Study Notes
Social Psychology Concepts and Cultural Differences
- The study conducted by Higgins, Rholes & Jones in 1977 involved memorizing positive and negative words to examine priming effects.
- The self-fulfilling prophecy, as demonstrated by Rosenthal & Jacobson in 1968, shows how people's expectations of others can influence their behavior and cause them to act consistently with those expectations.
- Masuda & Nisbett's 2006 experiment highlighted cultural differences in schemas, with Western cultures associated with analytic thinking and Eastern cultures with holistic thinking.
- Social perception involves forming impressions and inferences about others, aiding in understanding and predicting the social world.
- Nonverbal communication includes cues such as facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, body language, touch, and gaze, serving various functions in communication.
- Six major emotional expressions are universally recognized, while other emotions show less universality across cultures and are closely tied to social interaction.
- Decoding facial expressions can be complicated due to affect blends, masking of emotions, and cultural influences.
- Cultural differences in nonverbal communication are evident in display rules, negative facial expressions, gaze, and personal space preferences.
- Attribution theory addresses how people infer the causes of others' behavior, distinguishing between internal (dispositional) and external (situational) attributions.
- Self-serving attributions credit internal factors for successes and blame external factors for failures, while defensive attributions help avoid feelings of vulnerability or mortality.
- Cultural differences in attributions show that individualistic cultures prefer dispositional attributions and self-serving attributions, while collectivistic cultures prefer situational explanations and are more prone to the "belief in a just world."
- Cultural differences in defining the self include independent and interdependent views, with variations within cultures and differences in self-concept.
