Social Psychology There will be two written response items on the test. One will come from the first group of questions (1-6) and the second will come from the second group of questions (A-G). 1. Who was the lead researcher in the “Stanford Prison Study”? Based on the results, is behavior more likely to be effected by ones’ personality traits or the “power of the situation” that a person is in? Did the study last as long as the researcher intended it to? Why? 2. Identify Festinger’s concept of “Cognitive Dissonance”. Briefly describe the original research, as discussed in class, upon which Festinger based the concept. 3. Briefly describe Milgram’s Original Obedience experiment in terms of the experimental design, the results and any ethical issues which may have been raised by this study. 4. Who was the lead researcher in the famous obedience experiment that was described in class and in the reading? Describe two aspects of the original experiment that the researcher believed contributed to the high rate of obedience as well as why they did so. 5. Briefly describe the experiment design of the “Fried Grasshopper Experiment” that was recounted in your reading assignment on the effect of attitudes on behavior. Which concept of social psychology do the results tend to support? 6. Milgram’s controversial research that was described in class would be considered unethical by today’s standards. Briefly describe the experimental design of his original obedience experiment along with the results and explain why a replication would be considered unethical today. A. Describe the difference between the “foot in the door effect” and the “door in the face effect” and give one example of each. B. Briefly describe the difference between prejudice and discrimination as well as some effective means of reducing prejudice. C. Briefly describe the classic study of conformity that was discussed in class. Who conducted the study? What were the results? D. How do social psychologists define an attitude?
