Discussion
1. Based on readings from Social Psychology: If we succeeded in changing attitudes toward a specific behavior in a group of subjects, would this attitudinal change also produce behavioral change? Explain why or why not in detail, and what (if anything) we can do to increase the chances of behavioral change.
2. A tenet of social psychology is how we can use our knowledge to address social issues and concerns. After all, what is the good of knowledge if we do not apply it to the world around us? Homelessness has been in the media recently, more specifically rates of homelessness and it's etiology. Please explain, using our text and from a social psychology standpoint, possible root causes of homelessness.
3. Describe what an observational research study is, and what its strengths and weaknesses are.
4. Describe the relationship between social status, self-esteem, and self-presentation and how these interact. Be sure to describe how we achieve/manipulate these concepts within ourselves and how they affect one another and our behavior.
