1.4: Conformity to social roles and Philip Zimbardo (1973) Flashcards
Social roles
Social roles are the parts individuals play as members of a social group that meet the expectations of that situation
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will what from situation to situation?
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation.
Example
For example, joining the back of a queue when arriving at the till in a shop
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation.
For example, joining the back of a queue when arriving at the till in a shop.
Individuals learn how to behave by doing what?
Individuals learn how to behave by:
- Looking at the social roles other people play in such situations
- Then conforming to them
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation.
For example, joining the back of a queue when arriving at the till in a shop.
Individuals learn how to behave by looking at the social roles other people play in such situations and then conforming to them.
These learned social roles become like what?
These learned social roles become like internal mental scripts
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation.
For example, joining the back of a queue when arriving at the till in a shop.
Individuals learn how to behave by looking at the social roles other people play in such situations and then conforming to them.
These learned social roles become like internal mental scripts, allowing individuals to do what in different settings?
These learned social roles become like internal mental scripts, allowing individuals to behave appropriately in different settings
Each social situation has its own social norms, expected ways for individuals to behave, which will vary from situation to situation.
For example, joining the back of a queue when arriving at the till in a shop.
Individuals learn how to behave by looking at the social roles other people play in such situations and then conforming to them.

Conformity to social roles therefore involves what?
Conformity to social roles therefore involves identification

Conformity to social roles therefore involves identification, which is stronger than compliance, involving both what of the behaviour and attitudes exhibited?
Conformity to social roles therefore involves identification, which is stronger than compliance, involving both:
1. Public
2. Private
acceptance of the behaviour and attitudes exhibited
Conformity to social roles therefore involves identification, which is stronger than compliance, involving both public and private acceptance of the behaviour and attitudes exhibited.
Conformity to social roles isn’t as strong as internalisation though, because individuals do what and only conform to what when?
Conformity to social roles isn’t as strong as internalisation though, because individuals:
- Adopt different roles for different social situations
- Only conform to particular roles whilst in those particular social situations
Conformity to social roles therefore involves identification, which is stronger than compliance, involving both public and private acceptance of the behaviour and attitudes exhibited.
Conformity to social roles isn’t as strong as internalisation though, because individuals adopt different roles for different social situations and only conform to particular roles whilst in those particular social situations.
With each social role adopted, behaviour does what?
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes

Conformity to social roles isn’t as strong as internalisation though, because individuals adopt different roles for different social situations and only conform to particular roles whilst in those particular social situations.
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to do what?
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to fit the social norms of that situation
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to fit the social norms of that situation, so as an individual moves to another social situation, what will happen?
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to fit the social norms of that situation, so as an individual moves to another social situation, their behaviour will change to suit the new social norms
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to fit the social norms of that situation, so as an individual moves to another social situation, their behaviour will change to suit the new social norms, played out through a different what?

Conformity to social roles is therefore a useful way of doing what?
Conformity to social roles is therefore a useful way of:
1. Understanding
2. Predicting
social behaviour
With each social role adopted, behaviour changes to fit the social norms of that situation, so as an individual moves to another social situation, their behaviour will change to suit the new social norms, played out through a different social role.
Conformity to social roles is therefore a useful way of understanding and predicting social behaviour, which brings a reassuring sense of what to what?
Conformity to social roles is therefore a useful way of:
1. Understanding
2. Predicting
social behaviour
,which brings a reassuring sense of order to our social interactions

2. The basement of the psychology department at Stanford University was converted into a mock prison and the experience was made as realistic as possible, with the prisoners being arrested by the real local police and then fingerprinted, stripped and deloused.
Dehumanisation, the removal of human identity, was increased by prisoners wearing numbered smocks, nylon stocking caps (to simulate shaved heads) and a chain around one ankle.
Guards wore khaki uniforms and reflective sunglasses (to prevent eye-contact) and were issued with handcuffs, keys and truncheons (although physical punishment was not permitted).
3. 9 prisoners were placed 3 to a cell and a regular routine of shifts, meal times, ect, was established, as well as what?
9 prisoners were placed 3 to a cell and a regular routine of shifts, meal times, ect, was established, as well as:
- Visiting times
- A parole and disciplinary board
- A prison chaplain
Philip Zimbardo’s study of prisoners and guards in a simulated prison (1973):
The method and procedure of Zimbardo’s prison simulation study was that:
1. 75 male university students responded to a newspaper advertisement asking for volunteers for a study of prison life paying $15 a day.
21 students rated as the most physically and mentally stable, mature and free from anti-social and criminal tendencies were used, 10 as guards and 11 as prisoners.
Selection as to who would be guards and who would be prisoners was on a random basis.
All participants initially expressed a desire to be prisoners.
Zimbardo himself played the role of the prison superintendent.
