Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper.
For the final project in this course, you will marshal the knowledge you have built to accomplish the core goal of all psychologists—to explain human behavior. You will select a current or historical event and use theory and research from the field of social cognition and perception to explain, from your perspective, why the event occurred. You will also suggest, again drawing from social cognitive theory and research, how this event could have turned out differently had it occurred in a different culture. Although you will not have been exposed to the material in the entire course by the time you begin working on the project, you should feel free to utilize theory and research covered in any portion of the course readings, or elsewhere within the field of social cognition, in achieving the project objectives. The project will be completed in three steps: a topic proposal, a detailed outline and tentative annotated bibliography, and a final paper.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final research paper will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:
PSY-326-01 Evaluate contemporary research in social cognition and perception for its contributions to and importance for analyzing human behavior
PSY-326-02 Analyze the impact of cognitive theory and methodology on social psychology
PSY-326-03 Assess the impact of the social environment (with a focus on both functionality and shortcomings) on basic cognitive processes, perceptual processes, and behavior
PSY-326-04 Apply the automatic versus controlled model of social cognition to the analysis and evaluation of human behavior
PSY-326-05 Assess the role of culture as one component of the social environment for its impact on basic cognitive and perceptual processes
Prompt Your paper will address two major questions:
1. How does the literature in social cognition and perception help explain a real-world event? 2. Based on the literature, how could this event have happened differently had it occurred in a different culture?
The introductory part of your paper should provide background information on your chosen event, including where and when it occurred, how people were affected by it, and its impact. For example, the event might have significantly impacted individuals, or perhaps it had an environmental or political impact. Include any other relevant information that will provide the reader with a full picture of the nature of the event.
Next, you will utilize your knowledge of social cognitive theory and research to explain why the event occurred. Select two theories from the course that could explain how and why the event happened. In your discussion of each theory and how it applies to understanding the event, incorporate information from at least two representative, peer-reviewed articles that capture the essence of the theory and can be used to illustrate what the theory predicts would happen in this situation.
Although you will address the applicability of the theories to the event in some detail, you should also analyze the role of other basic cognitive, perceptual, and social psychological forces at work in bringing about the occurrence or unfolding of the event. Part of this analysis should include how the dual process model can be utilized to analyze the course of events. How did automatic and controlled processes contribute to the event? What is the difference between these two modes of processing? Utilize scholarly research to support all of yourclaims.
What specific heuristics, biases, or errors might have occurred in the course of the event? How are the biases or heuristics that you have identified functional or problematic within this context? How might they have been reduced? Utilize information in the scholarly literature or your textbook for this discussion.
Finally, could this event have turned out differently if it unfolded in a different culture? Or do you think the outcome would have been much the same? Make use of information in the scholarly literature or your textbook in discussing thisissue.
You will need to take care in selecting an event that will lend itself to detailed analysis from a social cognitive perspective. One example of such an event would be the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, and the aftermath. Many things occurred that could be viewed through the lens of social cognition. The individuals who carried out the attack may have had certain motivations that social cognitive perspectives could explain. The public developed certain views of the hijackers and, in some cases, had altered views of the groups to which the hijackers belonged. The rate of flying on commercial airliners plummeted for a time. Subsequent U.S. military invasions of Afghanistan and later Iraq were portrayed as responses to this attack. Yellow ribbons and “Support Our Troops” bumper stickers became widespread symbols. Hostility toward those critical of U.S. government policies increased.
Here are some other topics that you might choose as the focus of your paper:
The civil rights movement
The My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War
The Nazi Holocaust
The struggle to abolish slavery in the United States
The Russian Revolution
The stock market crash of 1929
Human-induced global climate change
The AIDS epidemic
The nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan
The Abu Ghraib prison torture scandal
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting
The Bernie Madoff investment scandal
These examples were selected because they lend themselves to rich analysis from the perspective of social cognition. Although you may select an event that is not listed here, your choice of event is subject to instructorapproval.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction A. Include extensive background information about the event including a description of the event, what might have led to it, and why the
event is worthy of analysis.
II. Why the Event Occurred: Theory I A. Include a theory from the course that justifiably explains the event and why the event occurred, and draw connections to two articles
relevant to the theory. III. Why the Event Occurred: Theory II
A. Include a theory from the course that justifiably explains the event and why the event occurred, and draw connections to two articles relevant to the theory.
IV. Analysis—Basic Perceptual and Cognitive Processes A. Analyze the impact of social psychological processes and how they might have contributed to this event. B. Analyze how those processes were impacted by social psychological factors.
V. Analysis—the Dual Process Model A. Apply the dual process model to demonstrate how it can successfully be used to explain human behavior. Accurately describe at least one
automatic and one controlled process in a comprehensive way. Explain how the processes contributed to the event. VI. Alternative Conclusions
A. Identify specific heuristics or biases that might logically have occurred during the event, and explain how those biases and heuristics are both functional and problematic in the context, as well as how they might have been mitigated.
B. Include an analysis of how this event could have turned out differently if it had unfolded in different culture.
