The document discusses several social psychology concepts including cutting off reflective failure, social learning perspective, self-fulfilling prophecy, false consensus, and self-esteem. It provides examples of how each concept relates to a student named Chomun who initially failed a test but later improved her academic performance. The examples show how Chomun was initially distanced from by other students after her failure, learned from observing their studying behaviors, began to study more herself due to expectations of improvement, surprised her peers by passing the next test contrary to their assumptions, and felt proud and confident in herself as a result of her increased self-esteem.

1. SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
GROUP ASSIGNMENT

2. CORFING
•Cutting Off Reflective Failure“
•Distancing ourselves from others who
have failed or behaved badly

3. How we have used it :
•When the lecturer return the results of the
test
•Everyone got an A except for Chomun;
she failed the test
•Smarter students began to distance
themselves from Chomun

4. SOCIAL LEARNING PERSPECTIVE
•This perspective argues that individuals learn
from observing the behaviors of others
•Individuals observe modeled behaviors and,
in turn behave in a similar manner
•Sanctions either reinforce or discourage a
given behavior

5. How we have used it :
•Chomun felt ashamed
•During the lecture, she saw the other
students studying
•She follows them and begins to study

6. SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY
•Predictions that cause themselves to
come true
•When a person "becomes" the stereotype
that is held about them

7. How we have used it :
•Chomun stayed in school to study
everyday
•Lecturer helped her in studies
•The lecturer expects her to do well since
she saw her study

8. FALSE CONSENSUS
•Our tendency to overestimate the
number of people who act or think as we
do
•May serve a self-protective function
•May be reinforced by the company we
keep

9. How we have used it :
•After few months, there is a another test
•The smart students think that she will fail
again and won’t pass.
•Results came out, lecturer announces that
Chomun has gotten an A in the test

10. SELF-ESTEEM
•Your evaluation of your own self-worth
•Involves both your physical and
psychological attributes
•Is generally stable, but can fluctuate
•Human beings have an innate need to
feel good about themselves

11. How we have used it :
•After the lecturer announced the result,
Chomun felt proud and became confident
•Her self-esteem is increased
