The document summarizes a video about applying concepts of social psychology to a group project. It discusses how social loafing, stereotypes, optimistic bias, negative reinforcement, and attribution influence the group's dynamics and progress. Specifically, it provides examples of how some group members rely on others to do the work, stereotypes affect expectations and performance, overoptimism leads to lack of preparation, negative feedback motivates changed behavior, and internal versus external causes are attributed to the challenges.

3. INTRODUCTION
The story shows that how a
group of students with
different personalities were
doing a teamwork assignment
given by their lecturer. There
are various psychology factors
that lead to procrastination
and slow progressing of their
group assignment.

4. CONCEPTS
• SOCIAL LOAFING
• STEREOTYPE
• OPTIMISTIC BIAS
• NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
• SITUATIONAL ATTRIBUTION

5. SOCIAL LOAFING
• Tendency of certain members of a group to get by
with less effort than what they would have put
when works alone.
• Since getting same marks, they will be lazy and
muddle along the group project which make a
unfair situation to other members who hard-
working.

6. How social loafing is applied in
the video ?
• When the lecturer Mrs. Abdullah allocates
the assignment of group project to them，
Deenie thinks that other members in the
group can do the project nicely .Then, he
does not do anything although there are
some works of project that distributes to
him. When the date of tutorial arrived, he
do not consult anything and get scold on
the lecturer.

7. STEREOTYPE AND
STEREOTYPE
THREAT
• Stereotype : fixed, over generalized belief about a
particular group or class of people.
• Stereotype threat : situational predicament in which people
are or feel themselves to be at risk of confirming negative
stereotypes about their social group.

8. HOW STEREOTYPE SHOWS IN
THE VIDEO ?
• Group members make negative stereotype to Deenie because his
gender and phubbing behaviour.
• The anxiety of him to confirm the negative stereotype(lazy) lead
to stereotype threat. That anxiety causes him to perform worse
than what he should be. He fulfilled the expectation of his group
member toward him.

9. OPTIMISTIC BIAS
• A pervasive phenomenon of perceiving oneself as being less likely than
an average other to experience negative events.
• As a consequence of this bias, some individuals might disregard
precautions that might curb these risks.
• They might not, for example, wear seatbelts as a driver and for the
smokers, they will keep on smoking regardless the situation around them.

10. HOW OPTIMISTIC BIAS SHOWS IN
THE VIDEO?
• When Deenie see others group haven’t
start to do the project, he tell his group
members don’t worry about the
progress. They can relax now and they
will not be the last to finish the project.

11. NEGATIVE
REINFORCEMENT
• An event that removes that
something that makes the
person feel dissatisfied.
• It purposely separate it to
prevent the person from
repeating the same certain
behaviour.

12. How negative reinforcement is
applied in the video ?
• By creating a warning made by the
lecturer to the group.
• Having no marks results the group's
negative response.
• The group changes their behaviour to
finish the work.

13. ATTRIBUTION
• The process by which people use information to make inferences about
the causes of behaviour or events.
• There are 2 types of attribution: Dispositional Attribution and Situational
Attribution
• Dispositional Attribution (Internal Attribution) is the explanation of
individual behaviour as a result caused by internal characteristics that
reside within the individual, as opposed to external (situational)
influences that stem from the environment or culture in which that
individual is found.
• Situational Attribution (External Attribution) is the attributes of your
behaviour to the external or circumstantial causes. It refers to
understanding an event or behaviour as being caused by the situation that
the individual is in.

14. How dispositional attribution is
applied in the video ?
Mr. Abdullah said that if the students did not do anything for the project,
they will not get the marks as well. He purposely said that in order to make
them work. Losing their marks is shown that he receives a result of their
negative behaviour.
