How are people in those roles supposed to behave in the ‘real world’? Deindividuation Entrapment How did the prison study take away the ‘individuality’ of the participants? Once a ‘guard’ has done of couple of guard-like things to a ‘prisoner,’how does he feel about himself? How might he justify that behavior? Zimbardo’s Prison Study individual behavior Beliefs Attitudes Milgram’s Obedience Experiment social context Roles Norms Entrapment Diffusion of responsibility Roles What roles were involved in Milgram’s study? Entrapment Once a participant had ‘shocked’ a learner a few times, how would s/he explain her behavior to him/herself? Diffusion of responsibility Who might the ‘teachers’ have blamed for their behavior? Milgram’s Obedience Experiment What are the norms for behavior toward a person in a lab coat in charge of technical equipment? Has this changed at all in recent years? Why? What portion of participants were willing to play the assigned role? All administered some shock. 2/3 administered ‘life-threatening’ shock. What historical events inspired Milgram’s work? What more recent events does the work remind you of? Milgram’s Obedience Experiment What is the role of fear in this kind of behavior? Stereotyping A mental trick we use to fill in gaps in our knowledge If I don’t know many _______ people, where will my ideas about them come from? Stereotyping Stereotypes are not necessarily ‘negative’ – but what are some flaws with stereotyping as a strategy for understanding the world? Magnify differences – we focus on what’s different between “them” and “us” Self-fulfilling; self-supporting - we notice what fits, and ignore the rest Hide differences – we focus on what’s the same about all of “them” Prejudice = Negative Stereotype + Strong Negative Feeling Where does prejudice come from? •Often a strategy for dealing with fear – homophobia, economic insecurity •‘We take care of our own’ – social evolutionary function? •Economic/political function – Those in power maintain power by claiming those without power are inferior (what kind of attribution are these powerful people making????) Irrational: Unable to ‘hear’ information that contradicts the belief Prejudice What happens to prejudice when the economy is bad? Why?
