Social Psychology Concepts by Morgan Scails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4 en-us 2023-02-27 00:33:16 UTC 2023-02-27 02:02:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Social Perception morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495618503 Social Perception is how we as humans make impressions of other people and conclude inferences about who that person is. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The above photo that I chose highlights the first meeting of two people in which social perception is already occurring. During this initial meeting is when one will take account of someone's verbal and nonverbal cues to try to make out why that person behaves the way they do. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495618503 Self Concept morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495622682 Self-concept is defined as an overall set of beliefs or feelings about one's personal attributes. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The above photo plays with the psychological concept of self-concept, and how one perceives themselves. The above also highlights how we can be our own worst critics, analyzing ourselves closer than anyone else would. Moreover, self-concept is directly related to how well you will do for yourself, as you can only complete what you feel is possible you could. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495622682 Prejudice morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495635314 Prejudice is defined as a particularly hostile or negative emotion about a specific group of people partly or completely because of their membership to that group. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The photo above displays a Muslim, young girl, wearing a hijab being ostracized and isolated by her peers when walking down the hallway. She is clearly not doing anything other than existing in this depiction, so it leads on to believe they are making their prejudice known by staring at her. This type of hostility makes it hard for students to learn and concerns their safety. (Extreme Prejudice. (n.d.). ) ]]> 2023-02-27 01:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495635314 Persuasion morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495640174 Persuasion is defined as the act of influencing change of someone's mind, under no duress, through communication. (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998) There are several methods of persuasion for example the foot in the door, and the door in the face techniques. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The above photo illustrates persuasion because you can see the people being persuaded are having new thoughts being placed in their heads by the persuader. ]]> 2023-02-27 01:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495640174 Group Think morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495644524 Group think is defined as the practice of making decisions or thinking as a group specifically in a way the negates personal responsibility and does not encourage creativity. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) As seen in the above graphic, group think happens frequently in the work environment. I think this is a great look at the damage group think can do as illustrated through the shattered light bulb. Which typically, unbroken, is the sigh of brilliant and creative ideas. Group think does not promote creativity or individuality.]]> 2023-02-27 01:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495644524 Conformity morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495650833 Conformity is defined as a change in ones behaviors based solely on the real or imagined pressure of society. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The still from a YouTube video above depicting a well-known experiment in a theatrical way. During this experiment, the participants are asked a question to which there is an obvious answer. What they don't know is many of the other participants are aware of the experiment and were told to choose the wrong answer. Many other participants simply went along with it and chose to conform for a slew of reasons. One of which not wanting to stand out of be different.  As you can see, many other than two are choosing the wrong answer.]]> 2023-02-27 01:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495650833 Cognitive Dissonance morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495657362 Cognitive dissonance is defined as the discomfort that occurs when there are conflicting thoughts, beliefs, or actions. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The above photo is in the format of the ever-popular MEME and highlights some of the result of cognitive dissonance as the options are either recognizing through further research and introspection that we could be wrong, or ignoring what we know is causing the dissonance and continuing the harmful behavior. A good example of this would be smoking. (Psychology, 2022)   ]]> 2023-02-27 01:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495657362 Bystander Effect morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495660058 Bystander effect is defined as the phenomenon that suggests the more people are around to witness something, the less likely someone is bound to help. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) I think the above photo is a clever way to covey the act of diffusion of responsibility. The way the figurines are carefully placed not only in the shot, but spanning vastly out of the shot as well suggests that there could be dozens of bystanders, all witnessing violence. Yet none of them are inclined to help. ]]> 2023-02-27 01:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495660058 Attitude morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495665065 Attitude is defined as evaluation of objects, ideas, and people. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) The above photo, featured in our text is a good example of how implicit attitudes can negatively affect a situation. In this photo on the name tags it highlights two names that are popular in White culture, and two names that are popular in Black culture.  Our text suggests that because of implicit attitudes about race, someone having a Blacker 'sounding' name could result in them not getting an interview at a company they were interest in.]]> 2023-02-27 01:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495665065 Aggressive Behavior morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495674833 Aggression is defined as an intentional behavior that is done in order to bring psychical or emotional harm to someone. (Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Sommers, S. R., Page-Gould E., & Lewis Jr., N. (2022) While it is much cuter as seen above in a child, it is only cute for a bit until that child turns into an adult and is displaying aggressive or even violent tendencies. There are many reasons why a person can become aggressive in nature, one of which being growing up in a dysfunctional household. When it comes to children developing and displaying empathy, it is largely up to what they see from the parents. (Kennedy, J. (2019) Additionally, is they are seeing communication that results in violence every time, they will mimic that behavior.   ]]> 2023-02-27 01:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495674833 References: morganscails https://padlet.com/morganscails/xl3tz3nwyuzg0ko4/wish/2495676352 -Aronson, E., Wilson, T.
