Introduction
In this assignment, we were assigned in a group consisting of 4 students and are
required to make a social psychology conceptual video clip as well as a presentation that
implements 5 different concepts that are from each chapters. Through this assignment, it
aims to allow the students to learn and understand the connections among each of the
concepts and theories within psychology. Also, this assignment thought us how to implement
the concepts and theories that we have learned from each lecture that we were taught in
class.
Furthermore, the concepts we chose were all acted out by group members. Before
we started filming our video, we had discussed in a meeting among our group members
about our storyline and script. The concepts that were applied in the video are social
influence, first impression, motivation, observational thinking and self-efficacy.
Lastly, throughout meetings and filming done together, we as a group are able to
understand more about the concepts that we have used better in a more social context.

Method
Apparatus and materials used
Iphone 6 was used to record the whole video as we had tried using Iphone 6 to record the

completed filming on that day.
2) 30th January 2016 : We gathered at university to have our second meeting. We gathered
outside the classroom to film the last scene of our video. We discussed how we should act
and say in the video. After finish filming, we separated the report into few parts and
distributed to everyone.
3) 31th January 2016 : We discussed about some minor improvements to the video and

3) Concept
1) Social influence
Definition: The process by which one’s thoughts and actions are affected by others
Concept description: Social influence takes many forms and can be seen in conformity,
socialization, peer pressure, obedience, leadership, persuasion, sales and marketing.
Example: When Michelle was studying, she was influenced by Alfred and Sheng Zhe and
decided to go shopping with them and gave up in studying.
2) First impression
Definition: The event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental
image of that person
Concept description: First impressions are not deliberate, they are not formed by watching
others’ actions. They may be instantaneous and research finds that impressions are made
after only .10 seconds.
Example: When Michelle, Alfred and Sheng Zhe saw Kimberly studying, they assumed
Kimberly was a hardworking girl.
3) Extrinsic motivation
Definition: Taking a certain action in response to external pressure or obligation
Concept description: Action might be done to avoid punishment or earn a specific reward
and it can actually inhibit behaviors if used at the wrong time. Preferences for tasks that are
intrinsically or extrinsically rewarded are influenced by culture.
Example: Michelle, Alfred and Sheng Zhe decided to go back to study instead of going
shopping because they thought that they should study earlier to get a good result in the
examination.

4) Observational learning
Definition: Watching others engage in behaviors and then repeating those actions
Concept description: Observational learning can explain how we acquire attitudes, fears,
opinions, or specific behaviors.
Example: Michelle, Alfred and Sheng Zhe saw Kimberly studying, therefore they decided to
study like her.
5) Self efficacy
Definition: Your belief in your ability to achieve certain goals
Concept description: According to Albert Bandura (1977), people with high self-efficacy see
difficult tasks as challenges and people with low self-efficacy see difficult tasks as something
to be avoided.
Example: Everyone was confident and they believed that they will do well in their
examination.
