Experiment Time! As you come in, grab three small slips of paper from the desk by my projector. Put your name on all three slips. Extra Credit Opportunity You will be deciding how many bonus points will be awarded to your learning tests. Your options: #1. Write the word “everyone” if you think all students should get two extra credit points. #2. Circle your name if you think that only you should get 5 extra credit points. I will read each slip out loud (the name and the vote)…..The rules: If all students choose “everyone”, every student will earn 2 extra points. If 3 or less students choose themselves, those students will earn 5 extra points and everyone else will get nothing. If more than three students choose themselves, no one will get extra credit points. What do you predict will happen? What went into your decision? How did the presence of others impact your behavior? Trial #2: Extra Credit Opportunity Same instructions but now the results will be read out-loud. How do you think the results will compare with the first trial? Why? What was different in your decision making when you knew your vote wouldn’t be publicized? Final Trial: This one counts! Heads: Public Tails: Secret Unit 5: Social Psychology The study of how we think about, influence, and relate to one another. Imagine this… You’re driving down a highway when a woman cuts in front of you without signaling, almost resulting in an accident. Why did she do this? What separates social psychology from what we’ve done so far? Previous Unit: Personality Focused on individual characteristics of a person. Called “dispositional attributions” (she acted that way because she’s just a bad driver). This unit: Social Psychology Focused on how an individual’s behavior can be influenced by others. Called “situational attributions” (she acted that way because she had a rude child distracting her in the back seat). Topics to come and questions to think about: -Compliance and persuasion: How do advertisers and salespeople manipulate your behavior? -Obedience: Would you hurt another person if an authority figure told you it was okay? -Group dynamics: If thousands of people were rioting, looting and vandalizing property, would you do it too? -Conformity: If you were in a room of highly intelligent people and they all were asked if the square root of 64 was 10, and they all replied “yes”, how would you answer? -Gender: Is gender and sex the same thing? -Attraction: Do you have a “type”? -Attitudes and Actions: If a person tells you a second semester teacher is horrible and the class “sucks”, how would that affect your behavior? In your notebooks: Define Are attitude in your own words. there multiple common uses? Attitude The belief and feeling that predisposes someone to respond in a particular way to objects, people, and events. What is your attitude about… School Exercise Smoking Your parents Your closest friend President Obama Attitudes impact actions (behaviors) Some studies show that attitudes predict behavior. We do “talk the talk and walk the walk.” Especially when…. The We outside influences are minimal. are very aware of our attitudes. Day 1 Essential question: How can actions impact attitudes? Any personal experiences? Stanford Prison Study (1972) Google: CBS News Stanford Prison …and choose the first link. As you go through the slideshow, look for at least five actions and how each one had an impact on attitudes. Stanford Video 12:23-19:26 http://www.learner.org/series/discovering psychology/19/e19expand.html Fill out Day 1 of your chart with information from the slideshow yesterday and the video today. Optical Illusion Review Do you remember optical illusions like this from our sensation and perception unit? Which of the two lines in each image is larger? Stay tuned for the connection to social psychology. Social-Spatial Perception Studies have found a strong correlation between individuals with poor social skills and an inability to judge size differences in objects. These people tend to be fooled more easily by optical illusions than the average person. Psychologists reason. are still trying to figure out a Trial #1 Trial #2 Trial #3 Conformity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgRoiTWkBHU Candid Camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnAyr0kWRGE Dead Poets Society Why did conformity happen according to evidence found in conformity studies? (323324) Add to your unit chart: Label Day 2 with the topic “conformity”. Use the first couple pages of the packet titled “Conformity and Obedience” from yesterday to find evidence to help answer the essential question. **If you were absent, you have no idea what I’m talking about. Please see me. Obedience The tendency to comply with orders, implied or real, from someone perceived as an authority. In packet: 2nd paragraph on page 324. Follow along as I read. Milgrim replication video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GxIu ljT3w Stickpeople Group Share What examples of obedience did you find? Discuss what likely caused them to be obedient. Add evidence to Day 3: Obedience Milgrim’s evidence. Examples of obedience in real life. http://abcnews.go.com/WhatWouldYouDo/video/beating-car-breathalyzer10713920 Is this showing conformity, obedience or neither? Grab Computers Finish up your post from yesterday and make at least one comment (a useful one!) about another classmate’s post. Useful means insightful, critical, your reaction, etc. When you are complete, take time to fill in evidence in your chart about Persuasion (Day 4). Infomercials and Salespeople What kinds of tactics do they use to sell products? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08xQLGWTSag Supercut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-6QncKMf_Y Every infomercial ever Day 5: Compliance (5/1/15) Fill in the chart with evidence Good compliance definition. Examples of compliance techniques Complete the NASA activity individually NASA Assignment Answers… 1. Take the absolute value of the ‘actual answer’ minus ‘your answer’. 2. Do this for your individual rankings and your group consensus. 3. Total each column. NASA recap Who did better individually than your group? Who did better in your group than individually? What was difficult about working in a group? What was your group good at, or what was helpful about working with your group? Were there members that were leaders? Followers? Slackers? Or did everyone contribute equally? “Group Dynamics” How does group membership affect our behavior, thinking and decision making? Characteristics of a group…. They have a set of people who engage in frequent interactions They identify with one another. They are defined by others and themselves as a group. They share beliefs, values, and norms about areas of common interest. They come together to work on common tasks and for agreed purposes. Listen to the possible groups and choose either “group”, “not a group” or “maybe a group. How did each of those group dynamic terms applied to the NASA group task? If they didn’t apply, how could they have applied? Group Dynamics Social Facilitation: Improved performance on tasks in the presence of others. This works for well-learned or easy tasks (think about sports) For difficult tasks, the presence of others hurts performance. Social Loafing: Tendency for people in a group to give less effort when pooling their efforts. People feel less accountable. People think their efforts don’t matter. Group Dynamics Group Polarization: Enhancement of a group’s already existing attitudes through discussion. Talking with like-minded people strengthened your beliefs. Think of terrorist groups (ISIS, KKK, etc.) Groupthink: Thinking that occurs when the desire for harmony in a decision-making group overrules logical choices. Conformity is involved. People think their efforts don’t matter. Apply your knowledge Come up with a time that you’ve experienced each of the group dynamic terms. If you were invisible for 24 hours, what would you do? What would you not do? Your Chart Day 6-7 (combined): Group Dynamics (5/4-5/5) Today’s Topics Individuation The Bystander Effect Take out your charts and add info for the following: Day 8 (1/15): Deindividuation and the Bystander Effect Attraction If you have (or have had) a boyfriend or girlfriend, or are attracted to someone, why did that happen? http://www.learner.org/series/discoveringpsychology/01/e01expand.html (start at 5:25) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ9mOCPhfAc Redone in the 70s. Three Factors in Attraction 1. Proximity: how physically close you are. Mere exposure effect: The more you are exposed to a stimuli (like a person), the better chance of liking it. Through evolution, we judge familiar faces as less threatening. 2. Physical Attractiveness: how they look on the surface. First impressions are based on superficial factors. Women are more likely to say that appearance doesn’t matter, although it does to them. Culturally, attractive people are judged in a more positive light. Standards of attractiveness change over time and across cultures. Three Factors in Attraction 3. Similarity: how much you have in common. Research shows that opposites don’t attract. Similar interests and characteristics make relationships easier. Similarity = Longer relationships One additional factor: We tend to like people who like us. Expressing friendship toward another increases your own attractiveness. Who is this person? Is she physically attractive? Today’s Main Topic: Physical attractiveness through facial symmetry. Read-Aloud What makes a face attractive? Research tells us… Averageness Symmetry Options Today: Symmetry: Using Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Word, you will be find pictures, cropping, flipping, cutting, pasting to create symmetrical faces. www.webcamtoy.com can help do this for yourself. Could be your own face, friends, celebrities, etc. Can you find a person’s face that is close to symmetrical? That means their “right only” and “left only” faces look very similar to their actual picture. Averageness: www.faceresearch.org (See demos, participate in experiments, learn about facial attractiveness.) For full access, create an account (takes a minute). Predict: 1. What are some things that will be featured in this children’s book? 2. When do you think this book was written? Create a two column chart What factors influence our gender identity? One column will be labeled “biological” and the other “social/cultural”. You will be filling in information from a handout today that supports each factor. Biological means genetics, physical differences, evolution. Social/cultural means the environment, expectations, customs, situations. Let’s practice with the children’s book. Read Aloud “Culture and Gender” hand out. What info can be added to the chart What do these terms mean? Sex Gender Gender Role Gender Identity Where do you see gender roles today? Did you find a connection between the two columns? How do we see gender roles today? Halloween costumes? Television shows? Movies? Occupations? Entertainment? Music?
