This paper presents a framework that captures how the social nature of agents that are situated in a multi‐agent environment impacts upon their individual mental states. Roles and social relationships provide an abstraction upon which we develop the notion of social mental shaping . This allows us to extend the standard Belief‐Desire‐Intention model to account for how common social phenomena (e.g. cooperation, collaborative problem‐solving and negotiation) can be integrated into a unified theoretical perspective that reflects a fully explicated model of the autonomous agent’s mental state.
