 If someone was attractive would you think they are more intelligent?  The halo effect is the bias where the perception of one trait (i.e. a characteristic of a person or object) is influenced by the perception of another trait (or several traits) of that person or object  An example: good-looking person = intelligent

 Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously  People reduce dissonance (discomfort) by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and actions  Studies show that we can change our beliefs very easily

 Robber’s Cave:  A group of twenty-two 11 year old boys were taken to camp at Robber’s Cave State Park, Oklahoma and formed two rival groups  Both saw the other as members of an “outgroup” or rivals  Eventually made peace  However....the happy ending was only achieved after the experiment was performed three times!

 Stanford Prison Experiment  What makes a person evil? Can a good person commit evil acts? If so, what can make people cross the line?  Students were asked to play role of guards/prisoners  Experiment stopped after only 6 days!

 measured the willingness of people to obey an authority figure even if it hurt someone else  In the original 1963 experiment 65% continued with the experiment to the final massive 450 volt shock  HRy7Y HRy7Y

 People tend to think other’s think exactly like they do and that their opinions views are superior  People project their thinking on to others

 Henry Tajfel experiment  14 and 15 year-old boys, were brought into the lab and shown slides of paintings by two artists  Formed two groups, boys were asked to distribute virtual money and all the boys favoured their own in-group even though they never met!
