, Chapter 1 Introduction
Social psychology
Social psychology is defined as the scientific study of the way in which people’s thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the real or imagined presence of other people.
Social psychologists are interested in understanding how and why the social environment
shapes the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of the individual. Social psychologists develop
explanations of social influence through empirical methods, like experiments. Cross-
cultural research is necessary to discover universal laws of human behaviour. The level of
analysis for social psychology is the individual in the context of a social situation.
The power of the situation
Fundamental attribution error: the tendency to explain our own and other people’s
behaviour in terms of personality traits and disregarding the power of social influence, the
situation.
Construal: the world is interpreted differently by every individual. This has its roots in
Gestalt psychology: a psychology stressing the importance of studying the subjective way in
which an object appears in people’s minds rather than the objective, physical attributes of
the object.
Naive realism is the conviction that we perceive things as they really are, if other people
think differently, they are biased.
Motives
Basic human motives: a person is shaped by two basic human motives: the need to feel
good about ourselves and the need to be accurate. The self-esteem motive is the need to
feel good about ourselves, where we see ourselves in a bright light, and the self-fulfilling
prophecy. The social cognition motive is the need to be accurate.
