Social Psychology, Part III

  • Social influence explains how individuals respond to expectations of others, including groupthink, conformity, and obedience to authority.
  • Behavior is contagious
  • Changes in a person’s behavior induced by the presence or actions of another person
  • Solomon Asch created an experiment that included deception and measured levels of conformity
  • There are both personal and situational factors that increase conformity
  • Stanley Milgram created the infamous obedience study to see how far people would go in shocking fellow volunteers
  • Among the implications from the Milgram research are that “normal, everyday” people are capable of performing evil actions regardless of previous actions or attitudes
  • Other social influence concepts include compliance, foot-in-the-door effect, door-in-the-face technique, low-ball technique, social facilitation, social inhibition, social loafing, deindividuation, and group polarization

        Helps Identify Relationships Worth Knowing About
        0:33
        Helps Make Predictions
        0:38
        If Correlation Exists Then the Two Variables are Related
        0:46
        Correlation Does NOT Equal Causation
        0:55
        A Third or Extraneous Variable Can Create the Appearance of a Correlation Between Two Unrelated Variables
        1:10
        Correlation Only Indicates the Strength of Relationship Between Two Variables.
        1:15
        Correlation
        1:24
        Indicates Positive or Negative Relationship Between Variables.
        1:26
        Positive Correlation: Presence of One Variable Predicts the Presence of Another
        1:33
        Negative Correlation: Presence of One Variable Predicts the Absence of Another
        1:42
        Characteristics of Correlation
        2:01
        Describes Strength of Relationship
        2:02
        Measured by Formula; Result Always Between -1 and +1
        2:09
        Statistically Impossible For Value to be Greater Than +1 or Less Than -1.
        2:27
        Regardless of Being Positive or Negative The Stronger Correlation Value is the One Furthest From Zero
        2:51
        Look for Association or Relationship Between Two Variables to Determine Correlation
        3:28
        Formula
        4:19

        Causation
        4:57
        Remember Correlation Does Not Equal Causation
        4:59
        An Existing Strong Relationship Doesn't Mean One Creates the Other
        5:02
        Example: The Relationship Between Crime and Unemployment

        0:24
        Nature Versus Nurture
        0:34
        Nature Refers to Heredity, a Person's Biological Makeup

        DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the Means by Which Heredity Characteristics Pass From One Generation to the Next
        2:49
        Fraternal Twins are Dizygotic Twins That Develop From the Union of Two Separate Sperms and Eggs
        3:06
        Identical Twins are Monozygotic Twins That Develop From the Union of the Same Egg and Sperm That Have Split and Have Exactly the Same Genotype (May Have the Same Genes, But Not Necessarily the Same Number of Copies of Those Genes)
        3:28
        Genetic Building Blocks
        4:13
        The Human Body Contains 100 Trillion Cells
        4:16
        There is a Nucleus Inside Each Human Cell (Except Red Blood Cells)
        4:27
        Each Nucleus Contains 46 Chromosomes, Arranged in 23 Pairs
        4:34
        One Chromosome of Every Pair is From Each Parent
        4:49
        The Chromosomes are Filled With Tightly Coiled Strands of DNA.
        4:53
        Genes are Segments of DNA That Contain Instructions to Make Proteins -- The Building Blocks of Life

        DNA
        5:47
        Linked Molecules (Organic Bases) Make Up the Rungs on DNA's Twisted Molecular Ladder. The Order of These Molecules Serves as a Code for Genetic Information
        5:49
        The Code Provides a Genetic Blueprint That is Unique for Each Individual (Except Identical Twins). The Drawing Shows Only a Small Section of a DNA Strand. An Entire Strand of DNA is Composed of Billions of Smaller Molecules
        6:04
        The Nucleus of Each Cell in the Body Contains Chromosomes Made up of Tightly Wound Coils of DNA.
        6:25
        Don't be Misled By the Drawing: Chromosomes are Microscopic in Size, and the Chemical Molecules That Make Up DNA are Even Smaller

        Temperament: The Physical Core of Personality; Includes Sensitivity, Irritability, Distractibility, and Typical Mood
        9:56
        Easy Children: 40% Relaxed and Agreeable
        10:09
        Difficult Children: 10% Moody, Intense, Easily Angered

        10:55
        Environment

        14:14
        Some Research Conclusions
        14:19
        Shared Genes Can Also Mean a Shared Experience -- Most, Not All, Identical Twins Share Placentas
        14:25
        A Person Whose Identical Twin Has Alzheimer's Has a 60% Chance of Getting It; Fraternal Twin, Only 30%.
        14:44
        On Extraversion and Neuroticism (Emotional Stability), Identical Twins are More Alike Than Fraternal Twins
        14:58
        Divorce -- If Fraternal Twin Divorced, Your Odds Increase 1.6 Times; If Identical Twin Divorced, Odds Go Up 5.5 Times
        15:24
        The Jim Twins
        16:03
        Separated at Birth -- Reconnected After 38 Years
        16:09
        Both Named Jim (Lewis and Springer)
        16:13
        Both Liked Woodworking, Driving their Chevy Cars, Watching Stock-Car Races, and Drinking Miller Lite.
        16:19
        Both Had Nearly Identical Voices
        16:28
        Personalities, Intelligence, Heart Rates and Brain Waves -- Nearly Identical
        16:35
        It Would Seem Genes Had a Profound Impact on Personality -- But the Question Remains to This Day -- Just How Much?
        16:40
        But This is Anecdote, What About Real Data?
        16:52
        Big Conclusion
        17:00
        The Environment Shared By A Family's Children Has Virtually No Identifiable Impact on Personalities of Children
        17:04
        But Why? Geneticists Are Working on It.
        17:12
        But What About Family Life?
        17:47
        So, The Question For You -- Would You Be the Same Person if You Had Been Raised in a Different Family or Culture?
        17:56
        Heritability
        18:32
        The Proportion of Variation Among Members of a Group That We Can Attribute to Genes
        18:40
        So This Compares, Within Populations, Genotypes (Genetic Makeup) and Phenotypes (The Outward, Physical Manifestation of the Organism) on Specific Traits
        19:14
        This Difference Involves Mathematics and Analysis That is Far Beyond This Course -- Take AP Bio or Genetics for Mendelian Genetics
        19:34
        Heritability
        20:00
        It is Not Behaviors That Are Inherited, But Genetic Predispositions That May Lead to the Behavior
        20:03
        Heritable Differences Between Individuals Does Not Imply Heritable Group Differences
        21:23
        Genes and Interaction
        21:43
        Interaction: The Interplay When the Effect of One Factor (Such as Environment) Depends on Another Factor (Such as Heredity)
        21:47
        Genes and Environment Work Together (Like Two Hands Clapping). Genes Code for Proteins But Also Respond to Environments
        21:55
        Example: Happy Baby Draws in More Adults Who Respond to the Happiness With Warmth of Their Own -- This Can Become a Cycle, With the Happy Baby Becoming More Outgoing and Socially Confident
        22:39
        This Kind of Interaction Can Be Applied to Virtually Any Trait, Especially Anxiety and Depression
        23:17
        Natural Selection and Adaptation
        24:20
        Only the Strong Survive is a Myth -- It's the Ones With the Most Adaptive Traits For Their Environment
        24:25
        Evolutionary Psychology: The Study of the Evolution of Behavior and the Mind, Using Principles of Natural Selection
        24:42
        Natural Selection: The Principle That, Among the Range of Inherited Trait Variations, Those That Lead to Increased Reproduction and Survival Will Most Likely Be Passed on to Succeeding Generations
        24:55
        Mutation: The Random Error in Gene Replication That Leads to Change
        25:35
        Evolutionary Psychology
        25:50
        Evolutionary Success Helps Explain Similarities Among People
        25:54
        However, We Have Some Outdated Tendencies -- Some Genetic Traits That Were Previously Helpful May Harm Us Today
        26:42
        Evolutionary Psychology, Continued
        28:07
        Examines Psychological Traits Such as Memory, Perception and Language Using Modern Evolutionary Perspective
        28:10
        Which Human Psychological Traits Are Evolved Adaptations -- That is, The Products of Natural or Sexual Selection?
        28:18
        Examples Could Include an Ability to Infer Emotions of Others, Discern Kin From Non-Kin, Identify and Prefer Healthier Mates, and Cooperate With Others
        28:27

        31:47
        Looks at Modern Traits and Looks Backward to Propose an Explanation (Similar Criticism of Freud)
        31:50
        What About the Social Implications? What Does it Mean for Our Desire to Reduce Prejudice and Discrimination? What About Our Moral Responsibilities?
        32:13
        What About Cultural Differences That Seem to Work Against Evolutionary Explanations?

        7:40
        Absolute Threshold
        8:22
        The Minimum Stimulation Necessary to Detect a Particular Stimulus 50% of the Time
        8:26
        Exploited by Students Who May Use the Mosquito Ringtone to Evade Phone Use in Class
        8:44
        Vision -- Candle Flame Seen at 30 Miles on a Clear Dark Night
        9:20
        Hearing -- Tick of a Watch Under Quiet Conditions at 20 Feet (The Buzz of the Fluorescent Lights in a Quiet Room)
        9:51
        Taste -- One Teaspoon Sugar in 2 Gallons of Water
        10:28
        Smell -- One Drop Perfume Diffused Into a Three-Room Apartment
        10:42

        Difference Threshold
        11:11
        The Minimum Difference Between Two Stimuli Required for Detection. We Experience the Difference Threshold as a Just Noticeable Difference (JND).
        11:14
        The Detectable Difference Increases With the Magnitude -- is Done in a Constant Proportion
        11:32
        E.g. You Will Notice is One Ounce is Added to a 10 Ounce Weight, But Not if One Ounce is Added to a 100-Ounce Weight

        Signal Detection
        13:21
        A Theory Predicting How and When We Detect the Presence of a Faint Stimulus (Signal) Amid Background Stimulation (Noise).
        13:27
        Assumes There is no Absolute Threshold and that Detection Depends Partly on a Person's Experience, Expectations, Motivation, and Alertness

        Sensory Adaptation
        15:47
        AKA Neural Adaptation
        15:54
        Neural or Sensory Receptors Change/Reduce Their Sensitivity to a Continuous, Unchanging Stimuli
        16:04
        This Occurs in the Brain at an Unconscious Level
        16:11
        E.g. The Smell of Your Own Car or Home
        16:22
        E.g. Adapting to Hot or Cold Water After a Brief Time in It.
        17:12
        E.g. The Eyes Adjusting to a Darker Room -- Rods and Cones Will Fire Differently to Adjust (Cones Take About 10 Minutes, the Rods 30 Minutes to Fully Adapt)

        19:45
        People Look at the Big Picture, the Whole, Try to Find Patterns to Make Meaning and Then Examine the Details (We Use Background Knowledge to Fill Gaps)
        20:03

        Bottom-Up Processing (AKA Feature Analysis)
        22:47
        Analysis That Begins With the Sensory Receptors And Works Up to the Brain's Integration of Sensory Information
        22:55
        Works From the Details and Moves Out to the Whole Picture
        23:06
        Inductive Reasoning -- Going From the Examples First and Working One's Way Out to the General Propositions -- Uses Probabilities Based Upon Specific Observations
        23:17
        Based Upon Current Knowledge, So Potentially Biased (e.g. Confirmation Bias, Availability Heuristic, Illusory Correlation)
        23:39
        e.g. Since 100% of Bio Life Forms Depend on Liquid Water to Exist, if We Were to Discover a New Bio Form, It Will Probably Depend on Liquid Water to Exist

        Theories of Sound/Hearing
        9:10
        How Do We Hear Certain Pitches or Tones
        9:14
        Place Theory Says That Hair Cells in the Cochlea Respond to Different Frequencies of Sound Based Upon Where They Are in the Cochlea
        9:19
        Pitch Theory Indicates That Some Hair Cells Sense the Upper Range and Some Hair Cells Respond to the Lower Range.
        10:00
        Lower Tones are Sensed By the Rate at Which The Cells Fire. We Sense Pitch Because the Hair Cells Fire at Different Rates (Frequencies) in the Cochlea
        10:08
        Auditory Frequencies of Humans
        10:29
        Audible Range of Frequencies is Usually 20-20,000 Hz.
        10:43
        This Means 20 to 20K Vibrations Per Second
        11:05
        One Hertz is One Vibration Per Second
        11:11
        Ultrasound (Higher Frequency) -- We Cannot Perceive -- Beyond Our Upper Limit (e.g. Dog Whistle and Bats With Echolocation)
        11:22
        Infrasound (Lower Frequency) -- We Can Not Perceive

        Diagram of Hearing Continuum -- What Humans Can and Can Not Hear
        14:50
        How Do We Detect Higher and Lower Sounds?
        17:02
        Frequency Theory: As Pitch Rises, Nerve Impulses of a Corresponding Frequency Travel Up the Auditory Nerve That Matches the Frequency of the Tone
        17:12
        This Enables Us To Perceive Pitch
        17:22
        Place Theory: Higher and Lower Tones Excite Specific Areas of the Cochlea -- See Previous Graphic

        23:32
        Sensory Conflict Theory: Motion Sickness Results From a Mismatch Between Information From Vision, Vestibular System, and Kinesthesis
        23:36
        Medications, Relaxation, and Lying Down Might Help
        24:17

        25:14
        Types of Pain
        26:51
        Warning System: Pain Carried by Large Nerve Fibers; Sharp, Bright, Fast Pain That Tells You Body Damage May Be Occurring (e.g. Knife Cut)
        26:57
        Reminding System: Small Nerve Fibers: Slower, Nagging, Aching, Widespread; Gets Worse if Stimulus is Repeated; Reminds System That Body has Been Injured
        27:29
        Gate-Control Theory of Pain
        28:16
        Sensory (Afferent) Receptors That Respond to Damaging Tissue (or Other Noxious Stimuli) Are Pain Receptors or Nociceptors
        28:21
        The More the Neurons Fire, The More Intense the Pain
        28:38
        Theory That Pain Messages From Different Nerve Fibers Pass Through the Same Neural Gate in the Spinal Cord
        28:42
        If Gate is Closed by One Pain Message, Other Messages May Not be Able to Pass Through
        28:50
        Substance P is a Neuropeptide (regulatory) Neurotransmitter -- Along With Other NTs Can Increase Neural Inflammation
        29:38
        Adaptation, Attention, and Sensory Gating
        30:22
        Sensory Adaptation: When Sensory Receptors Respond Less to Unchanging Stimuli
        30:28
        Perceptual Adaptation (Sensory Habituation): One's Perceptions of Senses Depends Upon How Focused We Are on Them
        32:03
        Adaptation, Attention, and Sensory Gating
        32:44
        Selective Attention: Voluntarily Focusing on a Specific Sensory Input
        32:46
        Sensory Gating: Facilitating or Blocking Sensory Messages in the Spinal Cord
        34:17
        Controlling Pain
        34:32
        Fear, or High Levels of Anxiety, Almost Always Increase Pain
        34:35
        If You Can Regulate a Painful Stimulus, You Have Control Over It
        34:46
        Distraction Can Also Significantly Reduce Pain
        35:07
        The Interpretation You Give A Stimulus Also Affects Pain

        Perceptual Constancy
        3:04
        Perceiving Objects as Unchanging (Having Consistent Shapes, Sizes, Lightness, and Color) Even as Illumination and Retinal Images Change
        3:11
        Color Constancy
        3:33
        Perceiving Familiar Objects as Having Consistent Color, Even if Changing Illumination Alters the Wavelengths Reflected by the Object

        Shape Constancy
        4:35
        Although Our Viewing Angle May Change or the Object May Rotate, We Still See the Object as Staying the Same Shape
        4:39
        e.g. When We See a Door -- Closed, Partially Open, Mostly Open -- From the Same Angle

        Crime Example
        2:52
        When a Professor Was in College, He Was Robbed at Gun Point by a Young Man Who Gave Him the Choice (Your Money or Your Life) It was an Unexpected and Frightening Experience
        2:55
        This Event Occurred At Just About Dusk and for a Long Time Thereafter, He Often Experienced Moments of Dread in the Late Afternoons Particularly When He Was Just Walking Around the City
        3:05
        Even Though He Was Quite Safe, The Lengthening Shadows of the Day Were So Strongly Associated With the Dear He Experienced in the Robbery, That He Could Not But Help Feel the Emotion All Over
        3:16
        Label the Crime Experience
        4:15
        Threat (UCS) --> Fear (UCR) then Dusk + Robbery Became Dusk (CS) --> Fear (CR)

        Alcoholism
        4:56
        Another Way to Treat Alcoholics is to Have Them Take a Drug Called Antabuse (Disulfiram). If They Ingest Any Alcohol at All, They Will Have Serious Vomiting Issues. The Desire is to Pair the Vomiting With the Alcoholic Drink.

        Chart Looking at Positive/Negative (Adding or Removing Stimulus And Reinforcement vs. Punishment
        0:16
        Escape Conditioning
        1:12
        Escape Conditioning Occurs When the Animal Learns to Perform an Operant to Terminate an Ongoing, Aversive Stimulus. It is a Get Me Out of Here or Shut This Off Reaction, Aimed at Escape From Pain or Annoyance. The Behavior That Produces Escape is Negatively Reinforced (Reinforced by the Elimination of the Unpleasant Stimulus).
        1:15
        Avoidance Conditioning
        2:52
        When an Organism Learns to Avoid Unpleasant or Punishing Stimuli by Learning the Appropriate Anticipatory Response to Protect it From Further Stimuli (Learns a Cue Before the Stimuli -- Follows Escape Conditioning)
        2:56
        Occurs Quickly and is Very Durable.
        3:18
        e.g. If You Sounded a Tone Before You Electrified the Platform. After One or Two Trials, the Rat Would Respond to the Tone by Jumping Into the Water. It Would Not Wait for the Shock.
        3:53
        This is a Form of Stimulus Control, Because it Puts Behavior Under Control of a Stimulus, in This Case, the Warning Tone.
        4:08
        Avoidance Behaviors are Incredibly Persistent. This is True When There is No Longer Anything to Avoid.
        4:15
        Schedules of Reinforcement
        5:17
        Continuous Reinforcement: Every Instance of a Behavior Occurs is Reinforced
        5:33
        Partial (Intermittent) Reinforcement -- Reinforcing a Response Only Part of the Time; Results in Slower Acquisition of a Response But Much Greater Resistance to Extinction Than Does Continuous Reinforcement
        5:44
        Ratio Schedules: Reinforcement is Based on the Number of Behaviors Required
        6:34
        Interval Schedules: Reinforcement is Based on the Passage of Time
        6:39
        Variable -- Uncertain Number of Times/Behaviors
        6:44
        Fixed -- Certain Number of Times/Behaviors
        6:49
        Immediate v. Delayed Reinforcers -- Like Pavlov and Contiguity, the Longer the Delay, the Less, the Connection.

        Problems in Problem Solving
        5:33
        Confirmation Bias: A Tendency to Search for Information That Supports Our Preconceptions and to Ignore or Distort Contradictory Evidence -- We Are Uncomfortable With Cognitive Dissonance
        5:37
        Fixation: The Inability to See a Problem From a Fresh Point of View -- This Relates to How We See/Define a Problem -- Can Lead to Others
        6:58
        More Problems: Representative Heuristic
        8:55
        Representative Heuristic: Judging the Likelihood of Things in Terms of How Well They Seem to Represent, or Match, Particular Prototypes; May Lead Us to Ignore Other Relevant Information.
        9:04
        More Problems: Representative Heuristic
        10:59
        e.g. A Person Might Judge a Young Person More Likely to Commit Suicide Because of a Prototype of the Depressed Adolescent -- The Reality is That Suicide Rates are Not Higher in Younger Populations
        11:01
        More Problems: Availability Heuristic
        12:02
        Availability Heuristic: Estimating the Likelihood of Events Based on Their Availability in Memory; If Instances Come Readily to Mind (Perhaps Because of Their Vividness), We Presume Such Events are Common
        12:06
        We May Fear Flying Because of 9/11 or Some Other Notable Event -- This Influences Our Thinking

        8:41
        Motivation is a Psychological Feature That Arouses an Organism to Act Toward a Goal and Elicits, Controls, and Sustains Certain Goal-Directed Behaviors
        8:46
        Incentives -- Something That Motivates an Individual to Perform an Action -- Within Economics, Incentives are External Rewards to Draw Out Particular Desired Behaviors
        9:26
        Motives are Internal, Incentives are External

        Primary Motive: Innate (Inborn) Motives Based on Biological Needs That Must Be Met to Survive
        15:56
        Stimulus Motive: Needs For Stimulation and Information; Appear to be Innate, But Not Necessary for Survival

        Arousal Theory
        17:09
        People Will Do Certain Actions to Maintain Certain Optimal Levels of Physiological Arousal. If the Level is Too High, They Will Seek to Relax. If Level is too Low, They Will Seek Out Action or Something That Stimulates Them
        17:18
        Based Upon Individual and Situation -- Highly Variable
