Interplay between relational knowledge and events
Abstract
Social knowledge in any form - knowledge of ourselves, knowledge of other people, knowledge of social situations, or knowledge of relationships — is knowledge about something. There are links, to varying degrees veridical or spurious, complex or simple, between knowledge structures and observable phenomena. For example, knowledge of a close friend might include information about physical appearance, background, motivations, traits, or activities that are based on data such as eye color, place of birth, occupation, characteristic behaviors, etc. Similarly, new events (such as finding out that s/he betrayed a confidence) may alter one or more aspects of that knowledge (such as his/her trustworthiness or motivation to preserve your friendship).
