Social Impact Assessment
Social impact assessment (SIA) is a methodology to review the social effects of infrastructure projects and other development interventions. Although SIA is usually applied to planned interventions, the same techniques can be used to evaluate the social impact of unplanned events, for example, disasters, demographic change, and epidemics. SIA is important in Applied Anthropology Research Methods, applied anthropology, as its main goal is to deliver positive social outcomes and eliminate any possible negative or long term effects.

Social Impact Theory
Social Impact Theory was created by Bibb Latané in 1981 and consists of four basic rules which consider how individuals can be "sources or targets of social influence". Social impact is the result of social forces, including the strength of the source of impact, the immediacy of the event, and the number of sources exerting the impact. The more targets there are to impact, the less impact each target receives. Original research According to psychologist Bibb Latané, social impact is defined as any influence on individual feelings, thoughts, or behaviors that is created from the real, implied, or imagined presence or actions of others. The application of social impact varies from diffusion of responsibility to social loafing, stage fright, or persuasive communication. In 1981, Latané developed the social impact theory using three key variables: * Strength (S) is a net of all individual factors that make a person influential. It covers stable, trans-situational, intrapersonal f ...

Social Influence
Social influence comprises the ways in which individuals adjust their behavior to meet the demands of a social environment. It takes many forms and can be seen in conformity, socialization, peer pressure, obedience (human behavior), obedience, leadership, persuasion, sales, and marketing. Typically social influence results from a specific action, command, or request, but people also alter their attitudes and behaviors in response to what they perceive others might do or think.

Corporate Social Impact
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) or corporate social impact is a form of international private business self-regulation which aims to contribute to societal goals of a philanthropic, activist, or charitable nature by engaging in, with, or supporting professional service volunteering through pro bono programs, community development, administering monetary grants to non-profit organizations for the public benefit, or to conduct ethically oriented business and investment practices. While CSR could have previously been described as an internal organizational policy or a corporate ethic strategy, similar to what is now known today as environmental, social, and governance (ESG), that time has passed as various companies have pledged to go beyond that or have been mandated or incentivized by governments to have a better impact on the surrounding community. In addition, national and international standards, laws, and business models have been developed to facilitate and incentivize ...
