Remember- No face-to-face class today.
1. Please watch and take notes on the first two psychological experiments. These two famous experiments are to be considered as texts in which we are evaluating the application of the foundational ideas we have learned about conformity. Be aware... these two experiments obviously are displays of these concepts. We are practicing our application of the foundational ideas with these psychological experiments. We are practicing the skill of reading a text (the video) with a critical eye. We will be moving on to literary texts very soon where these ideas are less concrete.
As you are watching, consider the 4 manifestations of conformity, plus the 2 major reasons for conformity.
ASSIGNMENT: Write TWO Costa's questions- either Level 2 or 3 addressing the Asch and/or Milgrim experiments. Post to the discussion board on SCHOOLOGY. After you have posted your two questions, you will need to respond to TWO classmates' questions.
Have your questions posted by the end of the day on Monday/Tuesday (depending on your class date). Respond to your classmates' question by 8:00 AM on Thursday, September 24th
2. Next, as we solidify our comprehension of the psychological power of conformity, we will be considering the difficulty of working against this power.
Anticonformity (counterconformity): refers to when an individual consciously and deliberately challenges the position or actions of the group. Anticonformity is not merely the absence of conformity. Individuals who display anticonformity behaviours are internally motivated to disrupt the balance of the group.
Again, consider that purposeful challenging of the actions of the group. Whereas conformity can be an unconscious action, counterconformity is a deliberate act.
Watch the following TedTalk thinking about the pros and cons of the psychological act of conformity. Take notes on the possible application of both sides of conformity and possible effects.
3. You need to go through the LMC's tutorial on plagiarism- Found in Schoology folder.
You will then take the quiz on SCHOOLOGY. You must pass this quiz with 100%. You can take it as many times as necessary. You will receive either a 10 or 0 on this quiz. This needs to be done by the end of the day on SUNDAY, September 27th
FYI-
I am available for questions/meetings all day! Just let me know what you need!
