Assignment 1: Applying Social Psychology Theories to Explain Behavior
In Week 2, you were introduced to the bystander effect (Darley & Latané, 1968). The perceived diffusion of responsibility makes bystanders less likely to intervene in an emergency situation. It might be tempting to assume that aggressors and the bystanders who do nothing to intervene are just “bad” people; however, the reasons for how and why these behaviors occur are much more complex. In this assignment, you will consider how factors such as obedience to authority, perceived power, and diffused responsibility in the presence of others may explain varied responses to potential or actual harm to others.
Reference
Darley, J.M. & Latané, B. (1968). Bystander intervention in emergencies: Diffusion of responsibility. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 8(4), 377-383.
To Prepare:
Review the Hock (2020) readings on social psychology theories and principles. Think about the influence of environmental and social context on behavior.
Reflect on the following social media scenario:
You are reading posts in your favorite social media site, when you come across a post by a 19-year-old male. He writes that he was raped at a party last night and he’s afraid they will post pictures of it online. He is contemplating suicide. You notice three types of behaviors in the comments to him:
A small group of individuals are using profanity and belittling him. They are encouraging him to commit suicide.
A larger group of individuals are making supportive comments and providing the number for a crisis help line.
Many of his online followers have not responded to his post.
Think about how social psychology theories or principles could be applied to explain the types of comments made to the 19-year-old in the scenario.
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the impact of social context on conformity, obedience, and helping behaviors.
Explain how social psychology theories or principles could be applied to account for each of the responses in the scenario (e.g., which principles/theories could explain response type A; which principles/theories could explain response type B, and so on). Be sure to support your assertions with scholarly content.
Provide at least one recommendation to help reduce the derogatory comments or increase the number of supportive comments in the scenario, based on what you have learned about social psychology.

What are the major differences between managerial and financial accounting?

Answers must arrive from text. I have attached the file, thank you so much!

Discuss the way in which we might see the narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” to be an unreliable narrator. What language does he use that might make us see him as “unreliable”? How does knowing that this narrator is unreliable impact readers’ perspectives of both him and the actions in the story?
Do NOT use outside research for these responses.* Don’t even “google” the topic “just to get some ideas.” These questions are meant to bring out your own thoughts on our readings and the issues raised in the prompts. Again, these are meant to be something like in-class discussion questions. There are not necessarily any specific “right” answers I am looking for. I am looking for your insights and originality.
DO use a few quotes and specific references to the literature in your responses. Insert these quotes—from the poems, stories, plays—into your responses smoothly and fluently. Use them to make your points stronger and clearer. I have more detailed In-text citation instructions in the course, but generally: Cite just the page # for any prose quotes from the literature (322). If you quote from a poem, simply cite the line #. You do not need a Works Cited for these responses if you are only using our textbook.
Keep in mind that you don’t necessarily need to answer all of the questions in the prompt you select. Look for a central question to the prompt and remember that you will be starting your response with “Thesis: ” at the top. This thesis, along with the required length of 225-400 words, will guide how much you cover in your response.
*Special Note: The instructions clearly state: Do NOT use outside research for these responses. However, I always want to make it clear that if you decide to go against these instructions, it is YOUR responsibility to cite clearly any source used. (I always want to emphasize that there is NEVER any reason to plagiarize. If you use a source in any way (in any class on any assignment) CITE the source and you can’t get in trouble. You may be penalized on the module response grade here, but at least you will not have to deal with issues of plagiarism.
