•  
• 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).

•  
• 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).

•      
• 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?

(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?

• 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?

•  
• 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. 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).
