Many aspects of a person’s behavior in group settings are affected by blank
deindividuation(a social psychological concept that describes the loss of self-awareness and identity that can occur when people are in a group or crowd)
Diffusion of Responsibility
-Leads to social blank
* Members of a group do less work in individually than they would as individuals working alone
* Tug of war, group projects
loafing
Also leads to blank apathy
* People stand and watch rather than take action
bystander
Conformity
* A tendency of people to go along with the group
- Peer pressure among teenagers

normative/informational
Symptoms of blank include
- Illusion of invincibility(the quality of being too powerful to be defeated or overcome)
- Pressure on dissenters to conform
- Self-censorship
- Illusion of unanimity(agreement by all people involved; consensus)
groupthink
An blank is a relatively stable opinion based on both a cognition and an emotion
Blank-you are aware of them
Blank-you act on them without awareness
Blank-perception theory argues that we also infer our attitudes based on internal observation of our own behavior
attitude/Explicit/Implicit/self
*Blank is an implicit or explicit attitude driven by negative feeling about individuals based on group membership
*This is the foundation of blank, negative beliefs about individuals based solely on group membership
*Stereotyping / prejudice can lead to blank, negative behavior toward individuals based on their group membership
*These can create a dangerous blank-fulfilling prophecy
Prejudice/Stereotypes/discrimination/self
Blank is an effort to change an attitude
-Blank- an effort to persuade based primarily on the merits of an argument
-Blank- an effort to persuade based by using methods other than direct argument
One significant challenge is that even direct attempts to change core beliefs can actually make them blank
-May be an artifact of blank dissonance
Persuasion/Direct/Peripheral/stronger/cognitive
*Hitler’s Big Lie
Blank effect- more likely to believe something often repeated
Validity
*Blank exposure effect suggests increased liking based on perceptual fluency
