Week 10 Knowledge Check

1. Which statement best captures Week 10 Day 1 — Social Influence, Norms & Conformity? When people observe behavior, they often ask why it happened. Groups can coordinate information, distribute tasks, create norms, and support cooperation. A stereotype is a generalized belief or expectation about members of a group. People often use other people as information.

2. Which statement best captures Week 10 Day 2 — Attribution: Person, Situation & the Stories We Tell? When people observe behavior, they often ask why it happened. Groups can coordinate information, distribute tasks, create norms, and support cooperation. A stereotype is a generalized belief or expectation about members of a group. Culture influences behavior through learned practices, expectations, language, institutions, social roles, opportunities, and meanings.

3. Which statement best captures Week 10 Day 3 — Groups, Cooperation, Conflict & Bystander Processes? A stereotype is a generalized belief or expectation about members of a group. Groups can coordinate information, distribute tasks, create norms, and support cooperation. Culture influences behavior through learned practices, expectations, language, institutions, social roles, opportunities, and meanings. People often use other people as information.

4. Which statement best captures Week 10 Day 4 — Stereotypes, Prejudice, Discrimination & Social Identity? Culture influences behavior through learned practices, expectations, language, institutions, social roles, opportunities, and meanings. People often use other people as information. A stereotype is a generalized belief or expectation about members of a group. When people observe behavior, they often ask why it happened.

5. Which statement best captures Week 10 Day 5 — Culture, Context & the Social Influence Report? People often use other people as information. When people observe behavior, they often ask why it happened. Groups can coordinate information, distribute tasks, create norms, and support cooperation. Culture influences behavior through learned practices, expectations, language, institutions, social roles, opportunities, and meanings.

6. A student makes a broad claim about Social & Cultural Psychology. What is the strongest next step? Define the claim and measure, examine evidence, test an alternative explanation, state a limitation, then calibrate the conclusion. Accept the claim if it is familiar. Replace measurement with a personal impression. Treat one observation as proof about every individual.

7. Which interpretation rule is most important when applying Week 10 findings? A group average determines each person's outcome. Respect the boundary: group finding ≠ individual conclusion. A psychological measure is identical to the construct itself. One plausible explanation eliminates all alternatives.

8. What is the most defensible purpose of the Week 10 research/data lab? Produce a diagnosis from classroom data. Guarantee that one condition caused every observed difference. Fictional participation data: | Condition | Mean voluntary comments per class | |---|---:| | Anonymous written response | 6.8 | | Small-group discussion | 5.9 | | Whole-class discussion | 3.1 | Students ask: - Does the behavior change by… Remove uncertainty by ignoring limitations.

9. A fictional Week 10 comparison reports 68% in Condition A and 82% in Condition B. Which conclusion is strongest? Condition B is proven best for every person. The larger percentage proves the measured construct was perfectly valid. The difference can be called causal without knowing the design. The displayed conditions differ (68% vs. 82%), but the table alone does not establish why the difference occurred or how broadly it generalizes.

10. Which Week 10 application best preserves the course's ethics and person-level inference boundary? Use fictional, public, non-sensitive, or course-supplied examples; keep conclusions proportional to evidence and never infer a person's identity or diagnosis from a classroom activity. Ask students to disclose private health histories for a grade. Use one class activity to label a person's personality or mental health. Treat scientific explanation as permission to excuse harmful behavior.
