Study Notes
Social Psychology Overview
- Attribution theory explains how people attribute the cause of experiences and behaviors to internal or external factors.
- Self-serving bias and fundamental attribution error affect how individuals perceive and attribute the causes of actions.
- Individualistic societies tend to overlook situational factors in favor of internal factors, while collectivistic societies are more sensitive to situational factors.
- Stereotypes are learned and perpetuated from one's environment and can lead to prejudice and discrimination.
- Social categorization simplifies the environment but can lead to in-group favoritism and out-group derogation.
- Racism can manifest as overt or symbolic racism, with the latter being indirect forms of discrimination.
- The Robber's Cave Study demonstrated the impact of competition and contact hypothesis on reducing stereotypes.
- Social identity theory explains in-group favoritism and out-group derogation.
- Attitudes can be explicit or implicit, and persuasion can occur through central or peripheral routes.
- Cognitive dissonance theory explains the conflict between actions and attitudes, leading to post-decision dissonance.
- Social influence and social norms shape behaviors and preferences, leading to conformity and obedience.
- Informational social influence leads individuals to conform based on the desire to behave correctly or gain an understanding of the world.
Freudian Theory and Neo-Freudian Theories of Personality
- Freud's theory includes three levels of awareness: conscious mind, preconscious mind, and unconscious mind
- The conscious mind is what a person is presently aware of, while the preconscious mind contains memories that can be accessed and the unconscious mind contains repressed thoughts and motivations
- The id, ego, and superego are the three parts of personality, with the id representing immediate gratification, the ego representing reality, and the superego representing morality
- Unhealthy personalities develop when there is an imbalance between the id, ego, and superego
- Freud's psychosocial stages of personality development include erogenous zones and the concept of fixation
- The anal-retentive and anal-expulsive personalities develop during toilet training based on the child's reaction to the training
- Conflicts during the phallic stage include the Oedipus and Electra conflicts
- Neo-Freudian theories include Carl Jung's collective unconscious and archetypes, Alfred Adler's "striving for superiority," and Karen Horney's focus on the need for security
- Adler's "striving for superiority" refers to overcoming feelings of inferiority, while Horney's work emphasizes the need for security in childhood
- Horney identified three neurotic personality patterns: moving toward people, moving against people, and moving away from people
- Humanistic theories emphasize conscious free will and personal growth, developed in the 1960s by Maslow
- Maslow studied the lives of healthy and creative individuals to form his humanistic approach
