PSYC 2000 Chapter : Ch 12 Outline Social Psychology
Document Summary
Clicker: it is your first day at a new school. Over the course of the day you realize that practically everyone who is anyone is wearing a certain type of shoe. Over the course of the next few days, you purchase some of these shoes for yourself and begin to wear them to school. This is an example of conformity: you believe that is important to give back to the community, yet when you are asked to do so you say no. You feel a little uncomfortable about this and tell yourself that you just don"t have time to devote to others right now. Only those who have the time need to give back to the community. This is an example of cognitive dissonance: i see someone trip and i say that person is a klutz . Then later i trip and i say that stupid root it made me trip .
