Social Psychology Assignment 2

In this assignment, we have to work in a group up to 5 members, so, my friends and I have form a group for the group assignment. So, I start working with my partner which are Cheong Siew Leong, Lee Yuan June, Tan Ceng Weng and Khew Sze Hao. This assignment show that we need to search for articles or advertisements and apply the concepts that we have learned in Chapter 6 - Attitudes and Persuasion ( Part 1 and 2 ), Chapter 7 - Stereotyping, Prejudice and Discrimination, Chapter 8 - Prosocial Behavior and Chapter 9 - Aggression. Firstly, we had a group discussion and collected the newspapers and magazines so that we can find the articles or advertisements which related to the concepts that we had learned. After we had found the articles and advertisements, we applied the concepts into the articles and advertisements and combined all the works together into a full report. The report is not the only thing we had done, we also do the presentation slide for our group presentation. During the group presentation, my friends and I presented our work very well, and the students also asked some question about our articles. Even though we don't know what is our grade, but we have done our best to this assignment. In this assignments, I learned how to work together with my groupmates and how to perform a very good teamwork. Besides that, I have understand more about the concepts in social psychology.

Social Psychology E-portfolio

In the social psychology class, I have learned many social psychology theory and concept in our life. After a few weeks later, our lecture had given us the project brief which is we had to write two journals by using the social psychology theories and concept we had learned from the class. The social psychology theories and concept that we needed to be used in the journals are Introduction to Social Psychology and Methodology, The Self, Self Presentation, Social Cognition and Social Perception. In the journals, I had written my own experience which involved in the social psychology theories and concept and after I finish my journals, I had submitted it to my lecture during the class at morning 8am. After a week, I had got my journals back and the grade for my journals was B-, I was a little bit depressed because my aim was an A-, but I know where is my mistake in the journals. For an example, I had used chapter 6 social psychology theories and concept but the journals just needed the social psychology theories from chapter 1 to chapter 5, so it was my first mistake. Then, I have made a lot of grammar mistake in the journals and this is one of the reasons I got a lower grade for my journals. So, in the assignment 2, which is a group project, I need to be very careful and learn from the mistake from the assignment 1. Even though I have failed to get to my aim, but I had learn how to learned from the mistake and I have able to apply social psychology theories and concept in my life.
