Document Summary
Psyc 102 - introductory psychology - lecture 20: social psychology. We are social in three ways: we think about other people, we develop relationships with them, we are influenced by them. These are the three sections of chapter 13. We are in interaction with one another. Key part of our humanity: engaging with other people. The power that environment has on us. Different social context result in different behaviors.

Recall schachter"s 2-factor theory: emotion = affect and condition. Effects of ambiguous arousal on interpersonal attraction.

Experimenter interviewed every guy walking alone across either bridge. She asked them to do a brief survey: all agreed. She gave the participant a debriefing sheet (including her phone number)
