In chapter 8 of the textbook, we learned about conformity (a change in one’s behavior due to the real or imagined influence of other people) and how we can change people’s behavior by using different conformity tactics (e.g., foot-in-the-door technique, door-in-the-face technique).
For your final paper, you are to write an APA-formatted 3-page paper in which you identify a problem at John Jay (or any other college or school you have attended or a workplace) that needs to be addressed (e.g., recycling efforts, engagement in sporting events, getting people to take the stairs). You will then use each of the four strategies of conformity learned in Chapter 8 to describe how they can be used to fix the problem that you identified.
Please ensure that your paper follows the specific guidelines below:
1. Title page (APA style)
2. 1-paragraph identifying the problem
3. 1-paragraph addressing the problem using the foot-in-the-door technique
4. 1-paragraph addressing the problem using the door-in-the-face technique
5. 1-paragraph addressing the problem using descriptive norms
6. 1-paragraph addressing the problem using injunctive norms
7. 1-paragraph addressing the problem using a combination of the descriptive norm AND injunctive norm
8. Concluding paragraph
9. Reference page (APA style) with the textbook cited
a. You will also need an in-text citation of the textbook (APA style)
10. Correct formatting
a. double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inc margins
b. 5 pages total
I. Tifle page (1 page) il. Content (3 pages)
ill. Reference page (1 page)
Notes.

– Guidelines on how to create an APA-style title page, reference page, and in-text citation are in the APA style folder for the Final Paper link on our Blackboard course page
