Project 1 : The 5 Journal
Humans are social animals. Thus, there are many social psychology theories at work when people interact with one another. Also, as the information one posesses about traits of other people are limited, people tend to judge others based on heuristics.
This journal assignment is to enhance the awareness of social psychological concepts applicable to different contexts and settings in life.
In this assignment, we are required to write our own experiences social behaviour and describe it using related psychological concepts in the form of writing.
In the journal, I had choose social influence, social facilitation, counterfactual thinking, belief in a just world and Balance Theories by Fritz Heider. All these concepts were describe briefly and the content was real happened in my life.
After completing this journal, I became more analytical about human behaviour. It sharpens my awareness and sensitivity about various social settings and the way people react to situations around them.
Besides, I am glad to learn about certain social psychological theories and concepts. Also, I know to identify them all.
