                                                        SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

ASSIGNMENT 1 : JOURNAL

     The intended learning outcomes for this assignment are enable students to apply psychological theories and concepts to their personal lives and that of others. It also enables students to understand themselves better and their interactions with others in terms of psychology. It also aimed to increase awareness and sharpened sensitivity to human behaviours.

     In this assignment, we need to explain the event or experience by giving evidence to support why this illustrates a social psychological concept. This is quite interesting because we need to apply social psychology concept in our daily life. This implicate that there are many aspects in our life that can be explain by social psychology concepts but we were unaware about it. So, this assignment helps me to understand the particular concepts further when I apply it in my daily life. However, this assignment can only help students to certain extent because it does not require students to apply all the concepts in their life instead of 4 concepts.


ASSIGNMENT 2 : ARTICLE / ADVERTISEMENT ANALYSIS
     The intended learning outcomes for this assignment are enable student to define and explain psychological content such as concepts, facts, terms and theories and remember them.  It also applies psychological theories and concepts to their personal lives and that of others.

     In this assignment, we need to work in group of up to 4 members to look for articles/advertisement that they can relate to the concepts that they have learned in Chapter 6 – Attitude & Persuasion (Part 1), Chapter 6 – Attitude & Persuasion (Part 1), Chapter 7 - Stereotyping, Prejudice & Discrimination, Chapter 8 – Prosocial Behavior, and Chapter 9 – Aggression and produce a written report. This assignment does help me to understand the particular theories further since it is not just applies it in our life, instead of applies it from articles or newspapers. The assignment teaches me that even news also reveal social psychology concepts. I found that I could remember and understand the particular concepts further after I finish this assignment.  In the end, I am able to achieve all the learning outcomes that were intended for this project.
