Some questions in social psychology

others?• How does a catastrophe turn some people
into heroes and others into criminals?• Is she nice to me or to everybody?• Etc……….• We are social animals!!

Attribution Error
Fritz Heider • People usually attribute others
behavior whether to internal dispositions or external situations
• Are you just a cranky person or is there some stress at home? Is my AP Psychology teacher outgoing? But you only know me from one setting
• Is the person a bum or unemployed? ( not me of course)
![Page 5: Social Psychology Studying the way people relate to, think about and influence others Attitude Attraction Aggression Group Behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e725503460f94b71677/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Attribution Theory- How do we explain other’s behavior
• Tries to explain how people determine the cause of the behavior they observe.
It is either a….• Situational Attribution- a
reaction to stress or abuse • Dispositional Attribution-
an aggressive personalityAnd • Stable Attribution- lasting• Unstable Attribution -
temporary

Fundamental Attribution Error• We tend to overestimate
the role of dispositional factors (personality) and underestimate the importance of the situation.
Self-Serving Bias:readiness to perceive yourself more favorably
How do you view your teacher’s behavior?
You probably attribute it to their personality rather than their profession.
But do you really know?
If you win it is because you are awesome…if you lose, it must have been the coach or weather or….
![Page 8: Social Psychology Studying the way people relate to, think about and influence others Attitude Attraction Aggression Group Behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e725503460f94b71677/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Effects of Attribution• Every day we struggle to explain
others’ actions• Guilty or innocent?• Nice or mean?• Genuinely friendly or self-serving• Lazy or unemployed?• Effects our thinking politically and
in other areas• Conservatives tend to place
blame on personal attributions of the poor and unemployed
• Point to remember:• “Our attributions-to
individuals’ disposition or to their situations- should be made carefully. They have real consequences.”(Myers)

Attitudes:
• Feelings influenced by beliefs• They determine our reactions to
people objects and events .• Central Route v. Peripheral Route of
Persuasion• Central means that you are involved
in the issue-use a solid argument to convince somebody- analytical. Why learning something would be good for them? Get a good job. Use reasonable arguments
• Peripheral route – you respond to a product endorsed by someone famous or try to teach someone something by using an attractive teacher.

Actions affect attitudes
• Foot-in-the-door phenomenon- a tendency for people who agree to a small action to comply with a larger one later on.
• The idea: To get people to do something big- start small
• Works also with good deeds• Doing becomes believing
• During Korean War. Chinese communists had prisoners run errands etc. then slowly the prisoners came to their way of thinking (Brainwashed)
![Page 11: Social Psychology Studying the way people relate to, think about and influence others Attitude Attraction Aggression Group Behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e725503460f94b71677/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Attitude and Behavior• Do attitudes tell us about
someone’s behavior?• Leon Festinger:Cognitive Dissonance Theory• People want to have consistent
attitudes and behaviors….when they are not they experience dissonance (unpleasant tension).
• Usually they will change their attitude.
When Civil Rights law passed racial prejudice lessened
Moral actions strengthen moral convictions

Role Playing Affects Attitudes: Role is a set of expectations about a social position, that defines
behavior
Zimbardo Prison Experiment• https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=1jdOoxnr7AI
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZwfNs1pqG0
• Toxic situations can make even good people bad
• When adapting to new role ( whether playing or not) feels as though you are playing a game. As time wears on the role becomes more real
• Showed how we deindividuate AND become the roles we are given.
• Cognitive Dissonance in action
• Philip Zimbardo has students at Stanford U play the roles of prisoner and prison guards in the basement of psychology building.
• They were given uniforms and numbers for each prisoner.
• What do you think happened

Social Influence
• Social influence can be seen in conformity, our compliance and group behavior.
• Conform in clothing, speech, suicides and copy cat crimes, events in LeRoy, New York
• Social strings are strong no one wants to be the loner. But how strong are they?
![Page 14: Social Psychology Studying the way people relate to, think about and influence others Attitude Attraction Aggression Group Behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e725503460f94b71677/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Conformity Studies
• Adjusting one’s behavior or thinking to coincide with a group standard.

Asch’s Study of Conformity

Asch’s Results
• About 1/3 of the participants conformed.
• 70% conformed at least once.
To strengthen conformity:• The group is unanimous• The group is at least three
people.• One admires the group’s status• One had made no prior
commitment• One is made to feel incompetent

Chameleon Effect
• People look toward the sky so do you• Someone laughs and you join in, yawn etc.• We are natural mimics• Someone is happy you become happy = mood

Reasons for Conforming• Why do we clap when others
clap, see what they see• Studies show students who live in
dorms begin to think like each other.
• Generally we respect the norms that govern our society
• Reason: Normative social influence- price is too high not to conform or to be different
• Informational social influence- groups provide valuable information only stubborn people will never listen to the group.
• Our view of social influence as bad or good depends on our values Is this right/wrong
• Then came Millgram!

What did we learn from Milgram?
• Ordinary people can do shocking things.
• Ethical issues….• Would not have
received approval from today’s IRB (Internal Review Board).

How groups affect our behavior?
![Page 26: Social Psychology Studying the way people relate to, think about and influence others Attitude Attraction Aggression Group Behavior](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e725503460f94b71677/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Social Facilitation Theory• If you are really good at
something….or it is an easy task…you will perform BETTER in front of a group.
• If it is a difficult task or you are not very good at it…you will perform WORSE in front of a group (social impairment).
• Home team advantge• In book: when a light
turns green the drivers drive 100yds in 15% less time when side by side

Social Loafing
• The tendency for people in a group to exert less effort when pooling efforts toward a common goal than if they were individually accountable. Causes: In a group feel less accountable, view individual efforts as dispensable, may not strongly identify with the group

Groupthink
• Group members suppress their reservations about the ideas supported by the group.
• They are more concerned with group harmony.

How does prejudice occur?
Social Roots:Have v have nots- when
the haves have they develop attitudes that justify things as they are ex: slave owners justified slavery, blacks were too ______
Discrimination increases stereotyping and prejudice through the reactions it provokes in its victims

Us and Them: Ingroup and the Outgroup
• Part of evolution• The social definition of who we are
also tells us who we are not• Make instant judgments about
people: language, accent, • The “us” the ingroup automatically
excludes “them” the outgroup• Creates an ingroup bias- favoring
ones own group• Social identity formed as we
associate ourselves with certain groups and contrast ourselves to other groups- predisposes us to prejudice

Norms for Helping
• Social exchange theory- weigh the costs of doing good (time, etc.) against the benefits good feelings ex: Blood donor costs time, anxiety, benefits- reduces guilt, social approval, feels good. If rewards outweigh costs, you help
• Reciprocity norm- return help to those who have helped us
• Social – responsibility norm- help those who need help. Children- reciprocity norm not in play

Conflict and Peacemaking
