Peoples Perceptions of the World Have an Enormous Influence on How They Think, Feel and Act.
In Many Cases People Make Decisions That Do Not Solely Depend on the Facts.

Social Cognition.
The mental process associated with how we perceive and react to individuals and groupsHow we construct a perspective of the world.

Some of the Social Influences on Us
![Page 6: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Social Comparisons
![Page 7: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
People Spend a Lot of Time Evaluating Themselves.
These evaluations are influenced by other people and they affect our public behavior
Leon Festinger noted that self-evaluation involves two types of questions: Those that can be answered objectively and those that cannot.
![Page 8: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In Subjective Situation We Use Social Comparisons to Get Answers.
Using social criteria to answer a questionUseing people like ourselves to answer questions.
These people are called reference groups.The performance of these types of people influences your self-esteem.
![Page 9: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To Prevent This We Sometimes Compare Ourselves to People Who We
Feel Do Not Have It So Good.Downward social comparison.This makes us feel better.If we run across people more superior to us we rationalize by overexagerating their ability.
![Page 10: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When We Compare Ourselves to People Who Are Superior to Us We Experience the Relative Deprivation
Theory Influence.This lowers our self esteem and leaves us dissatisfied.
![Page 11: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Social Identity Theory
![Page 12: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social identity
Our feelings about the groups in which we belong.Part of our self concept.People sacrifice their lives for the sake of their social identity.It is why we donate to those in need or display helping behaviors.
![Page 13: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A strong social identity could lead to problems
It fosters an us vs. them mentality which may lead to prejudice and discriminationSocial identities lead to social schemas 1. a mental representation themselves.
![Page 14: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This Shapes How People Think About Themselves.
It can lead to vulnerability to certain psychological disorders such as anxiety disorders and depression.
![Page 15: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Patricia Linville States That Some People Have Unified Self-schemas
They have the same characteristics in all settings.Others have differentiated self-schemas.Unified self-schema people will have a strong emotional reaction to failing an exam – why?Differentiated people may think of themselves less as students but it will not effect their other social roles.
![Page 16: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Social Perception
![Page 17: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This is the process in which people:
Interpret information about others.Form impressions about them.Draw conclusions about the reasons for their behavior
![Page 18: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Our schemas affect our social perception
Schemas mental representations about people.Characteristics or events that are consistent about our schemas of another person get more attention.We tend to process information about a person more quickly if it confirms our beliefs.
![Page 19: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Impression Formation
The process of combining information about people into an overall judgment. 1. it’s like developing a theory of a person and using it as a guideline.For example: Big men are scarier to encounter at night then little women.
![Page 20: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Schemas also influence what we remember about others.
For example, blue collar workers are more likely to drink beer and watch television.Schemas affect our judgment, cause errors in judgment and impact first impressions
![Page 21: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How do people form impressions of other people and why are they so
reticent to change.Our mental schemas cause us to form impressions. (it’s combining information about people into an overall judgment)For example most people we meet hold attitudes and values similar to our own.Therefore we initially like people.
![Page 22: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Wwe dislike people we first meet who do things which we interpret as negative. .
![Page 23: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
we often do things to confirm our first impressions.
For example, teacher expectations of students to do poorly are usually sensed by the student and they make less of an effort and do more poorly.
![Page 24: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When Schemas Cause People to Act in Line With Our Expectations This Becomes a Self-fulfilling Prophecy.
Acting in accordance with our beliefs to make our beliefs happen.
![Page 25: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
People also form implicit theories about other people’s behavior.
This is referred to as attributionPeople tend to attribute behavior in a particular situation to either:Internal causes – characteristics of the person themselves orExternal causes – situations which cause the behavior.
![Page 26: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Harold Kelly developed an attribution theory
It states that you can determine whether a person's behavior is internally or externally motivated by looking at three variables:ConsensusConsistencydistinctiveness
![Page 27: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Consensus Is the Degree to Which Other Peoples Behavior Is similar.
Consistency is the degree to which the behavior is the same across time or situations. Distinctiveness concerns the extent to which similar stimuli elicit the same behavior
![Page 28: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Kelly states that behavior is internally attributed when:
Consensus is lowConsistency is highDistinctiveness is low
![Page 29: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Behavior is externally attributed when:
Consensus is highConsistency is lowDistinctiveness is high
![Page 30: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
For Example, If You Observe Your Boss Insulting Customers, a Situation of Low consensus (Most People in Business Are Polite), High Consistency (No Matter Who the Customers Are) and Low Distinctiveness (not the same in similar circumstances all the time), You Would Attribute Your Bosses Behavior to Internal Attribution.
![Page 31: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Most People Are Prone to Attribution Biases.
Fundamental attribution error.The tendency to over-attribute the behavior of others to internal factors. 1. not taking the power of the situation into account.
![Page 32: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A Related Form of Cognitive Bias is The Ultimate Attribution Error.
When positive behaviors by members of an out group are both attributed to external situational factors. (rather then crediting the person)Because of this, out group members receive little credit for their positive actions and members of in-groups little blame for their negative actions.What is the consequence of this?
![Page 33: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
It Helps Maintain Stereotypical Views of Certain Groups.
These are social beliefs learned form othersIt effects how we think about peopleThey are shortcuts to thinking
![Page 34: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The physical attractiveness stereotype
The tendency to perceive physical attractive people as:More dominantMore sociableMore sexually attractiveMore intelligentMore socially skilled
![Page 35: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When People Explore Their Own Behavior They Use The Actor Observer
Bias.
They attribute their own behavior to external causes, especially when their behavior is inappropriate. a. Although they attribute other people's behavior to internal causes.
![Page 36: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
People Also Have a Self-serving Bias.
This is taking credit for success and blaming failure on external causes.This protects their self-esteem.
![Page 37: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ATTITUDES
![Page 38: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Attitudes Are positive or Negative Evaluations Towards People, Things
Events or Issues.They influence peoples views.Attitudes have three components
![Page 39: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ideally These Three Components Act in Harmony.
Whether these components are consistent is determined by several factors:
1. Whether the cognitive and emotional components are in agreement.
2. Whether the behavior is in line with our subjective view I.E. We behave the way we think people want us to behave.
![Page 40: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
When our personal views are in conflict with prevailing attitudes
behavior could be effected.ExampleYou believe In gay rights but will not campaign for them because it will upset your family
![Page 41: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Formation of New Attitudes Is Influenced Mainly by Learning
Principles.We also fall prey to something called the mere
exposure effect.Attitudes towards things become more positive the more frequently we are exposed to it.
![Page 42: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Attitudes can be formed through conditioning
Operant – Being praised when learning t dance will result in a positive towards dancingClassical – developing prejudicial attitudes towards a group because you heard your parents maligning them
![Page 43: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How Do We Change Attitudes?
When we are persuaded by three things: The characteristics of the person communicating the message The content of the message The audience receiving it.
![Page 44: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
One Explanation is the Elaboration of Likelihood Model.
Persuasive messages can change people's attitudes through one of two main routes.
1. The peripheral route 2. The central route
![Page 45: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Peripheral Route
Little attention is paid to the actual content of the persuasive message.Confidence, attractiveness or some other characteristic of the person delivering the message influences the person.For example, using a movie star to sell you something.
![Page 46: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Central Route
This is when the message is more important then the characteristics of the communicator.
![Page 47: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
There Are Other Characteristics Involved in Attitudinal Change Such As:
How busy you are at the time you are being persuaded.Your personality characteristics.
![Page 48: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Cognitive Dissonance Theory
Developed by Leon Festinger People want their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes to be consistent with one another and with their behavior.
![Page 49: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Inconsistency or dissonance among these elements causes anxiety
Example; smokers who believe it is harmful must decide its not or quit.
![Page 50: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
When People Engage in Behaviors That Are Contrary to Their Private Held Attitudes, They Are Likely to Change Their Attitudes to Be Consistent With Their Public Behavior.
![Page 51: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
One of the Recent Challenges to Cognitive Dissonance Theory Is Self
Perception Theory.It’s founder Daryl Bem states that situations often arise in which people are not quite sure about their attitudes.People look at their own behavior in the particular circumstance and then infer what their attitude must be.
![Page 52: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Self Perception Theory Seems to Apply Best When People Have No Prior
attitude or Have an Attitude That Is Weak or Ill Defined.
For instance, towards a food they have never tasted.When attitudes are strongly defined and when internal consistency is important to ones self-esteem, dissonance theory seems to hold true.
![Page 53: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Prejudice
![Page 54: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Stereotyping Leads to Prejudice.
This is the an attitude towards specific members of a group suggesting they deserve an inferior social standing.Prejudice, like other attitudes has cognitive, behavioral and affective components.
![Page 55: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Prejudice Is More Likely Among People Who Have a Personality Trait Called
Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism has three elements:An acceptance of conventional or traditional values.An inclination to act aggressively towards those identified by authority figures as threatening the values held buy ones in-group.A willingness to follow the orders of authority figures.
![Page 56: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
A More Recent Motivational Explanation of Prejudice Invokes the Concept of
Social IdentityMost people are motivated to identify with their in-group and tend to see it as better then other groups.See members of an out-group as less attractive and less socially accepted.
![Page 57: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
There Are Also Cognitive Theories on Stereotyping and Prejudice Which State That People Use Schemas and Other Cognitive Shortcuts to Organize and
Make Sense Out of Their Social World.Draw conclusions about other people but sometimes they are inaccurate.
![Page 58: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Learning Theories on Prejudice Say That Our Attitudes Towards Other Groups Are Learned by the Words and Deeds of Our Parents and Our Peers.
![Page 59: Social Psychology. Social Psychology is the scientific study of how peoples thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others.. It studies how](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfb81a28abf838c9f535/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Realistic group conflict theory
When two groups compete for scarce resources a breeding ground for prejudice develops.Hostility increases towards the opposing out-groupIn-group loyalty intensifies This is called ethnocentrism
