Social Psychology Week 11 Introduction Are you a conformist, or do you resist going along with the crowd? Would you help in an emergency? In this topic, we will discuss Chapter 12 Social Psychology in your textbook. Up until this point in our studies we have examined the psychological processes of individuals. In Chapter 12 we will learn how an individual is influenced by social situations. First we will explore the factors which influence our perceptions of others. You may be surprised to learn that our impression of others is often independent of the characteristics of the person we are judging. Social situations can influence our behaviors. Next, we will discuss the topic of attributions. Attributions influence how we explain our behavior and the behavior of others. We will also discuss the topic of attitudes. Attitudes are learned ways of judging people and situations. Attitudes can be positive, negative or ambivalent. Attitudes affect our behavior and in turn, our behavior can affect our attitudes. In Chapter 12 we will learn about specific attitudes such as prejudice. We will discover possible causes of prejudice and ways to reduce prejudice. In Chapter 12 we will learn about the factors that influence conformity, and how culture impacts this behavior. We will also read about the controversial obedience study of Stanley Milgram. Other topics discussed in this chapter include altruism and how groups can influence individual behavior.
