Social PsychologyAvailable on Sunday, April 11, 2021 6:27 PM EDT until Tuesday, April 20, 2021 11:59 PM EDT Must post first.SubscribeThe field of social psychology includes a long history of fascinating research, some of which prompted the establishment of the American psychological Association’s Code of Ethics.For this week’s discussion we will employ our analytical skills to evaluate four articles that look at pivotal social psychological research. Through our evaluation of this research, we will apply our knowledge of social psychological concepts, scientific methods, and science driven ethics.Your TaskPart 1: Read: Read the four articles provided this week. They are included in the Week 5 Learning Resources. Links to access the articles are included below as well.Part 2: Main Post: In order to create a focused community of learning, this week we will exchange perspectives and understanding. This will be achieved as follows:Select the article you would like to analyze and discuss its historical impact, and its influence on social psychology today. Read the article carefully and compose your responses to the assigned questions, provided below. Your responses should reflect your unique, personal, response to the study addressed. [For example: If you were out with your fellow social psychologists, deliberating the qualities of the study over coffee what points would you bring to that debate?] Once you have crafted your answers, post them here as your main post to this week’s discussion.Question Group 1: For Studies 1, 2, and 4:1. Briefly describe the problem (or research question), the hypothesis, the procedure (participants, methods) and results of the study.2. Do you see any potential problems with this study, i.e., methodological issues, ethical concerns, etc.?3. Do you agree with the authors’ conclusions? Are there other factors we should consider?4. In your opinion, could this study be repeated today and with the same results? Why or why not?5. From what you know of social psychology, or other pertinent psychology topics, why might this study have been important?Question Group 2: For Study 3:1) What is the Abilene paradox? Describe some of the symptoms of organizations caught in the paradox.2) Tell us about one of the case studies that Harvey (1974) describes on pages 67-69.3) Harvey discusses 5 factors when analyzing the paradox. Discuss at least two of these and their importance in the paradox.4) On page 73, Harvey discusses several terms that describe the risk factors of his model (A Possible Abilene Bypass). Discuss one of these as it relates to his model and to your understanding of these terms in social psychology.5) How would someone go about diagnosing the paradox? What suggestions does Harvey make?6) What are his recommendations for coping with the paradox?Part 3: Peer follow-up: Respond to two of your classmates’ postings, selecting two who discuss an article different from the one you selected. Provide constructive, thoughtful feedback designed to build an engaging dialog. To achieve this, ask questions and share insights that will contribute to a broader analysis of the topic(s) at hand.

Globalization and Cross-cultural PsychologySubscribeThe readings for Week 5 discuss how globalization and the spread of new concepts and ideas and change from other cultures can cause anxiety. The studies done in places like Samoa are now world famous and presented in nearly every sociology and cross-cultural psychology course around the world. As we have seen earlier in this course, change, especially changes in technology culture, can often bring great improvements in human life. For example, think of improvements in medicine that extend life, or in information technology (robotics, computers, the cell phone, social media, etc.). Why is it then that the effects of globalization can cause so much cultural anxiety? For this conference discussion, please answer the following two questions. Be sure to support your comments with evidence of research (citations) and respond to at least two other students main postings.1. Imagine you are a 55 year old American factory worker looking forward to retirement but afraid of being “laid off” by new technology in your workplace. You have a high school education but never attended college. Over the years you have seen your section of the city and neighborhood change as the older generation of white residents like you has aged and moved away or passed away. Most of the new arrivals in your neighborhood are ethnic minorities and most do not speak English at home. The languages you now mostly hear on the streets include Spanish and some other languages you cannot even identify. The school board is asking the mayor to increase the school budget (and taxes) to provide for more teaching aides to assist teachers in the crowded schools. Explain how this combination of factors might contribute to your outlook and concerns.2. Imagine that you are the ethnic minority parents of two school age children (6 and 12 years old) that just moved in to the same neighborhood after waiting years to move into the United States. You want to earn enough money to buy your own home as soon as possible and you are also very determined to have your children learn English and possibly have at least some lessons in the schools taught in your native language so they do not fall behind in learning. You also hope to convert or build a place of worship for your religious beliefs. Finally, you hope to bring your aging parents and siblings to join you in your new neighborhood. Explain how this combination of factors might contribute to your outlook and concerns.

ConformityFashion is a fascinating phenomenon, largely because people seem to conform to its dictates. Be it clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, home décor, lifestyle, and even body styles, people tend to go along with the latest trends. Media fashion images are inescapable; at supermarket checkouts, fashion magazine covers feature perfectly dressed, coifed, accessorized women and tanned, broad-shouldered, men with six-pack abs and bulging biceps. Most people do not look like this—but they try to—as evidenced by the billions spent yearly on clothes, cosmetics, diet plans, and gym memberships.For this Discussion, you will examine social conformity as it applies to fashion trends.To PrepareReview the Learning Resources related to conformity and think about how social psychology theory and research explains why women and men conform to the pressures of fashion, diet, body styles, and lifestyles.By Day 3Post Informed by social psychology theory and research, please explain why, health reasons aside, women and men conform to the pressure of fashion dictates.Aronson, E., Wilson, T.
