PSY 301 Week 1 DQ 1 Social Psychology ASH
Discuss the history of social psychology and describe the critical role this field of study has played in helping us to understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals throughout its evolution. Which key research developments have helped to define social psychology and differentiate it from other fields of study? What theoretical constructs are inherent in social psychology principles?

PSY 301 Week 1 DQ 2 The Acting Self
As Feenstra (2011) states in your textbook: “Social psychologists are interested in who we are. Our sense of self is affected by what we know about the self and by the people around us. The self is a powerful force. The self affects how we feel, what we think we can do, and what we in fact do.” (pg. 32).
Expanding on the quotation above, describe how individuals develop a self-concept and self-schema. Discuss the cultural, social, and environmental influences on that development. In what ways does our sense of self determine how we think about others and how we interact with individuals and groups of people? What is the significance of the acting self? In your response, be sure to address at least three of the key concepts presented in Table 2.2 of the reading.

PSY 301 Week 2 DQ 1 Attitude and Behavior
Reflect on the relationship between personal attitudes and resulting behaviors, using the Theory of Planned Behavior, Cognitive Dissonance Theory, and Self-Perception Theory as your references. If someone has a negative attitude toward a particular individual or group, for example, what are the potential implications of their behavior toward that individual or group? How do implicit and explicit attitudes differ?

PSY 301 Week 2 DQ 2 Attributions
Examine the role of attributions in our social world. What are attributions, and how do we use them in our daily lives? Discuss the differences between internal and external attributions and describe the fundamental attribution error. For example, what would be the explanatory style of a person who makes internal, stable, and global attributions for positive things and external, unstable, and specific attributions for negative things? Also consider the individual who does the opposite; what does this behavior tell us about the person?

PSY 301 Week 3 Assignment Persuasion Who, What, To Whom
o complete the following assignment, go to this week’s Assignment link in the left navigation.
Persuasion: Who, What, To Whom
“As we explore persuasion, we can divide the persuasive communication into three parts: the communicator, the message, and the audience. First, we will deal with what characteristics of persuaders make people more likely to be persuaded. Next, we will think about characteristics of the message that lead people to change. Finally, we will explore what characteristics of the audience can lead them to be persuaded.” (Feenstra, 2011, p. 88).
http://www.homeworkrank.com/psy-301-ash/psy-301-week-3-assignment-persuasion-who,-what,-to-whom
For your assignment this week, provide an in-depth analysis of the three parts of persuasion. Please reference the bullet points below to complete your assignment.
Who – Describe the Characteristics of the Persuader. What influences our ability to become persuaded by someone? What specific characteristics must this person possess? Be sure to address the impact of credibility, physical attractiveness and likeability in your response. Why do we respond well to those possessing such characteristics? Would we respond the same to an unattractive, angry, non-credible person? Why not?
What – Discuss the Characteristics of the Message: What types of attributes are inherent in persuasive messages? How are we influenced by the emotion, framing, messages, narratives and rational appeals in the messaging we receive? What is the significance of the sleeper effect?
PSY 301 Week 3 DQ 1 Persuasion Techniques
able 8.1 in your textbook highlights various techniques used in persuasive messaging, including foot-in-the door, low-ball, door-in-the face, reciprocity, etc. After examining all the techniques, choose three to address in your discussion. For each of the three, describe the processes involved, and explain why such techniques are successful in persuading certain audiences, but are likely to fail with others. In addition, examine the overall resistance to persuasion. Although they may be undesirable, are we more vulnerable to these messages than we think?

PSY 301 Week 3 DQ 2 Obedience and Conformity
By most definitions, if we are persuaded by an individual, we are said to be obedient to that individual. If we are persuaded by a group, we are said to have conformed to that group’s objectives. Compare and contrast the core differences between these two concepts. In what ways do group and individual persuasion techniques differ? As social beings, why are we naturally prone to conformity and obedience?

PSY 301 Week 4 Assignment Power of Love and Relationships
To complete the following assignment, go to this week’s Assignment link in the left navigation.
Power of Love and Relationship
For this assignment, please address each of the items below:
Describe the factors of attraction. What attracts us to one another? Why are we less likely to befriend someone from another culture than someone from a similar background with a similar physical aesthetic? Be sure to identify and describe all (6) factors in attraction.
Discuss the human need to build bonds and relationships. Do we have an innate need to belong? If so, why? How is this need attached to our emotions, our social bonds, and our fear of deprivation?

PSY 301 Week 4 DQ 1 Altruism and Pro social Behavior
Examine the concept of altruism and altruistic behavior. What does it mean for someone to behave altruistically? What is gained from this action, and how does it differ from egoistic behavior? What are some reasons why people would want to help one another, without regard for personal gain or benefit? In addition, explain the bystander effect. If we all have a genuine desire to help one another, why is the effect so common? How can we prevent it from occurring?

PSY 301 Week 4 DQ 2 Aggression
Although we label some behaviors as aggressive, we also neglect a multitude of other actions that qualify as aggressive behaviors. As mentioned in your textbook, what matters is the intent of the action, not necessarily the action itself.

PSY 301 Week 5 DQ 1 Groupthink
Watch the Groupthink video, and explain why the concept of “groupthink” doesn’t necessarily have a positive connotation. Describe what groupthink refers to, and discuss the conditions that must be present in order for this process to occur. What are the characteristics of groupthink, and what are the potential consequences of the group’s decision making process? Your textbook provides a few historical examples of when groupthink led our country in the wrong direction. Can you offer a current example of this – perhaps from the perspective of pop culture?

PSY 301 Week 5 DQ 2 Social Dilemmas
There are three social dilemmas presented in Chapter 15 of your textbook: tragedy of the commons or the commons dilemma, resource dilemma, and prisoner’s dilemma. Choose two of these concepts to discuss, and explain how each is related to social problems in society. How did these problems originate, and what can we do to improve or eliminate them? What recommendations do you have? Please provide a minimum of two recommendations.

PSY 301 Week 5 Final Paper Social Psychology Bringing It All Together
To complete the following assignment, go to this week’s Final Paper link in the left navigation.
Social Psychology: Bringing It All Together
“Social psychologists investigate how we view ourselves and others, how we interact with others, how we influence others, and how we act when we are part of a group. Given the amount of time each of us spend thinking about and interacting with the people we encounter every day, much of our lives are spent with the subject matter of social psychology.” (Feenstra, 2011, p.22).
