Social Psychology Concepts
Lectures are attached and the reading is from chapter 12 from: https://archive.org/details/Psychology_201906/page/n413/mode/2up For this assignment you will need to pick two different concepts covered in the lectures for chapter 12, which are not closely related, to apply to real-life examples. Once you have picked them, write a 500–600 word essay that incorporates the following: Explain first concept: In your own words explain what the basic idea the first concept you picked is. This should be a sentence or two. Explain a real-life example of first: Discuss something from your life, current events, a movie, a TV show, etc. that is an example of this concept (this shouldn’t be hypothetical). First, state what exactly the example is and then explain how it fits in as an example of it. Remember, depth is important and avoid being vague. Explain second concept: In your own words explain what the basic idea of the second concept you picked is. This should be a sentence or two. Explain a real-life example of second: Discuss something from your life, current events a movie, a TV show, etc. that is an example of this concept (this shouldn’t be hypothetical). First, state what exactly the example is and then explain how it fits in as an example of it. Remember, depth is important and avoid being vague. NOTE: Examples should not be ones from the textbook. Do not use concepts that are very closely related (e.g. don’t do foot-in-the-door and door-in-the-face or social facilitation and social loafing). Level of detail: Make sure to avoid using general or vague ideas such as “it just sounds very cool,” “psychology always seemed awesome,” or “how the brain works fascinates me.” Also, make sure to do go in-depth when addressing the examples, don’t just try to do it in a few sentences.
