IRL Social Psych

 1. 


Compliance is changing behavior in response to a request. In this picture, the student sitting down requested the student standing to help them with their homework assignment. This conveys compliance because the student standing is complying or is changing their initial behavior in response to the request to helping with the homework assignment.

2.


Obedience is response to direct orders from a authority figure. In this picture, the principal or boss on the right is ordering the teacher sitting on the left to behave around parents and to remain silent. This conveys obedience because she must follow the orders or else she will be fired from her position.

3.
Social facilitation is the increased productivity of one's activity because of the presence of other people. In the picture, the student is singing in the middle of gym in front of a lot of students. This illustrates social facilitation because in front of the presence of a gym full of people, her performance increased.

4.
When compared to individual decisions, group polarization is the tendency for groups to drift toward the extremes of decision-making. A book club is a group of people who read novels ahead of time and discuss them with other members of the group. When the group meets to discuss the book, they amplify the positive aspects and leave with a more positive impression than they came in with. Group polarization has happened when the group attitude has shifted from believing that the book was just good to believing that it was great.

5. 
The reciprocity norm is a social guideline that states that those who aid others will receive similar advantages in return.  In the picture, the young student is opening the door for the 2 girls after him, then the children proceeded by thanking him. Since the young man did a good deed by opening the door, the other students had a moral obligation to return the favor, so they responded with "thank you"
