PSYC 2040 Chapter : Chapter 7
Document Summary
We see this in infants when infants are born, they want to see and hear humans. They have some behaviors like crying and cooing that they do in order to attract other people to them. Internal determinants of attraction: social influences: threatening situations (e. g. , natural disasters) may increase the need for affiliation. If you are experiencing a negative event, we like to compare notes with other people. This is a fictional book that aliens attack the earth. People started tuning in mid-way through this book and people started thinking that aliens were attacking new york. People started coming out of their houses and talking with their neighbors: basically you sign up for an experiment. You show up and sign an informed consent tell you that you are in a memory research: you are getting a mild shock or a severe shock if you answered a question incorrectly. When they read that, they had the opportunity to turn around and leave.
