This handout outlines a class project focused on demonstrating or commenting on social psychological phenomena such as attitudes, conformity, and obedience. Students are encouraged to explore various theories and create a project using any artistic medium, integrating their creativity with scholarly insights. A proposal detailing the project's concept and medium is due on 9/10.

1. This handout helps explain your class project. Your task is to
develop a creative project that demonstrates/comments on one
of the social psychological phenomena we have covered in class
(attitudes, attitude change, conformity, obedience, compliance).
I encourage to you to scan through the chapters and explore
different social theories, concepts, famous experiments, etc.
Find some area of social psychology you have an interest in and
further explore that area (i.e. Milgram’s experiment, cognitive
dissonance, implicit bias, altruism, Prisoner’s Dilemma, etc).
Projects that bring together multiple phenomena are especially
encouraged.
You should use any artistic medium you wish (photography,
video, graphic design, prose, poetry, electronic art/design,
visual art, etc). The goal is to have you merge your creative side
with your scholarly side and integrate social psychology into
your everyday life.
PROPOSAL (Due 9/10): Please submit a
1-2 page paper describing your project in detail. Address the
medium you will be using, the phenomena you will be
examining and the general concept of the project. You may
submit HERE in canvas your proposal early to get a jump start
on the project.
