Study Notes
Social Psychology
- The study of how an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are affected by the actual, imagined, or symbolically represented presence of other people.
- People are heavily influenced by the thoughts and actions of others.
Social Influence Theory (Kelman)
- This theory focuses on the factors that influence an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the presence of others.
- The theory identifies three main types of social influence: compliance, identification, and internalization.
Compliance
- The influence of a person or group on an individual through the use of rewards or punishments.
- This includes incentives, such as financial rewards or recognition, as well as the use of coercion, such as threats or punishment.
- Example - you are mean to someone you like because the group leader threatens you with exclusion.
Identification
- The influence of a person or group on an individual through the process of identifying with them.
- This occurs when an individual sees themselves as similar to or connected to the person or group, and as a result, adopts their attitudes, values, or behaviors.
- Example - Adopting the same music and fashion tastes as your friendship group.
Internalization
- The influence of a person or group on an individual through the process of accepting their attitudes, values, or behaviors as their own.
- This type of influence occurs when an individual comes to believe that the attitudes, values, or behaviours of the person or group are right or valid.
- Example - If you are strongly influenced by someone you admire and believe they are right about everything.
