3. 100 These are written or unwritten rules for behavior.

4. You may be subject to these if you break a social rule. 200

5. A social position governed by a set of rules for behavior.

6. �Big boys don�t cry� is an example such a rule.

7. 500 Fred is an affectionate father at home, but is stern and harsh in his job as a police officer. This example shows the power of these on behavior.

8. 100 The psychologist who conducted famous studies on obedience.

9. The percentage of subjects in the obedience study who delivered 450 volts of electricity (the top if the scale).

10. 300 Some critics of the obedience study say this study was this because subjects were not fully informed and the study caused subjects psychological stress.

11. 400 We are taught that a legitimate authority figure is to be obeyed. So it�s not surprising when subjects did not obey when this person was giving the orders.

12. 500 Although the victim�s cries of pain didn�t reduce obedience; this location of the victim did decrease obedience.

13. 100 This reason people obey authority is illustrated in the excuse, �It�s not my fault, I was just following orders.�

14. 200 Good etiquette can make it difficult to disobey, as in �Excuse me sir, but might you check in on the gentlemen?�.

15. 300 The name of the process in Milgram�s obedience study for each mistake the �teacher� had to give an additional 15 volts as punishment. Thus the �teacher� became gradually committed to giving higher and higher shocks.

16. 400

17. Process that may account for the feeling that now that we at war in Iraq, that we can�t get ourselves out. 500

18. 100 Typical reactions of prisoners in the Stanford prison study.

19. 200 In the Stanford prison study about 1/3 of guards were nice, about 1/3 were tough but fair, but about 1/3 were this.

20. 300 The Stanford prison study was scheduled to last for two weeks, but was ended after this many days.

21. 400 The fact that prisoners and guards showed drastic changes is behavior is due to the power of these.

22. 500 The process used in the Stanford prison study to decide who was going to be a prisoner and who was going to be a guard.

23. 100 You don�t have to read between the lines to identify this scientist who had people match lines.

24. 200 Doing what other people do. Saying what other people say.

25. 300 In Asch�s study one surprising aspect was that subjects went along with the majority even when the majority was this.

26. 400 Percent of subjects who did not conform in the line study.

27. 500 These cultures that value social harmony often show more conformity.

28. DAILY DOUBLE

30. The idea that I don�t have to help because someone else will do it.

31. All things being equal, the number of people you want to be around if you need help.

32. Getting lost in the crowd and feeling anonymous.

33. What subjects did in a study where women dressed as nurses or in KKK like disguises were asked to shock another person.

34. Phenomenon when people in a group do less work on a task because they don�t feel accountable (they can get away with it).

35.

36. Gloria is attending a new high school. The first day she wore a dress and the other students looked at her funny � they were all dressed more casually in jeans. The next day Gloria wore jeans to school to avoid the looks. The reason Gloria conformed.

37. Your boss states in a meeting that he thinks the company�s new advertisement should go in the newspaper. You think it would be better to place the ad on television. Because it�s almost time for your annual performance review, you don�t speak your mind.

38. Dilbert greatly admires Donald Trump. He even goes so far as to comb his hair like Mr. Trump. The reason behind Dilbert�s conformity.

39. In calculus your answer to a problem doesn�t agree with another student�s answer. That other student has the highest grade in the class. The reason you may change your answer.

40. Prejudice against another group � �they are bad� � is the flip side of this belief that our own groups are good.

41. The fact that prejudice can result from conflict over conflict for resources (e.g., jobs) reflects this source or function of prejudice.

42.

43. According to this theory, thinking your social group is superior to another social group results in a increase in your self-esteem.

44. The Robber�s cave study provides experimental support for this idea connected with the economic function or origin of prejudice.

45. This was the strategy used in the Robbers Cave study to reduce hostility between the groups of boys.

46. To reduce prejudice, people from different groups need to learn about each other as individuals. It is through this type of contact that people learn that we aren�t so different after all.

47. Mr. and Mrs. Snob argue that their children has ample exposure to minorities because their maid is African-American and their gardener is Mexican. Social psychologists would argue that the Snobs are violating one this condition of the �contact hypothesis�.

48. Jackie Robinson was the first African-American player in major league baseball. The team owner, the managers, and the coaches all supported his place on the team. Thus, this condition of the �contact hypothesis� was fulfilled.

49. Suppose you sponsor a charity drive for victims of the flood. You also think this would be a good time to reduce some of the prejudice that exists between LHU students and �townies�. You organize the drive by having LHU students work on a dance-a-thon and town volunteers work on a food drive. You have the support of the LHU administration and the city council. Although your intentions are good, according to the �contact hypothesis� you are missing this crucial component.

50. In a study by Latane and Darley they discovered that fewer people helped as the number of bystanders increased. Under those conditions they also discovered this about the people who did help.

51.

52. In one version of his obedience study, Milgram had another �subject� refuse to go on with the experiment. In this situation the real subject responded this way.

53. After competing in various contests, the Eagles and the Rattlers at the Robbers Cave camp dislike each other. By the the end of the study, Sherif discovered an increase in these cross-group interactions.

57. FINAL JEOPARDY CATEGORY Lessons of social psychology

58.

59. 100 What are norms?

60. What is: Social sanctions? (An answer that conveys the idea that we are often punished if we break social rules is acceptable.) 200

61. What is: A role?

62. What is: A norm?

63. 500 What is:A role?

64. 100 Who is: Stanley Milgram?

65. What is: 65%?

66. 300 What is: Unethical?

67. 400 What is: Ordinary man? (The experimenter is a legitimate authority figure because of his social status or of his expertise.)

68. 500 What is: In the same room? (If the subject could see the learner or touch the learner, they were less likely to obey the experimenter. That is, they were more likely to stop the experiment and refuse to give more shocks. )

69. 100 What is: Assuming the authority is responsible? (e.g., some subjects claimed that the experimenter made them give the shocks, so they shouldn�t be held responsible.)

70. 200 What is: Wanting to be polite? (While we are taught to be civil to authority figures, we are not taught how to disobey. Hence, we don�t have the language or the phrases to express disobedience.)

71. 300 What is: Entrapment?

72. 400 What is: Routinizing the task?

73. What is: Entrapment? 500

74. 100 What are: Apathetic or rebellious (�prisoners� either became depressed and gave up, or the rebelled against the authority of the guards.

75. 200 What is: tyrannical? (Any answer that conveys the idea that 1/3 of the guards were controlling and abuse is acceptable.)

76. 300 What is: After six days

77. 400 What is: The power of roles? (Some people also argue that students in the study were obeying the authority of the experimenters. In general, this study shows that social situations can strongly influence individuals� behavior. )

78. 500 What is: Random assignment? (Because each person had an equal chance of being either a guard or a prisoner, we know their reactions weren�t due to personality differences. The situation had a strong influence on their behavior. )

79. 100 What is: Solomon Asch?

80. 200 What is: conformity?

81. 300 What is: wrong? (Many people were surprised at the high number of people who conformed in the Asch study. The correct answer is so clear, how could anyone go along with an obvious wrong answer? Yet, many people did.)

82. 400 What is: 20%? (On at least one trial (out of 18) 80% of subjects went along with the wrong answer. This means 20% never conformed.)

83. 500 What is collectivist? (In contrast, individualist cultures value the person over the group. Conformity tends to be lower in individualist cultures, but it still occurs.)

84. What is: Diffusion of responsibility?

85. What is: one? (Witnesses sometimes suffer from bystander apathy � they don�t want to get involved. It�s easier to walk away, and not help if there are other people around � they can help. If you are the only witness, however, you alone are responsible for helping. You can pass the responsibility off to someone else.)

86. What is: deindividuation? (Your sense of individuality gets lost in the crowd, so you don�t feel as accountable, plus you can get swept up in the mood of the crowd.)

87. What is: Followed the social norms of the group they were dressed as? (Nurses are supposed to be caring and women dressed as nurses gave lower levels of shock. KKK members are supposedly violent and hateful, and women dressed as KKK gave higher levels of shock. )

88. What is: Social loafing? (People working on group tasks can be affected by diffusion of responsibility � they assume someone else will do the work. Of course, if everyone in the group responds this way, the work doesn�t get done or is of inferior quality.)

89. What is: To be accepted or liked? (She may also be conforming out of self-interest. Maybe she wants Larry to ask her out on a date and she thinks he will if she agrees with him.)

90. What is: To avoid rejection?

91. What is: Self-interest? (Wanting a good performance review may influence you to not disagree with the boss. You may also not disagree to avoid rejection by the boss.)

92. Want to be like the person? (It�s unlikely that Dilbert will actually meet Donald Trump, so it�s unlikely that he is conforming to be accepted or out of self-interest.)

93. What is: You believe the person is right?

94. What is: ethnocentrism? (Ethnocentrism, the belief that one�s racial or ethnic group is superior to other groups, helps bond us to our social groups. The downside is that it also pits us against other groups.)

95. What is: Economic?

96. What is: Social and cultural?

97. What is: Social identity theory? (This theory supports the idea that prejudice serves a psychological function. It is a way to make ourselves feel better about ourselves, but at the expense of other people.)

98. What is: Competition or conflict leads to prejudice?

99. What is: Cooperation? (Working on a shared goal.)

100. What is: Personal contact? (People need the opportunity to work and socialize with members of different groups on a formal and informal basis.)

101. What is: Do not have equal status? (The maid and the gardener are not of equal economic status compared to the Snobs. The Snob children may grow up thinking that minorities are only suited for servant positions.)

102. What is: Authorities (and community) support for egalitarian ideas?

103. What is : Personal contact? (By having students and towns people work on different projects, there will be little opportunity for one-to-one contact between individuals in the two groups. To reduce prejudice it is important for people to be able to work and socialize both formally and informally.)

104. What is: Delay in helping? (Some people did help despite the presence of other bystanders. On average, however, it took longer before these helpers acted. They may have been waiting to see if someone else did anything � diffusion of responsibility.)

105. What is: Deindividuation? (Harry appears to have become less inhibited and has lost a sense of his usual values. He also feels anonymous, and therefore less responsible for this behavior. These are both hallmarks of deindividuation.)

106. What is: Also refused to go on? (Having an ally that disobeys the experimenter, enabled subjects to also disobey.)

107. What is: friendships? (After the two groups worked together to achieve shared goals, hostility between the groups decreased and friendships were formed.)

109. What is: Situation or social environment?
