SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGYGROUP ASSIGNMENT

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

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

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

How we have used it :

•Chomun felt ashamed•During the lecture, she saw the other students studying•She follows them and begins to study

SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY

•Predictions that cause themselves to come true•When a person "becomes" the stereotype that is held about them

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

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

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

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

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