Social Psychology

3. Stereotype
• A stereotype assumes that all members of a
group share some common feature
• E.g. The two girl judge a book by it’s cover.
They discriminate the poor man just by his
look and attire.

5. Confirmation Bias
• Paying attention only to information that
supports our beliefs
• Disregarding information that conflicts with our
beliefs
• E.g. The two girls tend to search for interpret or
remember information that confirms their
beliefs. They use the foul smell, disgusting look of
the poor man as evidence to support their
existing opinion.

7. Prosocial Behaviour
• Altruistic Model – When behaviour are done
for selfless reasons
• E.g. The sandwich uncle and the rich man are
altruistically prosocial. They feel empathy and
concern for the poor. They help the poor by
giving him money and food.

9. Observation Learning
• Watching others (models) engage in
behaviours and then repeating those actions
• E.g. The two girls watches how the rich guy
gave the money to the poor guy and
encourage him to not give up on his life.

11. Motivation
Intrinsic motivation
•Taking a certain action for the sake of enjoyment
•Leads us to be more fully engaged
•Leads to greater curiosity and pleasure
•E.g. The two girl are intrinsically motivated to help
the poor man. The motivation comes from the
pleasure they get from their section itself.
