  1. Consider your own social behavior and the various normative and informational social influences you encounter in everyday life.  Then, complete the following activities.
  2. Appraise your behavior.  For 24 hours, keep a log of every behavior in which you engage that is due to conformity or obedience.
  3. Select one of the following:
    • Choose one mundane behavior from your log that is based on a social norm.  Violate this norm.  Be sure you are not breaking any rules or laws or putting yourself at risk in any way.  Here is a link to a number of examples, but feel free to come up with your own (or google search for additional ideas):  http://www.radford.edu/~jaspelme/social/examples_of_norm_violations.htm (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
    • Spend 24 hours living “A Day of Nonconformity”, living each minute as uninfluenced as possible (without infringing on the rights of others).  Strive to be your true, unfettered self.
  4. Examine your social influence log and your experience living a day of nonconformity/violating a social norm.  Include the following in your summary:

Post your initial response of 250 words or more by Day 3 (Thursday).  Respond to at least two of your peers by Day 7 (Monday).  You are encouraged to post one or more of your required replies early each week (e.g., by Saturday) to stimulate more meaningful and interactive discourse in the discussion forum.  In addition, strive to provide a response to classmates who replied to your initial post and/or the Instructor (if applicable).  Peer responses may vary in length but should be carefully crafted and insightful.  Below are some suggestions to assist your thinking.

Guided Response:  Reply to at least two or more peers overall.  The goal of the discussion forum is to foster continual dialogue, similar to what might occur in a verbal face-to-face exchange.  Consider the following in your responses:

  • What about your peer’s experience was most surprising?
  • How would you have reacted to the nonconformity of your peer?

Learning Styles/Personality

After reading Chapter 7: Strategic Learning and Studying & chapter 8: Test-Taking Skills and Strategies, and looking at the Learning Style Youtube clip in this module, I would like for you to answer the following questions in the Discussion Board:

1) What is your preferred learning style?

2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)?

3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study?

Preferred Leaning Styles

1. Learning Styles – Discussion Board

1) What is your preferred learning style? I am definitely a kinesthetic learner. I can hear something or study something but will not feel comfortable with it until I have hands on experience with it.

2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)? My preferred learning environment is in a classroom setting with others. Working with other classmates on projects really seems to help me. Good lighting is always helpful.

3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study? I like to take notes during instruction. Since that is not possible through online classes participating in the discussions with other classmates is also a good way to study and learn. Their perspective on a topic can be a different way at looking at something that I may not have learned on my own.

2. Learning Styles – Discussion Board

My proffered learning style is visual and kinesthetic. I like studying in a bright cold room because it is harder to get tired because we all know studying is tiring. I usually just were headphones and study alone as well. Strategies I use to study include reading the content over and over again, writing down notes on the material multiple times, and using flash cards to help me.

Describe a “real-world” application for each of the two subspecialties

/in /by

By Wednesday at 11:55pm Eastern Time please post a 300 word minimum length “Initial Post” in response to the topic requirements on each forum during its scheduled week.

 

For this Forum, in your Initial       Post you will share with your classmates your observations from your       research on Learning/Memory and Psychopathology as       subspecialties and career options.

Please be sure to address BOTH       subspecialties in your response to each question.  Points       will be deducted if both subspecialties are not clearly and separately       addressed.

1) After researching these areas, do you find them to be career       possibilities you are interested in or careers that don’t capture your       interest?  Why or why not?

2) What is at least one thing you learned about each of the two       subspecialties that you did not previously know?

3) Describe a “real-world” application for each of the two subspecialties.        How could knowledge gained through the pursuit of each subspecialty help       us to understand everyday problems, dilemmas, or situations?        Note:  your answer does not have to be specific to psychology as a       field.  Think broadly; psychological principles can apply to many       different fields.
