The video summarizes an experiment conducted to study five concepts of social psychology: first impression, stereotype, halo effect, confirmation bias, and non-verbal communication. The experiment involved approaching people at a shopping mall and asking for a ride, while observing their reactions. Most participants declined to help the foreign student due to forming negative first impressions and stereotypes based on his ethnicity and accent. The results supported the effects of stereotyping, halo effect, and confirmation bias. Non-verbal cues from facial expressions also provided insights about the concepts.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. INTRODUCTION
In this project, we are divided into a group of three with the aim to conduct a social
psychology conceptual video clip and a presentation about the video. Group conceptual topics are
based on integrating theory to the practical. We are required to use materials and theories from
various topics taught and discussed in class. This project carries 40% of the total marks. The
objectives of this project are to be able to conduct a simple social psychology experiment, to
enhance teamwork ability and leadership, and to encourage problem solving and creative thinking.
On successful completion of this subject, we will be able to implement the chosen five concepts to
practical environments, to apply critical thinking in application of real world experiences and to
work in group dynamics.

5. SUMMARY
In this video, we have chosen to study five social psychology concepts which are first
impression, stereotype, halo effect, non verbal communication and confirmation bias. Participant
observation will be used as the way to increase the validity of the study, as observations may help
us have a better understanding of the context and phenomenon under study. An experiment will be
conducted at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall. We will be providing a question(“Would you mind
giving me/us a ride to Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus? I/We have no money for the taxi.”) to
be addressed to the participants. The participants are allowed to decline our approach and/or reject
request of us. The targeted participants will be the people that are more approachable. Then, a
hidden camera will be placed around the area of targeted passers-by to record the participants’
expressions and reactions to our approach. After achieving the objective, all of us will approach to
the participants and explain about the purpose of doing this experiment to avoid any further
misunderstanding. Video will be edited and presented. Only clips with permission from participant
will be included into the video. In conclusion, this video will explain how his/her gender, sexuality,
ethnicity, class, and theoretical approach may affect observation, analysis, and interpretation, which
most clearly describes the five chosen concepts.

6. METHODS
Design:
A survey is designed, aiming people of different gender, age and race in our location, i.e. Sunway
Pyramid, to investigate how people will react and respond to stranger, local and non-local, who ask
them for help to give him or her a ride back to the campus because his or her phone has run out of
battery and he or she has no money. The expressions and reactions of the passers-by are observed
and recorded.
Participants:
Our target setting is limited within the boundary of Sunway Pyramid, aiming people from all walks
of life. The participants’ gender, age group, race and reactions are the key points that we have
recorded and organised in chart (see Results).
Materials:
A hidden camera is placed around the area of targeted passers-by to record the participants’
expressions and reactions to our approach.
Procedures:
1. The team members were assigned separately to approach any passer-by and ask for help, and
record the process of approaching the participants as well as their reactions.
2. Different settings were chosen for video recording.

7. 3. All of the physical traits of the participants were recorded.
4. After the participants gave respond, by either saying yes or no, the analyser went to the
participant to inform him or her that the whole process of approaching them and their reactions
were recorded for our conceptual video clip assignment for Social Psychology module.
5. All steps were repeated in different settings to obtain various outcomes.

12. CONCEPTS
We have included 5 concepts or theories in the video which comprise of theory of first impression,
stereotype, the halo effect, confirmation bias and emotional expression of non-verbal
communication.
First Impression:
In social psychology, first impression is the event when one person first encounters another
person and forms a mental image of that person. First impressions are not deliberate and they may
be instantaneous. It takes just a quick glance, maybe just three seconds, for someone to evaluate you
when you meet him or her for the first time. First impressions are based on a wide range of
characteristics: age, race, culture, language, gender, physical appearance, accent, posture and time
allowed to process.
Linking to the video content, whenever Dinh asked for help from passers-by to give him a
ride back from Sunway Pyramid to Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, almost all of them
rejected him and refused to give him a hand. This is because they formed a mental image of him as
a foreign student from Vietnam because of his accent.
Halo Effect and Stereotype:
People tend to associate a good quality with other positive qualities, and vice versa. The
halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an observer's overall impression of a person influences his or
her feelings and thoughts about that entity's character. This also speaks to the importance of a good
first impression. Halo effect occurs without our active awareness.
On the other hand, stereotyping is the process by which we draw inferences about others
base on knowledge of the categories to which they belong. The stereotype acts as a self-fulfilling

13. prophecy where the perception of attractive people are more valuable members of the society,
leading to them receiving preferential treatment and tangible benefit. Similarly, what is beautiful or
attractive is good effect relies on the assumption that physically attractive people are superior to
others on many other traits, such as overall personality.
From our video, we could clearly see that the passers-by involuntarily formed a mental
image and interpret Dinh as a ‘dangerous’ stranger to them as he is from Vietnam just because
Vietnam gives people a first impression of it is a very ‘perilous and unsafe’ place. Whereas, when
Winnie and Claudwie were asking them for help, most of them willingly agreed to give us a hand.
In conclusion, these decisions are made easily and instantaneously because a person’s physical
appearance is a personal characteristic that is the most obvious and accessible to others in social
interaction.
Confirmation Bias:
The concept of confirmation bias also applies in our video when three of us started to ask for
help from the passers-by. Confirmation bias defined as the tendency of people to favour information
that confirms their belief or opinion. The passers-by’s belief of Dinh being a ‘dangerous’ Vietnam
student is confirmed as he started to speak to them.
Non-verbal Communication:
Non-verbal cues are behaviours, gestures, eye contacts and expressions that convey thoughts
or emotions without words. Emotional expression in social psychology is observable verbal and
non-verbal behaviours that communicate an individual’s internal emotions to others. Facial
expressions are responsible for a huge proportion of non-verbal communication, considering how
much information can be conveyed with a smile or a frown. The look on a person face is often the
first thing we see, even before we hear what they have to say.
| FEB INTAKE 2014 | PSY30203 | 0!13
14. Examples of non-verbal communication in the video are portrayed when three of us asked
for help and different passer-by showed different facial expressions or gestures as we spoke to
them. Non-verbal communication can occur with or without self-awareness.
