Observer bias when our biased undermines our own knowledge. Demand characteristics when participants are subtly told what to the experience expect to find out from the study. Conformity when we change our behaviour based on others without an order. Normative conformity -our behaviour is affected not our thoughts, to meet the expectation of others. Information conformity thoughts and thinking are affected, thus behaviour changes because thinking changes. Social facilitation in the presence of other, it makes effort based behaviour easier: ex, gym, we perform better when there are people around. Social inhibition intricate highly skilled behaviour (performance) is inhibited when others are present. Actor-observer bias believe our own behaviour is due to external factors. False uniqueness effect a tendency to think of ourselves as different from others. Fundamental attribution error humans have a tendency to attribute other people behaviour to internal factors. Bjw believe in a just world believe that people get what they deserved.
