Social Interactions

Think about your interactions with friends, family members, or even perfect strangers.

1. Pick one of the following concepts from the chapter and provide a definition/description in your own words: bystander effect, conformity, cognitive dissonance, fundamental attribution error, self-fulfilling prophecy, stereotypes
2. Think of an everyday example you’ve observed of someone behaving in a way that corresponded with the concept you chose. Describe the behavior and explain how it corresponded with the concept you chose.
3. Describe your reactions to the other person’s behavior. Do you think your reaction to their behavior might be different in the future based upon what you learned in this chapter? If so, how would it be different? If not, why not?

    Your initial response should be at least 150-250 words. Be sure that you REFER to concepts in the book/readings in your discussion postings to support your ideas, opinions, and thoughts. A good way to do this by explicitly referring to specific pages, paraphrasing the relevant information, and including a citation, such as: 

• As discussed on page 449 …. (Charlton, Sobel, & Sobel, 2018).
• On pages 451-452 of the text, Charlton, Sobel, and Sobel (2018) indicate that…

Be sure to paraphrase the relevant information; NO QUOTES allowed. And be sure to include a proper APA-style reference for all citations at the bottom of your post.  See the in-text citations in APA style website and the  APA-style Reference(s) list website for additional information. (Citations and references do not count toward the word count).
