1. The social behavior shown in the picture is taken in a room of mine where there are three young
gentlemen quietly using their respective laptops. Two seem to be sitting on the bed whereas the
other individual is sitting on the floor. This social behavior can be categorized under
anchoring heuristics as they use the values they know to create a starting point to which a quiet
yet calm environment is achieved.
As you can see, the first individual to the left is “skyping” with his friend while doing his
assignments. He prefers to refer foreign sources instead of the ones near him most probably
because he has more confidence in his online peer’s assistance rather than the ones in the same
roof as him.
Based on the available heuristics of the sound coming from the laptop of the individual in the
middle, I have noticed that he is listening to a documentary without using ear-pieces. This is
probably due to his self-prefered-being in a noisy environment. Hence he opted to create a
soundful environment to overcome his uncomfortability of being in a pin-drop silent room.
The individual to the very right however is probably “skyping” with another individual as his

2. representative heuristic appears to be similar to the one as the individual to the left. The
individual though appears to be sitting on the floor. This is probably due to his wanting to keep
cool as the floor is being cooled by the air-conditioner right above him.
Based on the naturalistic observation, I have concluded that the correlation between these social
behaviors is probably due to the availability of wi-fi that has made them slaves to technology
instead of carrying out verbal communication amongst each other.
