ASSIGNMENT - SHORT FILM/VIDEO/MOVIE ANALYSIS (30%) Movies/film/video offer detailed portrayals of human social behavior. Your task in this assignment is to analyze -- from a social- psychological perspective -- the behaviors and events depicted in one of the films/movie/video of your choice. You are not being asked to critique the film in terms of its value as a work of art or as entertainment. Rather, you should think carefully about the human actions and events portrayed in the film. Then, to make sense of this material, apply what you've learned this semester regarding the factors that predict and explain human social behavior. SITINOR/FEM4103/PERTAMA

This assignment is comprehensive: I urge you to bring any/all concepts encountered in this course that relate to the issues, interactions, and behaviors portrayed in the films/movie/video of your choice. Choose and views two(2) movies/ films/videos. Then, after reviewing your notes and readings, identify social-psychological principles or concepts that appear to be operating in the events or individuals depicted in the film (e.g., cognitive dissonance, schemas, self-fulfilling prophecies, groupthink, deindividuation, conformity, realistic conflict theory, modern racism, etc.). For each principle that you identify: –Describe the relevant scene (you may assume that your reader has seen the film); –describe in detail the social-psychological principles/concepts you believe are relevant, bringing in research findings as much as possible (that is, briefly state the findings of relevant experiments/research you've read or heard about); and SITINOR/FEM4103/PERTAMA

- elaborate on how the selected scene conforms and/or fails to conform to the social-psychological principle/concept you have identified, as well as to the research findings that support the principle/concept (for example, describe how the scene is similar to or different from relevant experiments/research you've read or heard about). Your written analysis should be succinct and well-written (10 pages – 5 pages for each movie/film/video). Be sure to include an introduction to orient the reader, as well as a discussion to tie things together. The written analysis will be worth 30% of your final paper grade. Submit your written analysis together with the CD of the related movie/film/videos. DUE DATE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE FINAL EXAM DATE. SITINOR/FEM4103/PERTAMA
