Attraction pp
This document summarizes biological, psychological, and social explanations for attraction. Biologically, we are attracted to potential mates who can produce healthy offspring, as shown in a study where women found the scents of men with dissimilar immune systems most pleasant. Psychologically, the attraction-similarity model suggests we are attracted to similar others, as a 1971 study found. Socially, proximity increases relationship formation, as seen in a 1950 college dorm study, and social proof influences attractiveness perceptions, as demonstrated in a 2007 face preference experiment.
Attraction pp
We are attracted to potential mates whose genes are dissimilar to our own, as this would produce children with a stronger, more diverse immune system, according to an experiment where women found the scents of men with dissimilar immune systems more pleasant (Wedekind, 1995). We also tend to be attracted to and perceive as similar to ourselves those who we believe share our characteristics, and our relationships can impact our self-concept (Byrne, 1971). Additionally, our culture and physical proximity to others influences who we form relationships with (Festinger et al, 1950).
Social Identity Theory & Stereotypes
The document discusses social identity theory and stereotypes. It provides an overview of social identity theory, describing how individuals derive self-esteem from membership in social groups and compare their in-groups favorably to out-groups. It summarizes several classic studies on social identity theory and stereotypes, including Tajfel's minimal group experiments showing in-group favoritism and Cialdini's research on "basking in reflective glory." It also evaluates social identity theory, noting strengths like explaining in-group favoritism and limitations like not fully explaining why in-group favoritism can lead to violence toward out-groups.
Sociocultural methodology ethics
This document discusses sociocultural methodology and ethics in research. It covers learning objectives about research methods at the sociocultural level, including participant observation, interviews, and case studies. It also discusses ethical considerations in sociocultural research. Examples of sociocultural methodology are described, including Milgram's famous obedience study from 1961 that investigated obedience to authority figures. Questions are provided about Milgram's study and its methodology, strengths, limitations, and ethics. Possible portfolio topics are suggested applying understandings of social psychology to explain actions of Nazi executioners.
Culture Powerpoint
This document discusses key concepts related to cultural psychology, including definitions of culture, cultural dimensions, and the emic and etic perspectives. It provides definitions of culture from several researchers and defines Hofstede's cultural dimensions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism vs collectivism, masculinity vs femininity, long-term vs short-term orientation, and indulgence vs restraint. Examples of studies examining cultural dimensions and the emic and etic approaches are summarized. The document aims to define these important cultural psychology concepts and examine how cultural factors influence human behavior across societies.
The social identity theory
Social identity theory proposes that people categorize themselves and others into social groups. People tend to favor the groups they belong to and view them more positively than other groups. Individuals aim to enhance their self-esteem through the groups they identify with. There are two belief systems for achieving this enhancement: social mobility, believing one can change groups to improve status, and social change, believing one must challenge the status quo by competing with higher status groups. Understanding social identity theory can help create more effective marketing like music videos by appealing to the social identities and groups of the target audience.
Cultural impact on relationships
This document discusses the impact of culture on relationships. It notes that relationships in Western cultures tend to be individualistic, voluntary and temporary, with choice marriages the norm and love coming before marriage. In non-Western cultures relationships are more collectivistic, involuntary and permanent, with arranged marriages common and love developing after marriage. The document reviews several studies that found cultural differences in attitudes towards arranged marriage, as well as higher reported satisfaction among arranged couples in some non-Western cultures. It aims to explain how cultural factors can influence relationship preferences and styles.
Social identity theory & MLK
Social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. It explains how social categorization and comparisons between in-groups and out-groups impact behavior. Several studies discussed provide evidence for this, such as Tajfel's finding that random groupings led to in-group favoritism, and research showing that threats to social identity increase stress levels and derogation of out-groups. However, the theory also has limitations, as some studies had low ecological validity or did not fully account for factors like poverty. Overall, social identity theory effectively explains phenomena like in-group bias, conformity, and intergroup conflict, though more research is still needed.

Sociocultural loa principles
This document outlines three principles of sociocultural level of analysis:
1) Humans have an innate need to belong and be part of social groups, as Aristotle noted that humans are social animals.
2) Culture, defined as the norms and values of a society, influences human behavior. Cultural legacies persist over generations and shape attitudes.
3) Humans have a social self that reflects their group memberships, which define their identities.
Attribution power point
This document discusses attribution theory and common errors in attribution. It begins with warm-up questions about successes and failures. It then defines attribution as how people explain behaviors and events. Two types of attribution are discussed: situational vs. dispositional. Common errors in attribution are explained, including the fundamental attribution error of overemphasizing dispositional factors and underestimating situational influences. Research studies are described that demonstrate these errors, such as overestimating the intelligence of someone in a position of authority. The document concludes with a discussion of the self-serving bias and how attribution differs across cultures.
Resistance to social influence
1. The document discusses factors that influence an individual's ability to resist social influence, including situational and dispositional factors.
2. It analyzes research on the situational factor of social support, finding that social support from others providing alternative responses reduces conformity by breaking the unanimous position of the majority.
3. The document also analyzes the dispositional factor of locus of control, finding that individuals with an internal locus of control are more resistant to social influence because they believe they can control events through their own efforts rather than external forces.
3. Conformity & Obedience
This document provides an overview of key concepts in social psychology related to conformity and obedience. It discusses classic studies on conformity by Sherif and Asch, and on obedience by Milgram. Factors that influence conformity and obedience are explored, such as group size and unanimity. The document also examines theories to explain these behaviors, such as informational and normative influence, and the agentic shift proposed by Milgram to explain why people obey authority figures. Criticisms of classic studies and strategies for resisting social pressure are also summarized.
Preventing violence
The document discusses several strategies for reducing violence:
1) Self-control exercises were found to decrease aggressive behavior by limiting impulses.
2) Yoga increased self-control and reduced stress and aggression in prisoners.
3) Empathy training reduced aggression in children by helping them understand others' perspectives.
4) However, anti-bullying programs were found to be ineffective and may increase victimization.
5) A multi-pronged program addressing empathy, skills, and family issues reduced violence, but only in some communities. Overall sociocultural factors strongly influence the success of intervention programs.
Decision making
The document discusses two theories of decision making: the dual processing theory which describes two modes of thinking - fast/automatic and slow/deliberate, and the mindset theory which describes having either a growth or fixed mindset that impacts decisions. Research on the dual processing theory uses methods like brain imaging to study risky decision making in adolescents versus adults, while research on mindset theory uses interventions and surveys to study the relationship between mindset and academic achievement. The two theories differ in their focus on types of thinking and the types of evidence used to support them through research.
Aggression
Social learning theory explains aggression through observational learning and reinforcement. Bandura's Bobo doll experiment found children who observed an adult acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll were more likely to behave aggressively themselves, especially if the adult was rewarded. Evaluation of social learning theory notes it has good experimental support but lacks ecological validity and has ethical issues.
Chapter 2 Research Methodology In Social Psychology
1) Social psychologists conduct both correlational and experimental research. Correlational research looks for natural associations between variables in real-world settings, while experimental research manipulates variables under controlled conditions to establish causation.
2) An example is provided of a correlational study finding that obese women had lower incomes even after controlling for other factors, suggesting possible discrimination. An experiment then showed men speaking less warmly to a woman they believed to be obese based on her photo.
3) Similarly, a correlation between children's TV violence viewing and aggression was examined experimentally by exposing some children to a violent TV episode and finding they then displayed more aggression than children who did not watch.
4) Experiments allow social psychologists to test
Conformity
The document discusses conformity and its role in anti-social behavior. It defines conformity as a change in behavior or attitudes due to real or imagined group pressure or norms. There are three types of conformity: compliance, identification, and internalization. It also summarizes three classic experiments on conformity conducted by Stanley Milgram, Solomon Asch, and Muzafer Sherif. Students are assigned to one of the experiments and must present on what the experiment involved, its conclusions, and how it could explain anti-social behavior.
Conformity
1. Conformity is changing one's behavior or beliefs due to real or imagined social pressure from a group. It involves publicly agreeing with a group while potentially privately disagreeing (compliance) or fully adopting the group's beliefs (acceptance).
2. Classic studies on conformity include Sherif's experiments on norm formation, in which participants' estimates changed to match the group's responses, and Asch's line judgment study, where 75% of participants conformed at least once by agreeing with an incorrect group response.
3. In Milgram's obedience study, 65-66% of participants continued administering electric shocks to a learner even after being told by the experimenter to continue shocking to dangerous levels, showing
Cultural norms pp 2015
This document provides information about defining culture and cultural norms. It includes learning outcomes, definitions of culture from several sources, a definition of cultural norms, and questions to consider about culture. It also discusses cultural dimensions, examples of studies that examined individualism/collectivism and long-term/short-term orientation, and the concepts of emic and etic research.
Cognition, biology and emotion pp
This document discusses how cognition and biology interact to produce emotions. It presents several theories on this topic. Le Doux's theory proposes two pathways - a short route involving physiological responses and a long route involving cognitive processing. Lazarus' appraisal theory suggests that cognitive evaluations of whether a situation implies well-being or harm determine the emotional response. An experiment by Speisman et al. found that manipulating participants' cognitive framing of a video impacted their physiological stress responses, supporting the role of cognition in emotion. Overall, the document examines how both biological factors and cognitive appraisals work together to generate emotions.
06 factors affecting obedience (part 2)
The document discusses Milgram's variations on his obedience experiments and explanations for obedience. It outlines six variations Milgram conducted that altered proximity, location, or uniform from the original experiment. These include having someone else administer shocks, giving instructions over the phone, changing the location, and making participants work in groups. The variations showed obedience levels from 10% to 92.5%, supporting situational explanations. Explanations for obedience discussed are agentic state, legitimacy of authority, proximity, location, and uniform.
Research Methods In Social Psychology
This document discusses different research methods used in psychology, including descriptive research, correlational research, and experiments. Descriptive research provides information but does not test theories. Correlational research examines relationships between variables but cannot determine causation. Experiments are described as the best method for testing theories by manipulating variables and using random assignment, allowing for causal conclusions. The document uses a study on the relationship between "southernness" and aggression as an example to illustrate strengths and weaknesses of different methods.
Lesson 2 conformity
There are three main types of conformity according to the document:
1. Compliance, which involves going along with a group to gain approval or avoid disapproval, but does not reflect a change in underlying attitudes.
2. Internalization, which involves accepting and believing the group's views both publicly and privately.
3. Identification, which involves conforming in order to fit in as a group member and has elements of both compliance and internalization.
The two main explanations for conformity are normative social influence, which is conforming to avoid being rejected or mocked by the group, and informational social influence, which involves accepting information from others as evidence about reality when uncertain.
Key experiments discussed include
Conformity
Conformity involves changing your behaviors in order to "fit in" or "go along" with the people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or it might involve behaving in a particular way in order to be perceived as "normal" by the group.
Conformity
The document discusses conformity and several classic experiments that studied it. Solomon Asch's famous experiment showed that people's perceptions can change under peer pressure from a group. Later experiments by Stanley Milgram and Jane Elliott further demonstrated how people often conform to authorities, even when they disagree privately or have doubts about the authority's instructions. The document also discusses differences in individualism between Western and Eastern cultures and how the desire to fit in or seek guidance from others can lead to normative or informational conformity.
Agentic state
Here is a potential 4 mark outline of the role of the agentic state in obedience:
The agentic state theory proposes that when individuals are placed in a situation with a perceived legitimate authority figure, they enter an 'agentic state' where they see themselves less as autonomous individuals and more as agents acting on behalf of the authority. This agentic shift allows people to distance themselves from responsibility for their own actions, increasing the likelihood they will obey orders from the authority figure due to feeling less personally accountable.
Compliance techniques power point
This document discusses compliance techniques that can be used to influence people's behaviors. It describes six techniques: authority, commitment/consistency, liking, reciprocity, scarcity, and consensus. For each technique, it provides examples of how they work and references studies demonstrating their effectiveness. The document concludes by challenging readers to design advertisements or fundraising strategies using these compliance principles.
Relationships ending pp
This document summarizes several theories for why relationships change and end, including the triangular theory of love, social exchange theory, the investment model of commitment, equity theory, and additional factors. It discusses key concepts such as satisfaction, commitment, alternatives, investments, rewards/costs, communication patterns, and perceptions of equity that can impact relationship stability and likelihood of breakup. Research studies are summarized that investigate how these concepts predict whether relationships last or end.
Altruism Theories
The document discusses several studies that examine cultural differences in prosocial behavior:
- Whiting (1975) found that children in Kenya were the most prosocial, while those in Japan and India were the least, and that household responsibilities predicted higher prosocial behavior.
- Levine et al (2003) observed helping behaviors across 23 countries and found that places like Brazil and Denmark ranked higher than the US, suggesting cultures emphasizing social responsibility over achievement help more.
- Korte & Ayvalioglu (1981) found that small communities and squatter settlements in Turkey helped strangers more than large cities or suburbs, indicating community size impacts prosocial norms.

Communication pp
This document discusses the role of communication in maintaining relationships. It summarizes several studies that examined how attributions and communication styles impact relationship satisfaction. One study found unhappy couples showed more negative emotions and stress during conflicts. Another study found avoidance of conflict was linked to less satisfaction, while solving problems together was associated with happiness. The document also describes Gottman's four horsemen of the apocalypse - criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling - which are linked to relationship dissatisfaction over time.
Social learning theory power point
Social Learning Theory proposes that humans can learn through observational learning and imitating models. According to the theory, there are four requirements for observational learning to occur: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation. The document summarizes several classic studies that provide evidence for Social Learning Theory, including the Bobo doll experiment conducted by Bandura which found that children were more likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors after observing an adult model acting aggressively towards a Bobo doll. Another study on vervet monkeys found that infant monkeys were more likely to adopt feeding strategies demonstrated by their mothers.
Intro to general psych
The document provides an introduction to psychology. It defines psychology as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and diseases as well as external environmental factors. It explains that psychology uses the scientific method and relies on evidence to investigate human and animal behavior and mental processes. It also discusses some of the key internal mental processes studied in psychology, such as memory, learning, language, and decision making.
Intro to the brain (gen psych)
This document provides an introduction to the human brain, including its structure and functions. It discusses key topics such as neurology, the nervous system, localization of function, neurons, and brain plasticity. Specific areas of the brain like the frontal lobe and hippocampus are examined. The passage also explores how the teenage brain develops and is impacted by hormones and chemicals, leading teens to make decisions guided by emotions and urges rather than logic. It emphasizes how understanding brain development can help with teenage behaviors.
Mental illness and homelessness
This document provides an overview of learning about the connection between mental illness, homelessness, and being an ally. It includes the following key objectives: understanding how mental illness impacts homelessness issues; learning how this affects real world problems; and being able to use this information to analyze the film "The Soloist." Students are asked to record important words on these topics and create a word cloud summarizing the lesson. They are also directed to a website on keeping Oregon residents mentally well.
Sports psychology strategies
This document discusses several mental strategies that can help improve performance for competitions and life challenges. These include mental imagery, where top competitors visualize scenarios and outcomes to prepare; self-talk, using positive self-statements; personal mantras, short phrases that promote positive thinking; and controlling body language. The document encourages reflecting on weaknesses and overcoming barriers, then applying these mental techniques with specifics relevant to the individual's topic.
The power of the situation
The document discusses the concept of free will versus determinism and how human behavior can be influenced by outside forces through conditioning and learning. It references social experiments that tested how participants' actions were impacted by authority figures and situations more than their own free will. The key questions are to what extent individuals have control over their own actions or if behavior is predicted by external factors outside one's control.
Learning pp
This document provides an introduction to classical and operant conditioning theories of learning. It defines learning as a long-term change in behavior based on experience. Classical conditioning is described through Pavlov's dog experiment in which dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with food. Operant conditioning is explained as how behavior is strengthened or weakened by consequences, like reinforcement and punishment. Examples are given of positive and negative reinforcement as well as positive and negative punishment. The document aims to explain how environments and consequences impact behavior.
Gender pp

Violence pp
This document discusses violence in Chicago and potential causes and interventions. It examines how social learning theory and a culture of honor may help explain violence in Chicago. Studies on provocation and aggression show males from a culture of honor respond more aggressively. Strategies to reduce violence discussed include increasing self-control through exercises, yoga programs in prisons, and the MACS multi-pronged classroom, social skills, and family counseling approach, though the latter was only effective in moderate resource communities.
Biosocial approach
The biosocial approach argues that both biological and social factors interact to influence gender development, as biological sex influences the social roles individuals are expected to fulfill but these roles also shape psychological gender differences. Social role theory proposes that physical sex differences lead to specialized social roles for men and women, and people develop characteristics suited to their typical social roles. Studies examining the influence of gender labels on perceptions of children's behavior provide support for the biosocial view that socialization strongly shapes gender development from an early age.

Potential Benefits of Video Games
- Improved cognitive skills: Certain games have been shown to enhance cognitive abilities like spatial navigation, problem-solving and hand-eye coordination. Fast-paced action games may improve attention and multitasking skills.
- Promoting prosocial behavior: Games with cooperative or helping themes can encourage prosocial behaviors like teamwork and sharing in children who play them regularly.
capstone research paper
1) The document discusses sociological theories that help explain gang activity in impoverished urban communities like the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago. Labeling theory and anomie theory suggest that negative societal perceptions of these communities can lead youth to join gangs.
2) Life in the Robert Taylor Homes was characterized by poor conditions, violence, and lack of support from authorities. Gangs provided some services to residents that the government did not.
3) Research found that media portrayals exaggerated the involvement of gangs in drug dealing but that economic pressures and learning deviant behaviors from family/community influenced youth to engage in illegal activities. As long as social stigma toward these communities exists, gang activity will likely
Ppt for SOCIAL DISORGANISATION theory
This document provides an overview of social disorganization theory, which proposes that criminal behavior is influenced by sociological factors and the environment. The theory was developed by the Chicago School, which found correlations between crime rates and conditions of poverty like inadequate housing and a lack of economic opportunities. Social disorganization theory specifically suggests that a breakdown in social controls and community structure in disadvantaged neighborhoods leads to increased crime and delinquency, as factors like poverty, residential mobility, and ethnic heterogeneity weaken social ties and support networks.
CAPE SOCIOLOGY UNIT 2 Deviance teachernotes
The document discusses deviance from several sociological perspectives:
1. Functionalist perspective - Deviance can serve positive social functions by affirming norms, clarifying moral boundaries, promoting social unity, and encouraging social change. However, it can also be disruptive.
2. Strain theory perspective - Structural strain occurs when people cannot reach socially admired goals, leading them to turn to deviance.
3. Interactionist perspectives - Labeling theory states deviance is based on social response not just acts. Cultural transmission theory says people learn deviant behaviors through social interaction.
4. Conflict perspective - Norms primarily reflect interests of powerful, who can avoid being labeled deviant, while poor cannot

Island In the Street: Analyzing the Function of Gang Violence from a Culture ...
This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes gang violence from a cultural and conflict perspective. The paper examines the components of gang culture that are in conflict with broader society and how gangs, communities, and law enforcement view the gang problem differently. Through an analysis of news articles, the researcher found that gang violence stems more from issues of identity and values within gang culture rather than just environmental factors. Both gangs and law enforcement see the gang problem rigidly, while communities view it more flexibly. Understanding gang culture is important to address the root causes of violence rather than just the behaviors.

Assignment Gender StereotypingGender stereotyping reflects
Assignment: Gender Stereotyping
Gender stereotyping reflects the perceived psychological traits and characteristics of males and females, and the related roles that are thought to be appropriate for each gender in family, work, school, and society as a whole. Gender stereotyping impacts individuals in terms of how they view themselves and their place in society, as well as how society views the respective gender and the appropriate behavior and roles for each. The implications can be far reaching.
It is evident by studying history that gender stereotypes have changed over time. One obvious example is in the history of women's suffrage. It was believed in the U.S. that women were not sufficiently mentally astute to vote on the important issues impacting society. The belief was that a woman's place was in the home raising children and taking care of the domestic needs of the family. With women's suffrage in the early 20th century and the century that has followed, this stereotype has been changed. Not only do women vote but they hold every office at all levels including heads of state and presidencies across the globe. The 2016 presidential election even featured the first female nominee from a major political party.
As a foundation for the study of gender, this Application Assignment asks you to explore gender stereotypes in some depth, including a consideration of the numerous stereotypes for both men and women; how stereotypes differ by culture; and how stereotypes impact individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 3 of the course text,
Gender: Psychological Perspectives
, focusing on the definition of gender stereotyping, the impact it may have on society and individuals, and cultural differences and similarities in gender stereotyping. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity.
Review the article, "Stereotypes as Dynamic Constructs: Women and Men of the Past, Present, and Future."
Review the article, "Bimbos and Rambos: The Cognitive Basis of Gender Stereotypes." Focus specifically on how the media perpetuates gender stereotyping.
Review the article, “Young and Older Adults' Gender Stereotype in Multitasking.” Focus on how this recent research suggests gender stereotyping is alive and well today.
Think about the following questions:
What are common stereotypes for men?
What are common stereotypes for women?
How have these stereotypes changed over time? What stereotypes have not really changed? Be sure to take into consideration different types of media such as film, TV, and literature as you prepare for this assignment.
What impact do these stereotypes have on individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole? Think in terms of the life of the individuals; the families; school life and the educational journey; work life and career options; health and wellness issu ...
Probable Causes
Serial murderers are created by a complex combination of psychological and environmental factors rather than being inherently born that way. Their development is influenced by experiences like childhood abuse and issues with personality traits such as narcissism. Understanding these root causes could help society find ways to recognize troubling behaviors early and potentially prevent people from becoming serial killers.
Document31 (1)
The document discusses the concept of moral panic and argues that the Black Lives Matter movement sparked a moral panic in the United States. Moral panic occurs when an event disturbs social norms and causes a widespread reaction that something is seriously threatening society. Examples of past moral panics include issues related to gang violence, child abuse, health crises, and terrorism. The document argues that the Black Lives Matter movement disturbed the normal social pattern in America of oppressing and attacking Black people without consequences. This unexpected change generated national concern, hostility, and volatility, which are key features of a moral panic.

Presentation 4 (social control)
A terrorist attacked Norway, killing 76 people in bombings and shootings. The attacker, Anders Behring Breivik, said his motives were to stop multiculturalism and the growing Muslim population in Europe. He targeted the ruling Labor Party's youth camp. Experts say the attack aimed to undermine Norway's values of openness, freedom of expression, and safety. Increased government surveillance is seen as a necessary response to terrorism but also raises concerns about social control.

Memory pp
Schemas influence memory formation and retrieval in several ways. Bartlett (1932) found that British participants assimilated and distorted a story to fit their cultural schemas over repeated retellings. Johnson and Bayford (1972) showed that providing a laundry schema before a paragraph improved recall versus no schema. Brewer and Treyens (1981) found schemas aided recall of typical office items but atypical items like a skull were also recalled. Allport and Postman (1947) showed racial schemas distorted a story's retelling between white and black participants. Overall, schemas act as filters that organize new information and reconstruct memories to fit existing knowledge structures.
Loftus and memory pp
This document discusses several studies that demonstrate how memory can be unreliable and manipulated. The Loftus and Palmer (1974) study showed that using different words to ask about a car crash led participants to estimate different speeds. Later studies showed how false memories could be implanted about experiences like hot air balloon rides. Even memories of stressful events like interrogations were found to be vulnerable to misinformation. These studies highlight how human memory reconstructs rather than perfectly recalls experiences, and is influenced by new information.
Flashbulb Memories
Flashbulb memories are highly vivid memories of learning about a shocking or emotional event. Early studies found that people had accurate memories of the context and their reactions to significant events like the JFK assassination. However, later studies found that flashbulb memories lack consistency and accuracy over time, even if confidence in the memories remains high. While emotional events may be more memorable initially, repeated testing has shown that flashbulb memories are reconstructive and details can change substantially within a few years of the event.
Stereotypes 2018
This document discusses stereotypes from several perspectives:
1. It defines stereotypes as generalizations made about groups that get applied to individuals. Several theories on the origins of stereotypes are presented, including social categorization and the "grain of truth" hypothesis.
2. Research is summarized that shows how holding stereotypes can impact perceptions and expectations of others. Studies demonstrate stereotypes influence judgments of intelligence and ability.
3. Additional research shows how knowing stereotypes exist about one's own group can negatively impact performance through "stereotype threat."
4. The document ends by reviewing studies on ways stereotypes may be overcome, such as exposing children to counter-stereotypical media portrayals and increasing awareness of implicit biases
Genetics & Epigenetics
The document discusses genetics and its impact on human behavior. It begins by defining behavioral genetics and inheritance patterns. It then summarizes several twin and gene studies that examine the role of genetics in antisocial behavior. The studies found genetics account for about 50% of variations in antisocial behavior. The document also discusses the role of epigenetics in influencing gene expression and behavior based on environmental factors and parental experiences. In particular, it examines how stress and enriched environments in parents can lead to epigenetic changes that impact offspring behavior.
Social cognitive theory power point
Social Cognitive Theory explains how humans learn behavior through observational learning. This learning is shaped by cognition, environment, and reinforcement. Key aspects of SCT include modeling behaviors, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancies. Studies show children learn aggression from observing adult models, and children's aggression can be predicted by their self-efficacy and expectations of rewards for aggression. Monkey studies also show animals learn behaviors from their mothers.
Genetics & Antisocial Behavior
Genes contribute to about half of individual variations in antisocial behavior, according to twin studies. While genes may increase predisposition, they do not determine behavior alone. Studies found genetics account for 50% of antisocial behavior, but less impact for separated twins, showing environment also influences behavior. Research links low-activity MAOA genes interacting with childhood trauma to increased violence, suggesting genetics and environment combine to impact antisocial behavior.
Ethics 2018
This document discusses the ethical standards psychologists must follow when conducting research. It outlines the six main standards: informed consent, avoiding deception, protecting participants from harm, right to withdraw, debriefing, and confidentiality. The standards aim to protect human and animal participants. Researchers are required to receive informed consent, avoid or minimize deception, prevent physical and psychological harm, allow participants to withdraw at any time, debrief participants on the true purpose and any deception after the study, and keep participants' identities confidential.
Psychology Methodology
The document outlines the key steps and components of designing a research study in psychology, including developing an aim, methodology, and analyzing findings and conclusions. It discusses developing an aim that identifies the independent and dependent variables and target population. For methodology, it describes important considerations like participants/sampling, control conditions, design, validity, and reliability. It then covers specific methodology elements like treatment and control groups, repeated measures vs independent sample designs, reliability, and threats to internal and external validity.
Preventing violence
This document discusses several strategies for reducing violence and their relative effectiveness:
1) Self-control exercises, such as using only one hand for tasks, were found to decrease aggressive behavior for those who practiced them compared to a control group.
2) A yoga program in prisons resulted in increased self-control and less reported aggressiveness among inmates compared to a control group.
3) Teaching children empathy and perspective-taking skills led to less aggressive playground behavior than a control group.
4) However, anti-bullying programs in schools were found to be ineffective and possibly increased peer victimization.

Intro to psychological research cell phones
This document provides guidance on researching and forming an argument about whether cell phone use should be allowed in the classroom. It instructs students to brainstorm questions on the topic, categorize questions as open-ended or closed-ended, prioritize the most important questions, and find evidence from assigned readings to answer the questions. Students are then directed to create an argumentative thesis stating their claim and reasons, outline their argument with reasons and evidence, and analyze what types of evidence they are using to build their argument's credibility, engage emotions, or rely on logic.
Stress pp ib psych
This document discusses stress and its effects on the body and brain. It summarizes several studies that show: 1) Chronic stress can reduce the volume of the hippocampus and impair memory; 2) Chronic stress can weaken neurons in the frontal lobe and hippocampus while strengthening the amygdala; 3) High levels of the stress hormone cortisol can negatively impact memory, while moderate levels do not; 4) Children exposed to stress and violence who have high or low cortisol levels show delayed cognitive development compared to those with moderate levels.
Psychology of magic
This document discusses the psychology of magic and attention. It includes examples of magic tricks and research on attention. Magicians are able to manipulate attention and perception to create illusions. Students learn a magic trick, explaining how it relates to attention and perception, and compete to "fool" their teacher. Understanding attention and perception can change how we see the world and human behavior.
History of racism & portland
This document discusses the history and impacts of racism in Portland, Oregon and South Africa. It begins by defining race and racism, then outlines the origins and progression of racist ideologies and systems from the 14th century through today. Key periods discussed include the rise of slavery and colonialism between 1300-1600, the emergence of biological racism in the 19th century, and the Holocaust and civil rights movement in the 20th century. The document then examines examples of individual/interpersonal and systemic/institutional racism, and considers whether Portland exhibits racist traits through various examples and analyses. It concludes by reviewing apartheid in South Africa, the legacy of racism there today according to Trevor Noah's accounts, and ongoing issues discussed in recent news reports.
Genetics pp
Genes contribute to behaviors but do not determine them. Studies of twins and genes like 5-HTT and COMT show that:
- Genetics influence traits like intelligence (70%) and likelihood of depression, but environment also matters
- The 5-HTT gene predicts if one will become depressed after stressful life events
- COMT impacts stress response and test/task performance depending on allele (fast or slow acting enzyme)
However, one gene does not cause a behavior and ethics around genetic testing and research are important issues.
Personality
This document discusses personality traits and how they impact behavior. It defines personality as a set of qualities that make individuals unique. Trait theory holds that personalities are made up of traits, including cardinal, central, and secondary traits. The Big Five model identifies the main traits as openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The document explains how taking a personality test can reveal someone's traits. While traits predict behaviors, personalities can change over time with conscious effort through steps like changing one's environment and rewarding new behaviors.
Mexican history pp
The document provides an overview of Mexican history from pre-colonization to the Mexican Revolution. It discusses how the Spanish established systems of control, including racial castes and large estates called haciendas. This led to tensions that contributed to Mexico gaining independence, though the country remained unstable. Later, the Liberal government instituted reforms challenging the Catholic Church and wealthy landowners, leading to the long Mexican Revolution aimed at greater equality.
Major debates in psych
The document discusses three major debates in psychology: nature vs nurture, reductionism vs holism, and free will vs determinism. For nature vs nurture, it examines the extent to which behavior is influenced by internal biological factors or the external environment. Reductionism vs holism addresses whether behavior is best explained by single or multiple causes. And free will vs determinism considers the level of individual control over behavior versus external predictability. Examples are provided for each debate.
Defining psychology
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and how they are affected by both internal factors like genetics and biology as well as environmental influences. It uses the scientific method, relying on evidence rather than theories. Behavior refers to observable actions while mental processes are internal functions like memory, learning, and decision-making. Psychology studies human behavior through three levels of analysis: biological looks at physiological and genetic influences; cognitive examines how we process information; and sociocultural considers how society and culture shape our behaviors as social animals.

advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 7. Nisbett and Cohen (1996) Culture as a Predictor of Violence Aim: To discover if a Culture of Honor would predict violent behavior. Method: College students (males) from both the North and the South. Had participants be bumped by a confederate working in a filing cabinet. They either received an insult (“a**hole”) or did not.
- 8. Nisbett and Cohen (1996) Findings: Males from the North viewed the insult as amusement while the Southerners were more likely to act aggressively in response. Conclusion: Men from a culture of honor were more likely to display aggressive behavior when provoked. Critical Thinking?
- 9. Biological Elements of the “A**hole” Study Nisbett & Cohen (1996) Aim: To see if there were biological differences in the response to the insult. Method: Measured cortisol and testosterone levels of participants. Results: Cortisol levels rose 79% in Southerners and only 33% in Northerners. Testosterone were higher in insulted Southerners. Conclusion: Culture impacted the biological response to insults.
- 10. The Interrupters We will watch the first 7 minutes of this documentary. Our task is to link what we see here to our understandings of sociocultural psychology. The Interrupters What concepts from the Sociocultural LoA help us explain the violence in Chicago?
