• www.uophelp.com
•  
• As Feenstra (2011) states in your
  textbookSocial 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.

• Persuasion Techniques
• 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?

  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

• Social Psychology Bringing It All
  TogetherSocial 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. Given the amount
  of time each of us spend thinking about and
  interacting with the people we encounter every
  day, much of our lives are spent with the subject
  matter of social psychology. (Feenstra, 2011,
  p.22).
