environmental input: social setting where most of the people are loud, extroverted and outgoing

the social mind: past experience taught her that being her quiet self would result in her being left out

In my opinion, social psychology refers to how a person's thoughts, behavior and even personality can be influenced or changed by their environment, as well as other factors such as the people surrounding them.

In this experiment, the guards hold more authority and power over the prisoners. This power imbalance led to the abusive nature of the guards which in turn, made the prisoners develop psychological abuse and fearful of the guards overtime.

Groupthink would be the social concept that has impacted me the most. Due to my want in maintaining the harmony in a group dynamic, I tend to go with others' opinion and forego my own. I have the fear of being in a situation whereby in a group project, there is some silent tension within the group which can affect the group's performance and collaboration.

Deindividuation has impacted me the most because it explains that some people may feel less responsible and less aware in a group setting and will hence behave differently.

The girls would not usually react this way in reality. As each of them started getting into a physical brawl, others followed this behaviour and gradually became a norm quickly.

Other people behaved violently, which influenced the girls to behave the same way. They felt that it was ok for them to do so because the group setting made them feel less responsible.

Asch's experiment showcases how a person can deny what they see and submit to group pressure. This experiment not only allows us to observe conformity but to study the conditions that increase or reduce its occurance.

The 'Plastics' have a hierarchy in the group. Karen smith is the aloof one who tends to be undermined. Gretchen weiners is the people-pleasing one, more towards Regina as she feels that she has to please her. Regina George is the intimidating and subtly-mean leader of the group, who turns down Gretchen's ideas and speaks behind Karen's back.

They have rules like wearing pink on wednesdays and jeans/ track pants can only be worn on fridays, once broken they could not sit at the table. There is a norm of Regina degrading and undermining Gretchen and Karen but they both don't stand up for themselves, instead they remain obedient.

Social psychology is involved in social media through the way likes, comments or number of followers. These are factors of social media, a platform that diminishes one's sense of self through the impression of anonymous strangers. Resulting in people changing the way they naturally are to fit into the 'perfect' mould society projects onto them, causing them to lose themselves.

Social Psychology is deeply involved in Social Media. This can be seen through the way we interact with one another online or even just seeing other people's posts. One example of how Social Psychology is involved is when we see a trend going on online, people feel an urge to join in as they have a fear of missing out on what other people are doing. This is an example of how easily we can be influenced and feel a need to conform and follow the crowd.

It is not ethical! The guards became abusive and prisoners were clearly showing signs of emotional distress, yet the experiment continued. They weren’t fully aware of the risks as well and there should have been more protection for their mental health

The losing team failed because they didn’t work together effectively and seemed to rely too much on individual strength instead of teamwork and timing. They didn’t stay coordinated or fully commit to the strategy as a group.

Initially, both the prisoners and the guards were from the same role - students. However, as time passed, the students began to act more like their roles. The guards would actually hit the prisoners. They even used physical and psychological abuse on the prisoners and abused their power. On the other hand, the prisoners became more submissive and scared of the guards even though the guards were students like themselves.

These girls wouldn’t typically react like this in everyday life, but they did because during the moment, there was a huge crowd where everybody was fighting with each other, making these girls think it’s okay to join in and fight as well.

In the Stanford Prison Experiment, at first, both the prisoners and guards started out as equals, just regular students. However, as the experiment progressed, the students in both roles began to change. The guards began to act more aggressively towards the prisoners as they got more immersed in their roles and the authority they held. Hence, they became deindividuated, losing their personal identities and fully conforming to the role of a prison guard. Meanwhile, the prisoners also changed as they became more timid towards the guards, also losing their personal identities as they obey the guards.

# data[].attributes.body
The losing team lost because first and foremost, they believed that they were stronger because the opposing team had women and elderly. Thus, they thought they could just rely fully on brute force and strength without needing to think of any strategies. Due to not having any coordination or strategy, they easily lost control and lost.

Social loafing can stand in the way of even the best planned strategies because people may get overconfident and think they can afford to slack a little due to having such a well planned out strategy.

I saw groupthink happening when Gretchen was ordered by Regina to switch positions with Cady before the show.

Social psychology is involved in social media because social media is a social platform where people are free to express their opinions and post whatever they want, so there’s bound to be social norms and conformity, influencing different people in different ways, affecting the way they express themselves.

I understand the Stanford Prison Experiment as a clear example of how social roles and situational power can strongly shape behavior, sometimes more than personality.

In the experiment, participants were randomly assigned the roles of guards or prisoners, but those roles quickly changed how they acted. The guards began to adopt authoritarian behaviors, becoming increasingly controlling, aggressive, and sometimes cruel. Many of them seemed to internalize the expectations of the “guard” role, acting as if they truly had power and authority.

On the other hand, the prisoners became passive, anxious, and submissive. Some showed signs of emotional distress and loss of personal identity. Being treated as powerless caused them to internalize the role of “prisoner,” leading to obedience and withdrawal.

The experiment shows the impact of deindividuation, conformity to social roles and situational influences on behavior. It supports the idea that behavior is not only driven by internal traits, but also by the social context and expectations placed on individuals.

There are different cliques and people in those cliques have certain social norms and roles to follow in the social group to fit in like inside jokes, hanging out after school or only talking in school and having outside cliques consists of friends from school we graduated from or work or events we met people we call friends. Social roles like who is leader, follower, mom friend, nerd, princess or prince or diva or those who are always early or who drive them home from club.

The clique would be quite defensive or accepting depending on the person's personality towards newcomers trying to join the group. It would take time but it would be difficult for newcomer since the group has already established itself as a clique, which make the newcomer an outsider in a social group.

the girls behave violently and irrationally, which isn’t typical of how most girls would act in everyday life. what made it okay for them to behave this way in the scene was the chaos caused by the Burn Book being exposed, creating a moment where hurt feelings, rumours, and group tensions boiled over and led to everyone fighting, so it also made them think they could start fighting with everyone else as well. this reflects their social pressures rather than real everyday behaviour.
