Different events are continuously happening in everyone’s surroundings despite them knowing it. These scenarios can either be big or small, short-term or long-term, and many more. Among these events is the continuous interaction of individuals with other people and the results of this interaction afterward. These interactions can be triggered by something else or can cause an efficient product. This paper will present ten concepts under social psychology with its definition and examples.
Figure 1
Aggressive Behavior
Note. Figure 1 shows a fight between two kids and a woman being the mediator to stop the conflict (Daniells, 2018).
According to Eisner & Malti (2015), aggressive behavior refers to actions that cause harm to other individuals, and this includes physical, mental, and emotional harm. Also, they added that this definition is synonymous with hundreds of words in the English language. An example would be a fight between two or more individuals or even a simple push of two kids because of a toy.
Figure 2
Attitude and Attitude Changes
Note. Figure 2 represents the factors influencing a person’s attitude to change and form (Cherry, 2021).
Attitude refers to how a person assesses a thought floating in one’s mind. An attitude can change when the perception of an individual towards another train of thought is changed (Bohner & Dickel, 2011). For example, a young man perceives his Dad as a wrong person, so his attitude towards him is terrible. The young man’s perception towards his Dad can be influenced by how his Dad acts around him every time they met.
Figure 3
Bystander Effect
Note. Figure 3 shows how people overthink about helping. Instead of taking action, they all first taught that the man on the floor is okay and someone will help (BD Editors, 2019).
From the study of Plotner et al. (2015), they stated that the bystander effect is like the words “volunteer’s dilemma,” wherein people look at volunteering as a big task and tend to disconnect themselves from it. Also, there are five stages to consider in this concept which are (1) someone has to be aware of the scenario, (2) conclude that it is an emergency case, (3) take responsibility, (4) be of help in the case, and (5) before others take notice of it.
Figure 4
Cognitive Dissonance
Note. Figure 4 whos a man who was used to using candy as a form of stress reliever relied on the use of cigarettes instead (Cherry, 2020).
Kim (2011) defined cognitive dissonance as actions that are different from what an individual's values are. It occurs when a person is in a state of conflict and would instead use an action different from who they are. Another scenario would be a young girl feeling stuffy of his strict parents tried to sneak out at night.
Figure 5
Conformity
Note. Figure 5 shows how the young girl in the first panel changed her outfit to be friends with the people behind her (Cherry, 2020).
Refers to the actions of people where they change their behaviors according to the majority. To elaborate, people tend to change their actions according to the majority of opinions of their environment (Van Le...
