Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023The study of competition from a social comparison perspective offers valuable insights into the neuroscience of social judgment and decision making under uncertainty.

Modeling crowd behavior is an important challenge for cognitive modelers. We propose a novel model of crowd behavior, based on Festinger's Social Comparison Theory, a social psychology theory known and expanded since the early 1950's. We propose a concrete framework for SCT, and evaluate its implementations in several crowd behavior scenarios.
