with four other fish that did not have surgery. The group’s movements were tracked and recorded for 20 minutes over three consecutive days. Common measures of shoaling such as the nearest neighbour distance, inter-individual distance, and polarization were computed. Overall, as predicted, both experimental groups appeared to swim farther away from sham and control groups, although this effect was only seen in the first trial. There was no difference in polarization across groups. Overall, I found that the lesions to the dorsal lateral telencephalon have an effect on shoaling behaviour under certain conditions.

▼ För att uppnå nationella och internationella klimatmål och minska den negativa mänskliga klimatpåverkan, samt för att undvika att jordens temperatur stiger ännu mer, behövs ett miljövänligare tankesätt kring hållbarhet och miljöutmaningar. Trots många miljösatsningar i samhället är det viktigt att framhäva och få en uppfattning om individens attityder och beteenden till miljömässig hållbarhet för att lättare påverka individer att agera klimatvänligt. Syftet med denna studie är att få en bild av högskolestudenters attityder och beteenden relaterat till olika miljörelevanta områden och aktiviteter som har en negativ miljöpåverkan, samt vilka bakomliggande faktorer som är av central betydelse för att förstå just dessa beteenden. Studien framhåller tidigare forskning om beteenden relaterat till miljö med koppling till studenter, jämförelsevis mellan kvinnor och män, i relation till media, sociodemografiska och socioekonomiska faktorer. Dessa faktorer belyses även i denna studie och relateras till just de intervjuade studenternas inställning, tankar och beteenden kring miljömässig hållbarhet. Studien utgår från hermeneutiken som tolkningsmetod och med kvalitativa intervjuer som metod för insamling av material. Sammanlagt har åtta personer intervjuats, varav fyra kvinnor och fyra män. Relevanta teorier som theory of planned behaviour, norm activation model och value belief norm theory med ursprung ur socialpsykologin används för analys av empirin. Empirin resulterade i åtta teman som belyser respondenternas olika attityder och beteenden och tankar kring miljömässig hållbarhet. Som tidigare forskning påvisat bekräftar även denna studie att attityder och beteenden inte alltid hänger ihop. Resultatet visar att attityder och beteenden påverkas på två olika sätt. Dels genom personers uppväxt och omgivning men också genom en påverkan från samhället från sociala medier, trender och förebilder.
In order to achieve national and international climate goals and reduce the negative human impact on the climate, as well as to avoid increasing the temperature of the Earth, more environmentally friendly thinking about sustainability and environmental challenges is needed. Despite many environmental initiatives in society, it is important to emphasize and get an idea of the individual's attitudes and behaviors towards environmental sustainability to more easily influence individuals to act climate friendly. The purpose of this study is to get a picture of university students' attitudes and behaviors related to different environmentally relevant areas and activities that have a negative environmental impact, as well as underlying factors that are crucial to understand these behaviors. The study highlights previous research on behavior related to environment and students, comparatively between women and men, in relation to the media and socio-demographic and socio-economic factors. It is these factors that also are highlighted in this study and are related to the attitudes, thoughts and behaviors of the interviewed students…

▼ The production of lamb meat is a large and important agricultural industry in Australia. Variability and seasonality of the climate and the demand for a consistent product (in terms of weight and age) have led to an increase in the use of feedlot systems for finishing lambs. An estimated 5-20% of lambs in feedlots are prone to ‘shy-feeding’ or inappetance. Factors considered to contribute to the condition of shy-feeding include: neophobia (environment and concentrated feeds), acidosis and competition around feeding; however, little is known about the individual characteristics of these animals. The aim of this thesis was to examine the relationships between social behaviour, feeding behaviour and stress in lambs in intensive finishing systems.
A preliminary study examined relationships between temperament, feeding behaviour, social interactions and cortisol concentrations in lambs in the first 2 weeks in an intensive finishing system (feedlot). Lambs in two 20-lamb feedlots (with 2 m2 floor space/animal) were studied. Prior to entry to the feedlot the lambs were subjected to a temperament test (Isolation Box Test) in which activity was measured. Weight gain, general activity, lying time, time at the feeder, number of feeding bouts, displacement at the feeder and plasma cortisol concentrations in weeks 1 and 2 in the feedlot were recorded. A parsimonious general linear model was developed to relate the logarithm of cortisol concentration to all other measurements. Cortisol was most elevated if the lamb’s activity in the feedlot (number of steps) was low (P=0.000025) and also for those lambs that fed more frequently (P=0.0010). Higher levels of activity in the temperament test were associated with higher cortisol concentrations in week 1 when the lamb was not displaced from the feeder. However there was an interaction with the number of displacements (P=0.0016), leading to little effect when a displacement occurred. A linear model could not be fitted for cortisol in week 2.
A second study investigated some individual characteristics associated with shy-feeding. Forty lambs in a feedlot pen were studied in 3 cohorts (120 lambs total) over 16 months. This study focused on the behaviour of lambs in the first week in the feedlot. Lambs were provided with 2 m2 floor space per animal and 4 cm trough length each. Temperament and weights were recorded before entry to the feedlot and weights were recorded again at the end of the first week. Based on total time spent feeding over a 24-h period in week 1, lambs were categorized into two distinct groups: “Shy-feeders” (<30 min feeding, n=22) and “Feeders” (>1 hour feeding, n=98). Accumulated analysis of variance was used to compare entry weights, temperament, growth (live weight change), and feeding behaviour of each group. Most of the Shy-feeders lost weight in the first week whilst most of the Feeders gained weight, however within each grouping there was no relationship between growth and time at the feed trough despite time at the feed trough varying from 1 to 5 h…

▼ This study presents the findings revealed because of the lack of empirical research exploring police perceptions of informal accusations of racial profiling. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive single case study focused on exploring police decision-making following an informal accusation of racial profiling, in which no litigation occurred, during a police-motorist interaction. The purpose of this study included exploring police recommendations of what guidelines are necessary to reduce accusations of racial profiling. This study used a descriptive framework to explore accusations of racial profiling, feelings, perceptions, training, and leadership. Face-to-face and Skype® semi-structured interviews used a purposeful and convenience approach. Eighteen police volunteers were selected for this study. Six themes emerged based on the participant’s perceptions and experiences regarding informal accusations, responses to accusations, and police recommendations. The themes were focus on completing the task, responding professionally, fairness and respect, education, community interactions to change misperceptions, and perceptions of racial profiling. The participants advised communications between police and the community they serve is essential for reducing accusations. Implications for leadership to consider based on this study are a need for a comprehensive approach for how to interact within the community they serve, how to ensure personnel are not intentionally engaging in racial profiling, and to correct personnel actions that do not follow departmental rules. Recommendations included police-community interactions, open-forums, and better communications to allow police to explain behaviors before the media intensifying accusations.

▼ Pheromones are important chemical substances for
social insects. They could be used for individual recognition, group aggregation, dispersion or path direction. In this study, I used American cockroaches, of which
social behavior has been documented, to test whether they could distinguish the pheromone odor of their own group. I manipulated the group composition of cockroaches by adding various number of individuals hatched from the same or different ootheca into the host group. By using the feces as the pheromone source, path and habitat selection experiments were performed to examine whether the selection was influenced by the manipulated group composition. Adding individuals hatched from different oothecae significantly reduced the correct selection rates in both experiments, and it also increased the time for decision-making in path selection experiment. The results suggest that groups containing members from multi-ootheca would lower its membersâ judgment on own pheromone recognition.

▼ Interdependent work, where men and women work together in groups, is becoming an increasingly common part of today’s workplace. In these interdependent settings, gender is not just an attribute of an individual (target gender), but also an attribute of the group as a whole (group gender composition). Recent research suggests that, in these interdependent contexts, it is group gender composition, rather than a target’s gender, that affects group members’ evaluations of their group-mates (West, Heilman, Gullett, Moss-Racusin, & Magee, 2012). The current research is the first to explore when and why group gender composition influences intragroup evaluations. Across three studies, I tested two hypotheses. First, I hypothesized that group gender composition would influence intragroup evaluations via one of two routes—either via the target’s behavior or via the perceiver’s biased evaluations of the target. My second hypothesis was that increasing the amount of outcome interdependence (i.e. the extent to which group members are rewarded based on the group’s performance instead of their own individual performance) experienced by a group would improve evaluations in female relative to male dominant groups. Consistent with past research, I expected that under conditions of low outcome interdependence intragroup evaluations would be more negative in female dominant than male dominant groups. However, under conditions of high outcome interdependence, I argue that a task may appear more female gender-typed (i.e. emphasize traits typically associated with women, like cooperation), and as a result, the influence of group gender composition on intragroup evaluations should dissipate. Findings suggest that group gender composition biases perceivers’ evaluations of their group-mates. In Studies 1 and 2, there was no evidence that target behavior mediated the relationship between group gender composition and intragroup evaluations; moreover, in Study 3, group gender composition influenced intragroup evaluations even when targets’ behavior was held constant. Consistent with my second hypothesis, level of outcome interdependence moderated the relationship between group gender composition and intragroup evaluations. For Studies 1 and 3, I found the expected interaction between group gender composition and level of outcome interdependence. When groups experienced low outcome interdependence, members of male dominant groups evaluated each other more positively than members of female dominant groups. Results reversed under conditions of high outcome interdependence, such that members of female dominant groups evaluated each other more positively than members of male dominant groups, albeit not significantly so. However, there was no evidence that moderation by outcome interdependence was due to changes in the perceived gender type of the task. Findings from Study 3 suggest that participants who experienced conditions of high outcome interdependence…

▼ From the early 2000s onwards, authentic leadership has continued to garner growing interest from academia, the public sector, and across multiple industries. Perhaps the reason for the increased focus on authenticity is the unethical behavior demonstrated by a number of leaders from 2000 to 2010. While there is growing interest in demonstrating authenticity as a situational leadership style or even an inherent trait, there is limited research on what leadership strategies or practices are most effective for authentic leaders. This study was designed to apply a common definition, or set of criteria, to identify leaders that are authentic. Once this group of authentic leaders has been identified, research can be conducted to understand common characteristics, traits, styles, practices, and strategies. Conversely, the opportunity exists to understand what common challenges authentic leaders face to determine mitigation strategies. The findings of this study provided exemplary best practices for leaders in business and other fields. To help ground the study, a detailed literature review of leadership theory, and authentic leadership’s place within the study of leadership, was completed. The historical examination of leadership is important as it adds richness and context to how authenticity has risen to prominence within empirical and theoretical research. This research showed that common leadership strategies and practices among authentic leaders include the ability to connect and engage through honest and transparent storytelling. Authentic leaders are vulnerable and transparent, and they enable and engage people and organizations through sharing a compelling vision. Their core leadership approach of honesty and transparency does not change, but they will flex how direct they are based on the situation and audience. In terms of challenges, authentic senior leaders have a high desire for their authentic approach to be reciprocated, and they can be too demanding. In order to overcome these challenges, they try to manage their stress and use physiological and mental means to manage energy. Authentic senior leaders measure success in terms of business results, talent development, and being recognized. The advice they have for future leader is to be one’s authentic self and to understand one’s personal mission and purpose.
