Social friction vs. cognitive efficiency: A comparative analysis of help-seeking behaviors in human communities and generative AI
Fig 5
The internal consistency of impression management strategies.
(a) The HAI group (Left) exhibits small but detectable positive correlations among social markers, reflecting a slight behavioral consistency in the absence of external constraints. (b) The HHI group (Right) displays near-zero correlations (“white noise”), indicating that impression management is a “norm-driven” strategic module deployed only when socially required.
