©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Lecture Overview Our Thoughts About Others Our Feelings About Others Our Actions Toward Others Applying Social Psychology to Social Problems Applying Social Psychology to Social Problems

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Introductory Definition Social Psychology (study of how other people influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others Attribution (an explanation for the cause of behaviors or events) To determine the cause we first decide whether the behavior comes from an: internal (dispositional) cause, such as personal characteristics, or external (situational) cause, such as situational demands.

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others: Mistaken Attributions 1. Fundamental Attribution Error: misjudging causes of others’ behavior and attributing to internal (dispositional) vs. external (situational) ones Saliency bias may explain focus on dispositional causes.

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others: Mistaken Attributions 2. Self-Serving Bias: taking credit for our successes, and externalizing our failures

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Attitude (learned predisposition to respond cognitively, affectively, and behaviorally to a particular object) Our Thoughts About Others

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others: Cognitive Dissonance Cognitive Dissonance: feeling of discomfort created from a discrepancy between an attitude and behavior or between two competing attitudes

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others: Cognitive Dissonance (Continued)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Thoughts About Others: Cognitive Dissonance (Continued) Festinger and Carlsmith’s Cognitive Dissonance Study: Participants given very boring tasks to complete, and then paid either $1 or $20 to tell next participant the task was “very enjoyable” and “fun.” Result? Those paid $1 felt more cognitive dissonance, therefore, they changed their attitude more about the boring tasks.

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Prejudice and Discrimination Prejudice (learned, generally negative, attitude toward members of a group) Discrimination (negative behaviors directed at members of a group)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e)

Our Feelings About Others: Prejudice and Discrimination (Cont.) Three components of prejudice: 1. Cognitive (stereotype--set of beliefs about the characteristics of people in a group generalized to all group members) 2. Affective (feelings associated with objects of prejudice) 3. Behavioral (discrimination--negative behaviors directed at members of a group)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Sources of Prejudice and Discrimination 1. Learned response 2. Mental shortcut in-group favoritism (in-group viewed more positively than out-group) out-group homogeneity effect (out- group judged as less diverse than in- group) 3. Economic and political competition 4. Displaced aggression

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Interpersonal Attraction Interpersonal Attraction (positive feelings toward another) Three Key Factors: Physical Attractiveness Proximity (geographic closeness) Similarity (need complementarity vs. need compatibility)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Interpersonal Attraction (Liking and Loving) Liking is a favorable evaluation of another. Loving can be defined in terms of caring, attachment, and intimacy.

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Interpersonal Attraction (Liking and Loving) Sample items from Rubin’s liking and loving test:

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Feelings About Others: Interpersonal Attraction (Continued) Romantic Love (erotic attraction with future expectations) Companionate Love (lasting attraction based on trust, caring, tolerance, and friendship)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Social Influence Conformity (changing behavior because of real or imagined group pressure) Obedience (following direct commands, usually from an authority figure)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Conformity Asch’s Conformity Study: Participants were asked to select the line closest in length to X. When confederates gave obviously wrong answers (A or C), more than 1/3 conformed and agreed with the incorrect choices.

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Conformity (Continued) Why do we conform? Normative Social Influence (need for approval and acceptance) Informational Social Influence (need for information and direction) Reference Groups (people we conform to because we like and admire them and want to be like them)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Obedience Milgram’s obedience study: Participants serving as “teachers” are ordered to continue shocking someone with a known heart condition who is begging to be released. Result? 65% of “teachers” delivered highest level of shock (450 volts) to the “learner.”

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Obedience Milgram’s “Shock Generator”

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Obedience Four Major Factors Affecting Obedience: 1. Legitimacy and closeness of the authority figure 2. Remoteness of the victim 3. Assignment of responsibility 4. Modeling/imitation

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Obedience

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Group Processes Group membership involves:  Roles (set of behavioral patterns connected with particular social positions)  Deindividuation (reduced self-consciousness, inhibition, and personal responsibility)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Group Processes: “Power of the Situation” Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Study: Students were randomly assigned as “prisoners” or “guards.” Original study scheduled to last for 2 weeks but terminated after 6 days due to alarming psychological changes in both “prisoners” and “guards.”

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Group Processes: Problems with Decision Making Group polarization (group movement toward either a riskier or more conservative decision; result depends on the members’ initial dominant tendency)  Groupthink (faulty decision making occurring when a highly cohesive group seeks agreement and avoids inconsistent information)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Symptoms of Groupthink:  Illusion of invulnerability  Belief in the morality of the group  Collective rationalizations  Stereotypes of out-groups  Self-censorship  Illusion of unanimity  Direct pressure on dissenters Our Actions Toward Others: Group Processes (Continued)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Aggression Aggression (any behavior intended to harm someone)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Aggression (Continued) Biological Factors in Aggression: instincts, genes, brain and nervous system, hormones and neurotransmitters, substance abuse, and other mental disorders

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Aggression (Continued) Psychosocial Factors in Aggression: – Aversive stimuli – Culture and learning – Violent media/ video games

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Aggression (Continued) Controlling or eliminating aggression: Introduce incompatible responses Improve social and communication skills

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Altruism Altruism (actions designed to help others with no obvious benefit to the helper)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Altruism Why do we help?  Egoistic Model (helping motivated by anticipated gain)  Empathy-Altruism Model (helping motivated by empathy)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Altruism

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Altruism Why Don’t We Help? Diffusion of Responsibility (dilution, or diffusion, of personal responsibility) Ambiguous Situation (unclear what help is needed)

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Our Actions Toward Others: Altruism How Do We Increase Helping? Assign responsibility Reduce ambiguity Increase societal rewards

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Applying Social Psychology to Social Problems Reducing Prejudice and Discrimination Overcoming Destructive Obedience

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Applying Social Psychology to Social Problems Reducing Prejudice and Discrimination Cooperation and superordinate goals Increased contact Cognitive retraining Cognitive dissonance

©John Wiley & Sons, Inc Huffman: Psychology in Action (8e) Applying Social Psychology to Social Problems: Overcoming Destructive Obedience Several important factors: Socialization toward obedience Power of the situation Groupthink Foot-in-the-door technique (making a small request followed by increasingly larger requests) A relaxed moral guard
