PSY 301 Emotional Intelligence Complete Class

PSY 301 Week 1 DQ 1 Social Psychology (New)

Discuss the history of social psychology and describe the critical role this field of study
has played in helping us to understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of
individuals throughout its evolution. Which key research developments have helped to
define social psychology and differentiate it from other fields of study? What theoretical
constructs are inherent in social psychology principles?
PSY 301 Week 1 DQ 2 The Acting Self (New)

As Feenstra (2011) states in your textbook:

Social psychologists are interested in who we are. Our sense of self is affected by what
we know about the self and by the people around us. The self is a powerful force. The
self affects how we feel, what we think we can do, and what we in fact do. (pg. 32).

Expanding on the quotation above, describe how individuals develop a self-concept and
self-schema. Discuss the cultural, social, and environmental influences on that
development. In what ways does our sense of self determine how we think about others
and how we interact with individuals and groups of people? What is the significance of
the acting self? In your response, be sure to address at least three of the key concepts
presented in Table 2.2 of the reading.
Respond substantively to at least two of your classmates posts.

PSY 301 Week 2 Assignment Prejudice, Stereotypes, and

Discrimination (New)

PSY 301 Week 2 Assignment Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination (New)

PSY 301 Week 2 DQ 1 Attitude and Behavior (New)

Reflect on the relationship between personal attitudes and resulting behaviors, using
the Theory of Planned Behavior, Cognitive Dissonance Theory, and Self-Perception
Theory as your references. If someone has a negative attitude toward a particular
individual or group, for example, what are the potential implications of their behavior
toward that individual or group? How do implicit and explicit attitudes differ?
Go to the Project Implicit website and take theImplicit Association Test
(https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/). Choose any test within the demonstration

category. After retrieving the results of your test, share them with your classmates and
consider their accuracy. Were you surprised by your results? Do they accurately portray
your attitude toward the group? Do you think these types of tests are reliable in
measuring prejudice? Please explain your answer.

PSY 301 Week 2 DQ 2 Attributions (New)

Examine the role of attributions in our social world. What are attributions, and how do
we use them in our daily lives? Discuss the differences between internal and external
attributions and describe the fundamental attribution error. For example, what would be
the explanatory style of a person who makes internal, stable, and global attributions for
positive things and external, unstable, and specific attributions for negative things? Also
consider the individual who does the opposite; what does this behavior tell us about the
person?

PSY 301 Week 3 Assignment Persuasion Who, What, To Whom (New)

To complete the following assignment, go to this weeks Assignment link in the left
navigation.
Persuasion: Who, What, To Whom

As we explore persuasion, we can divide the persuasive communication into three

parts: the communicator, the message, and the audience. First, we will deal with what
characteristics of persuaders make people more likely to be persuaded. Next, we will
think about characteristics of the message that lead people to change. Finally, we will
explore what characteristics of the audience can lead them to be persuaded. (Feenstra,
2011, p. 88).
For your assignment this week, provide an in-depth analysis of the three parts of
persuasion. Please reference the bullet points below to complete your assignment.

Who Describe the Characteristics of the Persuader. What influences our

ability to become persuaded by someone? What specific characteristics must
this person possess? Be sure to address the impact of credibility, physical
attractiveness and likeability in your response. Why do we respond well to those
possessing such characteristics? Would we respond the same to an unattractive,
angry, non-credible person? Why not?

What Discuss the Characteristics of the Message: What types of attributes

are inherent in persuasive messages? How are we influenced by the emotion,
framing, messages, narratives and rational appeals in the messaging we
receive? What is the significance of the sleeper effect?

To Whom Examine the Characteristics of the Audience. Why do different

audiences perceive messages in different ways? What is the role of culture,
gender, and self-esteem in this process? How does the elaboration likelihood
model help to explain the relationship between the persuader, the message,
and the audience?

Review the excerpt from p. 97 of your textbook: Social Psychology in Depth:

Word of Mouth and Persuasion. How does the e-word of mouth phenomena
illustrate the concepts above? Please be specific in your response.
Include an introduction, thesis statement, and conclusion. Your completed
assignment must be 3-4 pages in length (excluding title and reference pages),
and must follow APA guidelines. Include a minimum of 3 APA references.

PSY 301 Week 3 DQ 1 Persuasion Techniques (New)

Table 8.1 in your textbook highlights various techniques used in persuasive messaging,
including foot-in-the door, low-ball, door-in-the face, reciprocity, etc. After examining all
the techniques, choose three to address in your discussion. For each of the three,
describe the processes involved, and explain why such techniques are successful in
persuading certain audiences, but are likely to fail with others. In addition, examine the
overall resistance to persuasion. Although they may be undesirable, are we more
vulnerable to these messages than we think?

PSY 301 Week 3 DQ 2 Obedience and Conformity (New)

By most definitions, if we are persuaded by an individual, we are said to be obedient to

that individual. If we are persuaded by a group, we are said to have conformed to that
groups objectives. Compare and contrast the core differences between these two
concepts. In what ways do group and individual persuasion techniques differ? As social
beings, why are we naturally prone to conformity and obedience?
For this discussion, please review Solomon Aschs (1958) study of conformity. The
results of this study, demonstrate how many of the individual participants conformed to
the group despite the fact that the group was clearly wrong, and the individuals were
clearly right. In addition, watch the video on theABC New Primetime: Milgram

Experiment Update video. Through this experiment we observe how perceptions of

authority directly influence obedience. For example, even when the action ordered by
the authority figure caused physical harm, the participants were still obedient. What are
some explanations for this type of behavior? Can you think of an example of when you
disregarded your own desires or values for the sake of obedience or conformity?

PSY 301 Week 4 Asssignment Power of Love and Relationships

(New)

Clcik Link Below To Purchase:

To complete the following assignment, go to this weeks Assignment link in the left
navigation.
Power of Love and Relationship
For this assignment, please address each of the items below:

Describe the factors of attraction. What attracts us to one another? Why are
we less likely to befriend someone from another culture than someone from a
similar background with a similar physical aesthetic? Be sure to identify and
describe all (6) factors in attraction.

Discuss the human need to build bonds and relationships. Do we have an

innate need to belong? If so, why? How is this need attached to our emotions,
our social bonds, and our fear of deprivation?

Explain the three types of love: companionate, passionate, and

compassionate. What are the differences and similarities between the three?
What is an example of each type? How does Sternbergs Triangular Theory of
Love distinguish romantic love, for example, from empty love or infatuation?
Please thoroughly address each of the components in figure 14.1.

Include an introduction, thesis statement, and conclusion. Your completed assignment

must be 3-4 pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and must follow APA
guidelines. Include a minimum of 2-3 APA references.

PSY 301 Week 4 DQ 1 Altruism and ProsocialBehavior (New)

Examine the concept of altruism and altruistic behavior. What does it mean for someone
to behave altruistically? What is gained from this action, and how does it differ from
egoistic behavior? What are some reasons why people would want to help one another,
without regard for personal gain or benefit? In addition, explain the bystander effect. If
we all have a genuine desire to help one another, why is the effect so common? How
can we prevent it from occurring?

PSY 301 Week 4 DQ 2 Aggression (New)

Although we label some behaviors as aggressive, we also neglect a multitude of other

actions that qualify as aggressive behaviors. As mentioned in your textbook, what
matters is the intent of the action, not necessarily the action itself.
Describe the various origins of aggressive behavior, and discuss the gender differences
in how aggression is developed and presented. Additionally, describe the aggression
cues that we encounter in our social world through the media, the presence of weapons,
alcohol and drug consumption, the environment, etc. How do these cues influence our
capacity to behave in an aggressive manner?

PSY 301 Week 5 DQ 1 Groupthink (New)

Watch the Groupthink video, and explain why the concept of groupthink doesnt
necessarily have a positive connotation. Describe what groupthink refers to, and
discuss the conditions that must be present in order for this process to occur. What are
the characteristics of groupthink, and what are the potential consequences of the
groups decision making process? Your textbook provides a few historical examples of
when groupthink led our country in the wrong direction. Can you offer a current example
of this perhaps from the perspective of pop culture?
Include 1 APA reference in your post.

PSY 301 Week 5 DQ 2 Social Dilemmas (New)

There are three social dilemmas presented in Chapter 15 of your textbook: tragedy of
the commons or the commons dilemma, resource dilemma, and prisoners dilemma.
Choose two of these concepts to discuss, and explain how each is related to social
problems in society. How did these problems originate, and what can we do to improve
or eliminate them? What recommendations do you have? Please provide a minimum of
two recommendations.

Social Psychology: Bringing It All Together
Social psychologists investigate how we view ourselves and others, how we interact
with others, how we influence others, and how we act when we are part of a group.
