A student submitted an individual journal analyzing a picture showing a young girl teaching a young boy. The student applied two concepts from social psychology - representative heuristics and availability heuristics - to understand the interaction. Representative heuristics was used because the girl appeared to be lecturing like a teacher due to how she was speaking. Availability heuristics was applied since the student had recently seen a lecturer teaching a student alone, making that scenario the first to come to mind when seeing the picture. The journal was 204 words and submitted to fulfill an assignment for a Social Psychology course.

2. Social psychology is about understanding individual behavior in a social context and to study
of the manner in which the personality, attitudes, motivations, and behavior of the individual
influence and are influenced by social groups. According to the picture above, there are 2 young
boy and girl sitting together and study. The young girl is teaching the young boy something.
Base on my view of point, I can apply representative heuristics, because of the way of the girl
speaking she look like a lecturer. It is rare that seeing a student teaching someone with such a
high knowledge.
The next concept about the picture above is availability heuristics. Because before I came to
library I also saw a lecturer is teaching a student alone in the class. When I see this situation, the
first thing pop in my mind is she is a lecturer and she is teaching a student something.
