Similarity
• Paula Abdul was wrong- opposites do NOT attract.
• Birds of the same feather do flock together.
• Similarity breeds content.

participants conformed.• 70% conformed at least
once.To strengthen conformity:• The group is unanimous
• The group is at least three people.
• One admires the group’s status• One had made no prior
commitment

What did we learn from Asch &
![Page 18: Social Psychology - Wikispaces Social_Psychology... · Social Psychology The study of how we think ... • One admires the group’s status • One had made no prior ... Groupthink](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b473d837f8b9af54b8c0fa9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What did we learn from Milgram?
• Ordinary people can do shocking things.
• Ethical issues….• Would not have
received approval from today’s IRB (Internal Review Board).
Derren Brown’s take on Milgram

Group Influence on Behavior
Lets look at how groups effect our behavior.
![Page 20: Social Psychology - Wikispaces Social_Psychology... · Social Psychology The study of how we think ... • One admires the group’s status • One had made no prior ... Groupthink](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b473d837f8b9af54b8c0fa9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Group Polarization - SIT• Groups tend to make
more extreme decisions than the individual.
![Page 21: Social Psychology - Wikispaces Social_Psychology... · Social Psychology The study of how we think ... • One admires the group’s status • One had made no prior ... Groupthink](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b473d837f8b9af54b8c0fa9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Groupthink
• Group members suppress their reservations about the ideas supported by the group.
• Group harmony overrides common sense.
• Worse in highly cohesive groups.
![Page 23: Social Psychology - Wikispaces Social_Psychology... · Social Psychology The study of how we think ... • One admires the group’s status • One had made no prior ... Groupthink](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b473d837f8b9af54b8c0fa9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
We also influence ourselves
The Power of the Individual can be stronger than a group.

Deindividuation• People get swept up
in a group and lose sense of self.
• Feel anonymous and aroused.
• Explains rioting behaviors.

Zimbardo’s Prison Study• Showed how we
deindividuate AND become the roles we are given.
• Philip Zimbardo has students at Stanford U play the roles of prisoner and prison guards in the basement of psychology building.
• They were given uniforms and numbers for each prisoner.
• What do you think happened?
• The experiment has also been used to illustrate cognitive dissonance theory and the power of authority.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
• Occurs when one person’s belief about others leads one to act in ways that induce the others to appear to confirm the belief.If you think someone finds you attractive, they more likely will!!!

Cognitive Dissonance Theory
• We do not like when we have either conflicting attitudes or when our attitudes do not match our actions.
•When they clash, we will change our attitude to create balance.
![Page 29: Social Psychology - Wikispaces Social_Psychology... · Social Psychology The study of how we think ... • One admires the group’s status • One had made no prior ... Groupthink](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022601/5b473d837f8b9af54b8c0fa9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Attitude and BehaviorDo attitudes tell us about someone’s behavior?
Cognitive Dissonance Theory•People want to have consistent attitudes and behaviors….when they are not they experience dissonance (unpleasant tension).•Usually they will change their attitude.
You have a belief that cheaFng on tests is bad.
But you cheat on a test!!!
The teacher was really bad so in that class it is OK.
