Chapter 1: Intro to Social Psychology Part 1: Wed. Aug 25, 2010 (Basic Outline only)

What is Social Psychology? The scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in a social context. –4 emphases this semester: what are they? Relatively young field. Took hold in the 30’s Today, emphasis in social psy is on what?

Careers in Social Psych Majority of social psychologists hold PhDs but some masters programs. –Work settings? Academic: Most in psych dept but other options… Applied settings:

Social Psych and Other Fields Little overlap with clinical psych –Differences? Personality Psych – a good amount of overlap with social psy –How do they differ?

Cognitive psych – good amount of overlap –Subfield of social cognition Sociology - different level of analysis and research methods –How do they differ?

Is this different from common sense? Common sense relied on explanations after the fact –hindsight Some social psych findings appear counterintuitive –Examples? Social psych uses theories to make predictions (hypotheses) –What are theories?

Intuition Exercise Results For each, indicate the correct answer (given in class…): T/F? Social psychologists often use a random sample of participants in their experiments. T/F? A well-designed survey that uses only about a thousand people randomly selected from a population of millions can accurately represent the opinions of the general population. T/F? Humans are the only species who can recognize themselves when looking in a mirror. T/F? People are better able to identify emotions on the faces of others who share their ethnic background than on those who do not. T/F? People are more likely to touch others when they are dominant to them than when they are subordinate to them. T/F? One of the best ways to avoid being influenced by stereotypes about an outgroup is to simply suppress all such thoughts. T/F? People tend to see the members of other groups as more different from each other than they see the members of their own groups.

T/F? The persuasive impact of a message given by a credible communicator tends to increase over time, whereas the persuasive impact of a message given by a non-credible communicator tends to decrease over time. T/F? People are just as likely today to conform today as they were 20 or 30 years ago. T/F? When told by an experimenter in a psychology experiment to administer severe, very painful electric shocks to another person, more than 50% of American women and men obeyed. T/F? People usually work harder when working together on a task with others than they do when working alone. T/F? The loneliest people in the United States are older adults. T/F? “Opposites attract” is more accurate than “Birds of a feather flock together.” T/F? When someone is in an accident or otherwise needs help, he or she has a better chance of getting help if only one other person is present than if several are present.

T/F? Cultures of honor promote violent behavior. T/F? Watching a very violent film or television show allows people to release their aggressions in a safe way, making them less likely to aggress themselves. T/F? For maximal accuracy, it’s better to let eyewitnesses who are identifying suspects to view many photographs all at once, rather than one at a time. T/F? Eyewitnesses are better able to accurately identify a criminal if they saw a weapon at the scene of the crime than if they did not. T/F? On the job, when asked to complete self-evaluations, women rate themselves higher than men, and subordinates rate themselves higher than managers. T/F? Sharing personal secrets with a supportive listener is good for the teller’s health.
