There are many studies referenced throughout the text and this course. I thought this video would spark your interest in some of the famous experiments in psychology and their applications to real life. Now as a professor, I would never encourage you to make up your mind about the results of any of these studies from watching such a quick video, but perhaps the video gets you interested in looking up more facts about some of the studies.
For this assignment, you must watch the following video, do some additional reading, and answer the following questions.
1)Choose one of the studies in the video and describe the basics of the study and why you chose it?
2)In addition, identify the primary researchers involved, their field of psychology, and other studies they may have completed?
3)Lastly, share some interesting facts or criticism about the study that was not mentioned in the video?
Please be mindful of my expectations about length and formatting as noted in the introductory module rubric.
Please read this paragraph carefully and make sure you follow all instructions. It may include special instructions like submitting a file or commenting on a classmate’s response. Each question or prompt should be number and retyped. Then you are expected to write a solid, minimum 1 paragraph(min 5 sentences) response to each section. In general, I would write more than 5 sentences and more than 1 paragraph and make sure I clearly and directly answered the prompt. See this sample below for an upcoming discussion.
This is an example:
1) Can you describe a time in your life where someone left you with a bad first impression, but you later grew to know and like them better?
Your paragraph(s).
2)What were the factors that led you to such a negative first impression?
Your paragraph(s)
3)What were the factors that helped you look past the first negative impression?
Your paragraph(s)
4)Lastly, describe how research noted in the video is related to social psychology?
Your paragraph(s)
