There are many methods psychologists use to research their hypothesis or explore research questions. In social psychology in particular, common methods include observational, survey, or experimental/quasi-experimental, among others. For this discussion, identify a social psychology question or hypothesis that is of interest to you (for example, why do people tend to buy a product more if they see an attractive or famous person advertising it) and briefly describe how you might go about researching that topic using one of the research methods described in your readings this week. Why do you think that method is a good fit for your question/topic? Are there any methods that wouldn't work well? Why/why not? How does this method in particular relate to social psychology research as compared to research in other fields?

Who Do We Help?

Required Resources

Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Lesson 8

Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside scholarly source)

Initial Post Instructions

Consider our exploration of factors that lead us to help, as well as those that direct us to helping certain people over others that we discussed this past week. To prepare for this discussion, find a spot in a public place that has lots of people. For example, a bench at a park, the food court at your local mall, etc. Make sure you select somewhere busy where you are likely to see numerous encounters among strangers. Now, for 30-60 minutes, observe carefully the interactions you see around you, making note of any helping/positive behaviors (holding the door open for someone, letting someone go ahead in line, helping someone pick up something they dropped, waving or smiling in greeting, etc.). When you see someone engaging in helping behavior, note as many details as you can about all of those involved in the exchange. Age, race, attractiveness, clothing, type of help, nature of the exchange, etc. Take some time to reflect on patterns you noted in your observations.

Now, respond to the following in your discussion:

What patterns did you find, if any, in your observations?

Did they fit with the theory and research we discussed this week?

If so, how so? If not, why not?

Remember to be specific when making connections between your observations and relevant theory and research.

Textbook: Chapter 3

Lesson

Minimum of 3 scholarly sources (in addition to the textbook)

This week we explored the topics of self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Take some time to reflect on your own self-concept. Who are you? How do you define yourself? How do you feel about your abilities to be successful and accomplish your goals? What image of yourself do you currently, or do you wish to moving forward present to the world. Keep that introspective reflection in mind as you move through this assignment, considering how your own understanding of these ideas has evolved over the years to your present level of development.

Now, pretend that you have been asked to speak to a group of middle school students on the topic of bullying as it relates to self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

Keeping in mind your audience of 12-14 year olds, define self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation.

Analyze and explain the possible causes of bullying in the context of these three concepts.

Analyze and explain the impact of bullying (on the victim and aggressor) of these three concepts.

Provide specific actions or behaviors kids in your audience can use to stop or respond positively when they see bullying, are bullied, or are tempted to bully.

Use speaker's notes to expand upon the bullet point main ideas on your slides, making references to research and theory with citation.

Proof your work

Textbook: Chapter 5

Lesson

Minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to your textbook and lesson

Stereotypes, unfortunately, are a common side-effect of societal perception of other individuals and groups. No matter who you are, stereotypes and prejudices influence our thoughts and perceptions even if they are unconscious.

Select a group from any culture, country, or society.

Describe how stereotypes or prejudices against that group might influence a health care practitioner during treatment. You can select a historical group (for example: plague victims, AIDS patients from the early 1980s) or more recent (immigrants in detention centers, anti-vaxxers, or patients with race specific illnesses such as sickle cell anemia or Tay-Sachs syndrome).

Describe common stereotypes of the group you selected. Dissect those stereotypes as to the potential impact they might have on treatment options or decisions or care.

Analyze how specific theories we learned about (i.e. ingroups vs outgroups, implicit racism, outgroup homogeneity effect, realistic conflict theory, social identity theory, attribution theory, etc.) influence stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination in the context of this scenario.  You don’t need to discuss all of these theories; just pick one or two for your analysis.
