Natalie Fridman and Gal A. Kaminka. Modeling Imitational Behavior via Social
Comparison Theory (Extended Abstract) . In C. Pelachaud, J. Martin, E. Andre, G. Chollet, K. Karpouzis, and D. Pele,
editors, Intelligent Virtual Agents 2007 , LNAI, pp. 377–378, Springer-Verlag, 2007.
Modeling crowd behaviors is an important challenge for intelligentvirtual agents. We propose a general cognitive model of simulating crowd behaviors, based on Festinger's Social Comparison Theory (SCT), a prominent social psychology theory. Wepresent the use of the SCT model (using the Soar cognitive architecture) in thegeneration of imitational behavior in loosely-coupled groups and show that SCT generatesbehavior more in-tune with human crowd behavior.
