abstract = {Existing models of group behavior, in a variety of fields, leave 
many open challenges. In particular,  existing 
models often focus only on a specific phenomenon (e.g., flocking, 
pedestrian movement), and thus must be switched depending on the 
goals of the simulation. In contrast, we investigate a general cognitive model of 
simulating group behaviors, based on Festinger's 
Social Comparison Theory (SCT), a prominent social psychology theory.  
In previous work, we have show SCT covers a variety of pedestrian movement  
phenomena. In this paper we present evidence for SCT's generality by 
describing the use of the SCT model (using the Soar 
cognitive architecture) in 
generation of imitational behavior in loosely-coupled groups. Since the 
imitational behavior does not have clear standards of evaluation, we  
 propose a method for such evaluation. Based on 
experiments with human subjects, we show that SCT generates behavior 
more in-tune with human crowd behavior.},
