LABELED THE QUESTIONS!
1. Self-awareness
Self-awareness
- is self conscious in which attention on oneself. Also make
people sensitive with their attitudes dispositionsDuval &
Wicklund, 1972; Silvia & Duval, 2001). Sometimes people feel
uncomfortable or self conscious when it comes to certain things.
I personally sometime feel self conscious about myself when I
think something about me is not looking ok. But I get other
people feedback that is around me saying you look fine, and
why you feel this way about yourself. Because sometimes I get
that self awareness about my meaning trying new thing thinking
it's not going to look ok to me. That I would have a self
conscious feeling about it. Understanding and observing the
subject of self awareness really open my eye about being self
conscious and how I can use that for myself (Berscheid, 1999).

2. Role Playing and the Standford Experiment
I finished reading chapter 4 and I came across the term, "role
playing" which is just as it sounds and we all use it but in the
book it is defined as "A set of norms that defines how people in
a given social position ought to behave (Myers.2010) and then
you act accordingly. I stand corrected, it was not the Stanford
experiment but known at the "Zimbardo prison experiment"
(Meyers. 2010) and this is a classical experiment of role playing
taken literally as volunteer college students were spit up into
prison guards and prisoners and the college students took the
prison guard
role
to the extreme causing severe psyche damage on the volunteer

2. prisoners.
This is a great example of the power attitude and role playing
has!

Who would have the ability to remain in role playing mode and
control the power of their attitude in this experiment?

3.
Role Playing and the Standford Experiment 2
yes, excellent post and I am so glad you touched on role playing
and the Staford Prison study. It is sad that we compare
ourselves to others however, it is also an important part of
human nature, to complete social comparisons in an effort for
one to determine where they do or do not want to be in life.
(Myers, 2010).
Some are born into stature while others have to develop their
own status and determine their roles in life. This can range
from personality, appearances, socioeconomics status, and who
one desires to be or not to be. (Myers, 2010). The Stanford
Prison study demonstrates how the stature of the "prison guards
role playing" actually took on an authoritative and almost
demeaning role to the prisoners, causing ethical concerns to
shut the study down early. (Myers, 2010). A person believing
that he or she is in a position of authority, may exercise this
authority over others and even to the detriment of other, as this
or her ego also comes into play. (Myers, 2010).
One can see this in soceity today, an individual noticing skaters,
druggies, or survivors may decide for them self that they do not

3. want to be in this social class, while still other's may view
bikers, individual's with tattoos, religion, or other aspects of
humanity in order to determine where one may or may not fit in.
(Myers, 2010).
Do you think the strong individual whom steps out of the ranks,
still compares themselves to others? What is it about a person
or groups of people who step out of the ranks? Explain as this
relates to social psychology.

4. Attitude
I love the idea of the A-B-Cs of attitude and behavior. One
must remember that attitude is not always an accurate predictor
of one's behavior. (Myers, 2010). Think about it, a person may
bot believe in lying, cheating or stealing, however student's will
copy another's homework, go to "Hub" pages, and "study works"
and steal other's answers in an effort to gain credit for their
work. Still others touting the same honorary attitudes, will
cheat on their taxes, not report being under charged for an item,
or tell a friend their outfit or haircut looks nice, when secretly
they do not feel that way. In short, one's behavior and
expressed attitudes differ because they are subject to outside or
other influences. (Myers, 2010. p.121).
How might one's self presentation play a role in their behavior
or attitude?

5. Social Psychology, Ch. 4
This chapter went into depth about attitudes and on behaviors.

4. My father always trained us in life that our attitudes determine
our altitudes. According to Myers, "Much of our behavior is
automatic. We act out familiar scripts without reflecting on
what we're doing. We respond to people we meet in the hall
with an automatic "Hi." We answer the restaurant cashier's
question "How was your meal?" by saying, "Fine," even if we
found it tasteless." We like to give ourselves pep talk, and we
like to make our own behaviors up as we go because situation
dictates. For example, when i have to do a speech or a difficult
task to where i need to give myself a pep talk, it's easy to freak
ourselves out and think of all the possible things that can go
wrong. However, humans can be our own worst enemy, so we
need to know consequences come from our behavior attitudes
and our cognition.
