Document Summary
How you think about others and how others think about you. Social psychology definition gordon allport, influential researcher. Thoughts, feelings and behaviours are abcs of social psych (affects: any kind of emotional experience; behaviour: broadly defined, anything outside yourself that others observe; cognition: how we think about others. Def"n influenced by actual, imagined or implied presence of [others] example: video of two monkeys (capuchins) in cages where an experimenter does a basic learning experiment. If the monkey takes the token (given by the experimenter) and gives it back, they get a reward (monkey sees what other monkey is receiving). If other monkey gets a grape and he gets a cucumber, he throws it out of the cage/doesn"t take it and eventually doesn"t take the token (inequity aversion). [capuchins like cucumbers, but like grapes even more] Things we test are in the mind (not observable, such as length of leaves or bugs) and that is unique.
