SOCIOMETRY ( SLIDE 35)
Sociometry – is a method to collect data from inds (slide 35)
→ both meso and macro
→ Who do you like to work with?, same question – across whether it be a
big group or small
→ different connections – with very different items
→ sociograms – group structures – very simple questions and asked all the
inds the same question.
→ social network analysis – may choose a social network
social network analysis – is a set of procedures studying the relational
structures of groups mathematically and graphically
highly cohesive groups contain substantial proportions of reciprocity and
very few isolated members
→ KNOW the slide – for sociometric structures – KNOW each one (slide 35)
1. Stars (popular) well liked, picked by many inds at the question “who d
you like to work with?
2. unpopular – rejected – not picked by many people
3. Isolates – more independent and not segmented by many people
4. pairs – 2 members – who like each other and have reciprocal bonds
5. clusters – subgroups – how small groups emerge and get bigger through
all these different connections
sociograms on slide 36 –
do not need to know images but know the structures.
SHOULD ALWAYS ASK THE SAME QUESTION ACROSS ALL INDS
DISADVANTAGE OF SELF REPORT TEST: (slide 38)
- ARE HELPFUL - and can collect al ot of info in short period of time
- can consume a lot of meaning full data
1. social desirability
- will give what others like to feel.
- how would they wantme to
- lacks the honesty – you lower the amount of reliability and validity

2. Faking "good"
- overly positive impression
- is faking good – to each possible item or majority of items or some items
- 5 point likert scale – always to never. You know why you actually taking
the assessment – u would give an extra. Like I want to look good in eyes of
others. Overpositive inflammation of yourself
3. Faking “bad”
- there are some that give an overly negative impression of themselves
- someone would fake bad or fake impression
- therapy or lawyer, they may not represent myself and if I lower myself and
make myself look bad → than you someone can give you help and
responsibility
- some who like to have a lower responsibility – lower bar for starting point
for people. Due to the expectations that come with it
4. Random Responding
- some are random and some have an actual systems. Each one of these 4 –
will give you
- self report information and give you charts
watch video online !! for the rest of chapter 2.
CHAPTER 3 – THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP
slide 2:
who am i? what processes influence your self and social concept?
What processes transform an ind’s sense of self into a collective, social
identity?
will talk about yourself and what groups you are part of
How do you go from being this person and who is all about their individual
needs. How they transform from individual to Group orientated person.

THE NEED TO BELONG:
1. Baumeister and Leary
→ it's a need to connect
→ all humans have a pervasive drive and maintain a long lasting positive
and connections with people
biologically, socially and cognitively → affects you
how is the development from an only child in comparison
→ evolutionary paradigm or perspective – groups early on – for describing
groups. Groups are very helpful for adaptation and basic needs.
need people to be safe, needed inds to be able to get your food and water.
You needed others - to connect + reproduce. Groups were able to fulfill your
basic needs. Most basic needs are still taken care by groups.
→ people often make decisions for us – like grocery stories. Still is true
today in regards to your drives and motives. Our groups impact us at a
higher group and level
Baumeister and Leary - believe that groups are such of importance - that
without it people are rendered and incapacitated
many times you do not know what you would do exactly → see someone
positively or negatively do something. WE are not just born of infinite
amount of wisdom without any capacity of help. People cannot go up without
others.
DAnny story and over the window
hierarchy of needs:
- need to know him – Abraham Maslow
- motivational model must know him for exam
- theoretical model is more about humanistic
- was known for hierarchy of needs
- he ranked and ordered – for the lowest order needs to the highest order
needs.
NEED TO KNOW his 5 STAGE model
- one stage to the other.
Cannot go from one model to the other

2015-10-06 12:52:00 am (continued week on studying groups) Sociometry is a method to collect data from inds (slide 35) Who do you like to work with?, same question across whether it be a big group or small. Different connections with very different items. Sociograms group structures very simple questions and asked all the inds the same question. Should always ask the same question across all inds. Are helpful - and can collect al ot of info in short period of time. Can consume a lot of meaning full data: social desirability. Will give what others like to feel. Lacks the honesty you lower the amount of reliability and validity: faking good Is faking good to each possible item or majority of items or some items. 5 point likert scale always to never.
