Document Summary
Groups have social norms to guide behaviour: prescription for behaviour, values, beliefs, berkeley"s naked guy. Violation of norms: punished/rejected if we break norms because we are expected to conform. Have well-defined social roles: group expectations, behaviours, responsibilities from group members, classic gender roles in traditional family, punished and rejected from group if don"t conform, strong situation overcome individual differences, stanford prison experiment. Vary in levels of group cohesiveness: the degree to which a group is or perceived to be close knit and similar to each other, sorority groups example. Promotes liking and ingroupfavouritism: minds of outsiders. Research ethics: always can withdrawal from an experiment as a participant. Can retrieve your data and destroy it. Can stop experiment if researcher notices that the participant is in distress. Dual role: zombardo was superintended and financial/researcher. Cannot do this experiment now because it is ethically wrong, complex relationships.
