Social Psychology
Psychology: Scientific study of behavior and the mind
Gordon Allport (1985) Social Psychology is
“the scientific study of the way in which people’s (individual’s) thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people.”
![Page 29: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Social Psychology
The scientific study of how we think and feel about, influence, and relate to one another.
The importance of the ABCs to social psychology- Affect (feelings)- Behavior (actions)- Cognitions (thoughts)
![Page 30: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Social Psychology
How does social psychology differ from Sociology?
It’s about the individual and psychological processes Other areas of psychology?
Cognitive psychology It’s social
Clinical psychology It’s about normal populations
Personality psychology It’s about people in general (psychological processes that people have in common
with one another)
![Page 31: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Research (and Theory)in Social Psychology
Theory: An integrated set of principles that explain and predict observed
events
Creating hypotheses based on a theory (But can also creating hypotheses based on an observed
phenomenon)
Testable predictions about the relationship between two or more variables
Testing the hypotheses
Theory refinement
![Page 32: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is a Theory?
A theory aims to fill a gap in explaining important phenomena. In basic research, a theory is a system of logical principles that attempts to explain relations among observable phenomena.
![Page 33: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Signs of a Good Theory
• Posits causal relationships• Attempts to be coherent• Tells a good story• Aims for parsimony (simple explanations are
preferable to complex explanations)• Is testable• Proves fertile• Solves problems
Susan Fiske (2004)
![Page 34: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Example
Does exerting willpower/control deplete us?
Theory: People have a common source of controlled resources/willpower from which they draw. Each time we try to control our will, we reduce this pool of resources.
Baumeister et al. (1998)
![Page 35: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How Can We Test a Hypothesis?
Hypothesis:
Do women on a diet have fewer cognitive resources than women not on a diet? Method
Correlational: Observational method* Observe/measure natural associations to assess the relationship
between two or more variables
Experimental: manipulate one factor to see if it affects another factor
![Page 36: PSYC 2120 3.0 Social Psychology Wednesday, January 8 th – April 24 th, 2014 Section M - 11:30-2:30, Vari Hall B Section O – 2:30-5:30, Curtis Lecture Hall](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de45503460f94adaf98/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Correlational Research
Examine whether the occurrence of A is related to the occurrence of B
Theory: Exerting willpower/control will deplete us.
Hypothesis: Women on a diet will have fewer cognitive resources than women not on a diet?
A – diet or notHow observe/measure this?One way - Restrained Eating Scale
B – cognitive resourcesHow observe/measure this?One way – Stroop Task

Measure of Diet?Restrained Eating Scale
1 . How often do you diet? Never Rarely Sometimes Usually Always
2. What is the maximum amount of weight (in pounds) that you have ever lost in one month?
0 4 5-9 10-14 15- 19 2O+
3. Do you have feelings of guilt after overeating? Never Rarely Often Always
4. How conscious are you of what you are eating? Not at all Slightly Moderately Very Much

Correlational Research
Examine whether the occurrence of A is related to the occurrence of B
Example: Does exerting willpower/control deplete us?
Do women on a diet have fewer cognitive resources than women not on a diet?Results – correlation between score on the restrained eating scale and the Stroop task.
What is another way of testing this relationship? Another way of operationalizing willpower and controlled resources?

Experimental Research
Examine whether A causes B
Manipulate independent variable
Observe effect on dependent variable
Basic principles:
Experimental Control
Random Assignment

Experimental ResearchManipulate independent variable to see if it affects the dependent variable
Example: Does exerting willpower/control deplete us?
Independent Variable- 1/3 subjects told not to show emotions during sad movie- 1/3 subjects given no instructions during sad movie- 1/3 not shown a movie and no instructions
Dependent Variable- Holding your hand in cold water for as long as possible

Types of Validity
Issues related to validity are related to whether a relationship exists between 2 variables.
Internal Validity whether changes in the independent variable cause changes in the
dependent variable External Validity
whether the results generalize to other labs, participants, settings (e.g., in the field)
Mundane versus psychological realism Construct Validity
whether the manipulation related to the independent variable and the measurement of the dependent variable are good representations of the theoretical constructs intended
