I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.

1. Choose one of the social psychology topics listed below
   • Topics: Routes to Persuasion, Cognitive Dissonance, Conformity, Groupthink, Compliance (any one of the techniques, either as presented in video lecture or in the book), Obedience, Stereotype, Prejudice, Discrimination, Altruism/Prosocial Behavior, Bystander Effect, Diffusion of Responsibility
2. Choose a popular media topic that you can see through the lens of one of those topics. What is considered popular media is broad in scope and you have freedom to choose from within. This can include a popular television program, a well-known individual (fictional or real), a recent news headline, etc.
   • Examples (you may not use these for your own):
     • The current Nespresso commercial with George Clooney, from the routes to persuasion framework
     • (From Krem.com): “Washington veteran with error in military record finds hope after ‘discrimination,’” from the discrimination framework
     • Michael Scott and the episode “Diversity Day” from The Office, from the stereotype framework

1. Describe how the popular media topic fits within the framework of the social psychology topic.
   • At least 3-4 sentences describing the social psychology topic (you can use the lecture notes or Chapter 15 from your book for this, but be sure not to plagiarize [use quotes!])
   • At least 2-3 sentences describing the popular media topic.
     • Example: Briefly describe the Nespresso commercial, or the news article, or the episode of “Diversity Day” from The Office. Enough that someone who is not familiar with the topic has a general understanding (assume I don’t know that episode of The Office, or I don’t know the commercial)
   • At least 3-5 sentences connecting the popular media topic to the social psychology topic
2. Write your response (APA Style (Links to an external site.) Preferred, please) and submit through Canvas by December 2 (Monday)
   

Grading for the Assignment

Your response FOR THE WHOLE ASSIGNMENT should be 8-12 sentences (no more, no less).

Students will be graded on their ability to reply in a clear, concise, and grammatical way, and on their ability to accurately respond to the prompt.
