4. Introduction
We were formed a group of 4 at the beginning of the semester for
Social Psychology by our lecturer for the final assignment which is
to create a video clip by incorporating the concept of psychology
that we had learned in class. We were required to prepare a report
of the video clip and present the clip to the class. The objective of
this assignment is to enable student to understand the concepts of
each psychological terms and meanings. In other words, students
would also be able to apply the related concepts in daily life. By
including the concepts with daily life, student would be able to
have a better understanding of the concepts and enhanced the
knowledge of social psychology. This would improve someone’s
thinking skills in terms of communication by one after another and
will reduce the misunderstanding from occurring.
5. Storyline
It was Edson’s first day in University life, as he gets separated
from his friends during high school. After that he felt that he is
lonely, as he does not have any friends in university, so he
decided to make friends with his classmate by trying to talk and be
friends with them so that he will get support from them. After class,
he met 2 new friends both with different personality outside

Edson is a friendly guy and he decided to friend with him. Then, he
met the second person, which is known as William, who is a non-
friendly and anti-social person. He ignores and looked down at
Edson because he was from other countries and he did not intend
to talk to him. Since then, Edson was surprised to met people with
different characteristics as he realized that every person in this
world have different kinds of personality. Besides that he realized
that Fred is a kind hearted and friendly person but William is a
more anti-social and unfriendly person. After that, Edson become
braver after he meet Fred as they managed to be friends. These
give him more confident to talk to his other classmates. Even

community.
Examples:
Edson felt that he is lonely, as he did not have any friends when he enters
University as life changed. So he decided to talk to some of his classmate to
make friends with them so that he can get support from them.
2) Stereotype

feature. It often created about people of specific culture and races
Examples:

William, one of his classmates
6) Confirmation bias

that refute our beliefs

After he talked to William, even through he did not wanted to be friends with
Edson. Edson did not get disappointed and did not intend to give up of finding
friends. As he beliefs that he could find a better friend that could support him.
11. Conclusion

social psychology concepts and how to apply in our daily life. In other words,
this is the advantage and benefits from what we can learn from this

encourages us to improve our ability and we were also able to communicate
with each of our group members well. In conclusion, this assignment gives us
a well experience and we were also able to overcome all our difficulties in
