and reading chapters one, five and six in your Principle of Social
Psychology textbook, ponder this: Social psychologists have found that our perceptions and judgments are subject to a variety of biases and other distorting influences. To what advantage is the deliberate development of the perception of flawless beauty in our society? What disadvantage? Using the attitude heuristic of the Halo Effect, how would your general impressions differ by seeing only the image of the woman on the left side of the screen with the same woman if you saw her image only on the right side of the screen? In other words, just by viewing the two images, describe the personality characteristic (your general impression) of each one separately: woman A and woman B.
Then, explain the aspect(s) of social influence most evident in your perceptions and judgments, and to what degree you were aware of using perception and judgment at the time.Based on what you know now, explain whether you would use the same aspect(s) of perception and judgment with this situation today, or what type of influence you would employ instead, and give your reasoning.
