Get out your notes! We have quite a bit to cover today

2. Altruism, Conflict, and Peacemaking

3. altruism
Unselfish regard for the welfare of others

4. Bystander Effect
Tendency for any given bystander to be less likely to give aid if other bystanders are present
We only help others if the situation enables us:
to notice the incident
Interpret it as an emergency
Assume responsibility for helping

7. Norms for helping
-Social Exchange Theory: social behavior is an exchange process, the aim of which is to maximize benefits and minimize costs (reward exceeds cost)
-Reciprocity Norm- expectation that will help, not hurt, those who have helped them (scratch mine, I’ll scratch yours)
-Social Responsibility Norm- expectation that people will help those needing their help

8. Extra credit opportunity

9. Extra credit opportunity
Here you have the opportunity to earn some extra credit on your Unit 14 Test
-Select whether you want 1 point or 5 points added onto your test grade.
But there's a small catch: if more than 10% of the class selects 5 points, then no one gets any points. Your responses will be anonymous to the rest of the class, only I will see the responses.

10. Conflict
Perceived incompatibility of actions, goals, or ideas

11. Social Traps
-when conflicting parties, by each rationally pursuing their self interest rather than the good of the group, become caught in mutually destructive behavior

12. Enemy perceptions
Mirror-image perceptions- mutual views often held by conflicting people, as when each side sees itself as ethical and peaceful, while the other side is evil and aggressive
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy- a belief that leads to its own fulfillment

13. Promote Peace and Cooperation
Contact helps!: being around the other groups is good 
Superordinate goals- shared goals that override differences among people and require their cooperation: work together (WWII/Soviet Union)
Communication use a mediator
Concilation: move closer together to find even ground
