Study Notes
Social Psychology Unit 1
- Role Internalization: Zimbardo's research on role internalization demonstrates how individuals adopt the roles they are assigned.
- Conflict Development: Sherif's research highlights how conflict can emerge between groups.
- Obedience to Authority: Milgram's studies on obedience explored the extent to which people follow orders from authority figures, even when those orders conflict with personal values.
- Bystander Effect: Latane and Darley's research on the bystander effect details how the presence of others can influence whether people intervene in emergencies.
- Conformity: Asch's research on conformity demonstrates the pressure to conform to group norms, even when those norms conflict with personal beliefs.
Social Cognition
- Social Thinking and Social Behavior: Fritz Heider's research demonstrates the link between social thinking and social behavior, suggesting that we attribute behavior to either stable internal traits or situational factors.
- Attribution Theory: The process of attributing behavior to traits or situations is known as attribution theory.
- Fundamental Attribution Error: A common error in attribution is the fundamental attribution error, which is a tendency to overemphasize internal factors to explain others' behavior, rather than considering situational factors.
- Self-Serving Bias: Self-serving bias is the tendency to attribute successes to internal factors and attribute failures to external factors.
Interpersonal Attraction
- Physical Attraction: Physical attraction plays a role in interpersonal attraction.
- Similarity Principle: Individuals tend to be attracted to those who are similar to them.
Social Facilitation and Loafing
- Social Facilitation: Social facilitation describes the tendency for people to perform better on tasks when they are in the presence of others.
- Social Loafing: Social loafing is when people exert less effort when working in a group than when working alone.
Stanford Prison Experiment
- Role Internalization: The Stanford Prison Experiment investigated the role of internalization and its effects on behavior.
- The Experiment: Participants were assigned to roles as prisoners or guards in a simulated prison environment.
- Results: The experiment revealed how easily individuals internalize assigned roles, highlighting a concerning potential for the abusive behavior to occur from participants in the guard roles.
The Milgram Experiment
- Obedience to Authority: The Milgram experiment aimed to discover the levels of obedience to authority and how far subjects would go in complying with the orders of an authoritative figure.
- Experiment Methodology: The experiment involved participants delivering electric shocks to another person (a confederate).
- Results: The results showed that a significant percentage of participants were willing to administer potentially harmful shocks based on authority figures' instructions.
The Asch Conformity Experiment
- Conformity to Majority: Asch's experiment investigated conformity to group norms, emphasizing situations of the conflicting desires to fit in and maintain an individual's beliefs.
- Experiment Methodology: Participants were placed in a room with several confederates (actors) who intentionally gave incorrect answers to a simple line judgment task.
- Results: The results revealed a considerable degree of conformity to the group's incorrect responses.
Realistic Conflict Theory and Robber's Cave Experiments
- Conflict Development: Realistic conflict theory proposes that conflict emerges between groups when resources are scarce.
- Robber's Cave Experiment: Sherif's Robber's Cave experiment investigated how conflict developed between two groups of boys at a summer camp and how to resolve it through superordinate goals.
Bystander Effect, Kitty Genovese, and Other related Effects
- Bystander Effect: The bystander effect details how the presence of others can influence whether people intervene in emergencies.
- The Experiments related to this effect: Kitty Genovese, Latane & Darley's smoke experiment, and Latane & Darley's seizure experiment explored the situation and investigated this effect.
- Bystander Apathy: These experiments revealed bystander apathy, a phenomenon where the presence of others diminishes the likelihood of an individual intervening in a crisis due to diffusion of responsibility.
