Directions: Choose 1 Topic

  • Analyze and apply a social psychology theory to a real-life situation. Start by selecting a theory that you find particularly interesting. Spend some time assessing the theory, then look for examples of the theory at work in the world around you.
  • Does online social networking make people more or less likely to interact with people in "real life"? Create a questionnaire to assess how often people participate in social networking versus how much time they spend interacting with their friends in real-world settings.
  • How good are people at detecting lies? Have participants tell a group of people about themselves, but make sure some of the things are true while others are not. Ask members of the group which statements they thought were true and which they thought were false.
  • Collect a wide variety of print advertisements and analyze how persuasion is used. What types of cognitive and affective techniques are utilized? Do certain types of advertisements tend to use specific kinds of persuasive techniques?
  • How does our appearance impact how people respond to us? Ask some friends to help you by having two people dress up in dramatically different ways, one in a professional manner and one in a less conventional manner. Have each person engage in a particular action, then observe how they are treated and how other people's responses differ.
