PSYC 3320 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation, Extraversion And Introversion, Neuroticism
Document Summary
You"ll think better of someone who is in your group than who"s out of your group: minimal group paradigm. Really easy to create a sense of unity. Doesn"t take much to be considered a part of a group: what happens when failures occur? (when your group starts to fail?) Blame is shifted to other members or external things. Dissociating yourself from the group: ex: when your basketball team loses. Ex: our score was bad, but at least we did really well on the powerpoint portion. Pi vs. si: we have a need to be assimilated (a need to belong, we have a need to be different as well, optimal distinctiveness. Balancing the two; a part of a group but also recognized as being unique. Traits that are more drawn to groups (extroverts) Emotions change from moment to moment: openness to experience. People who are willing to be open to new ideas: agreeableness (associated with people"s willingness to join groups)
