Document Summary
Social psychology lecture 8- culture, social power, and hierarchy. What is culture? culture is always changing you can influence your culture and your culture affects you. Identity: how much you identify (feel) to you culture (nationality or ethnicity) - moderator. Metaphysics: belief about why we are here (creation story) This creates a greater cooperation in the group. Research usually sees individualist and collectivist as a dichotomy (where a group is either collectivist or individualist (not both)) this is found not to be true because you can be collectivist and individualist at the same time. Government constrains the culture and really affects the culture. Culture is affected by your environment (e. g. : inuit who live in the arctic) Research that not everyone thinks the same (in words) If you are doing something that is interrupting your thought process (articulatory suppression) then you make more errors what most researcher thought.
