1.8: Social support Flashcards
Jasper likes to wear his hat, but when getting on the bus home he noticed everyone else wearing a hat took theirs off, so he did, too. The next day he was wearing his hat again and again all the other hat wearers took theirs off when getting on the bus, all except one boy in front of him, so Jasper kept his hat on, too.
With reference to the passage above, use resistance to social influence to explain why Jasper took his hat off on the first day, but kept it on the following day (4 marks)
On the first day the hat-wearers on the bus showed unanimity (agreement) in taking off their hats, thus creating a strong social influence for Jasper to do so, too

On the first day the hat-wearers on the bus showed unanimity (agreement) in taking off their hats, thus creating a strong social influence for Jasper to do so, too.
On the following day, however, what?
On the following day, however, when one hat-wearer showed dissent in not taking off his hat, this lowered the unanimity of the group, giving social support to Jasper to not conform and also keep his hat on
Research into locus of control and resistance to social support often involve correlational studies.
Give one strength and one weakness of the correlational study method (4 marks)
One strength of the correlational study method is that no manipulation of variables is required
