Discussion:
Discuss how prejudice and discrimination differ when it involves coworkers and family
Social psychology looks at how the individual functions as part of a social group, including families, peer groups, and larger groups that support ethnic or national identity. In this presentation, you will relate two different examples from family, work, that demonstrate how behavior differs according to the social situation. Be sure to name the phenomenon that is present in each example. Consider these concepts:
f. Prejudice and discrimination
The phenomena in your examples may or may not indicate a deficit or problem that needs to be corrected. Identify the precursors, or conditions that allow influence from social factors. After describing the example, give an assessment of the outcomes. What happened? Was anyone harmed? Was there any abnormal behavior that warrants therapeutic intervention? Were there any cultural factors that limit or encourage group influence?
