Social Flashcards
(47 cards)
Social facilitation (improved performance) is more likely to occur in
a) learning how to solve a new puzzle under timed pressure
b) parallel parking when the person learned to drive in a city
b - social facilitation is more likely than social inhibition for easy and well-learned tasks
4 levels of acculturation that are determined by a person's acceptance or rejection of their own minority culture: 1) integrated 2) 3) separated 4)
1) integrated
2) assimilated
3) separated
4) marginalized - rejects both cultures
Strength, accessibility, and specificity of attitudes determines:
the strength of the connection between a person’s attitudes and behaviors
Realistic conflict theory (sherif)
prejudice and discrimination are the result of direct competition between groups for scarce and valued resources (as evidenced by the Robbers Cave Stud)y
Is the primacy effect ( tendency to remember or be persuaded most by information that’s presented first) more likely to occur/be more powerful when 2 stimuli are presented spaced apart or back to back?
Back to back, and then attitudes are measured later
when members of a group exert less effort when working on a task than they would have exerted when working alone.
Social loafing
when a person conforms to the judgments of others to avoid their ridicule or rejection, and it helps explain conformity in unambiguous situations
normative influence
In a close relationship, unexpected behavior that interrupts normal routines causes what according to emotion-in-relationships model?
Strong emotions (can be positive or negative)
According to Kelly’s covariation model, what are the 3 factors that influence attribution?
Consensus, Consistency, Distinctiveness
Consensus (would others do the same thing?); Consistency (Does the person usually act this way in this type of situation?); Distinctiveness (Does the person usually act differently in other types of situations?)
superstitious behaviors may result from what errors in automatic thinking
illusory control - people believe they can influence events that are outside their control
illusory correlation - overestimate the relatinoship between 2 events or things bc they occur close together
when we make judgments about the frequency or likelihood of an event, we ignore base rates and other important information and focus, instead, on the extent to which the event resembles a prototype (typical case).
representativeness heuristic
actor-observer effect
attribute others behavior to dispositional factors
We are likely to attribute others’ behaviors to external factors when what 3 things are high
consensus
consistincy
distinctiveness
Relationship between attitude and behavior is predicted by
Strength
Accessibility
Specificity of behavior
SAS
Intention to perform a behavior is predicted by (theory of reasoned action)
attitude about behavior
subjective norms (what others think you should do)
perceived behavioral control (confidence)
ASP
According tot he prototype/willingess model, what are the 2 paths to engaging in a behavior
reasoned path (intention) social reaction path (willingness in particular circumstances, which is determined by the person’s prototype (social image) of people who engage in the behavior)
People are more likely to wear masks when all their popular friends are wearing masks. What model might best explain this
Prototype willingness model: When the prototype is positive, a person is more willing to engage in the behavior in social situations that are conducive to that behavior
when the message is personally relevant and person is a neutral/bad mood, is central route or peripheral route better
central route- likely to be a better predictor of attitude change and behavior versus central route
Social judgment theory is based on the assumption that the effectiveness of a persuasive message depends on a person’s current position on an issue, and it distinguishes between three “latitudes” that represent different degrees of similarity between the person’s position and the position advocated by the message:
- acceptance
- rejection
- non-commitment (consists of positions the person will not automatically accept or reject but will consider because they’re moderately different from his/her position)
as ego goes up, so does rejection
when people are externally reinforced for engaging in an intrinsically rewarding behavior, their intrinsic motivation decreases
overjustification effect
Greatest amount of attitude change occurs when there is ____ discrepancy between current position and message position
moderate (when the message is from a low-credibility source; however if the source his highly-credible, max attitude change will occur when there is the greatest discrepancy)
If attitudes are assessed RIGHT after the presentation of 2 messages, which message will have the greatest impact
The second (if the presentation of messages 1 and 2 were spaced a little and then attitudes were checked right after message 2)
If attitudes are assessed awhile after the presentation of 2 messages, which message will have the greatest impact
The first 1
When self-esteem is ____ and intelligence is ____ , you are more persuadable
self-esteem = moderate intelligence = low
