Psychology Discussion- Jury Consultation

/in /by

Due TODAY by 8pm, ten hours from now!!!. Your post should be approximately 500 words in length and include appropriate APA-style citations and references. In addition to citing the assigned works you read this week, please find and cite at least two more peer-reviewed journal articles on any of the areas studied this week to support your position. These articles should be recent (published within the last 10 years).

 

Scenario: The Jury

 

A local politician has been charged with corruption for attempting to bribe another local official to get his name on the mayoral ballot for the upcoming election.  His attorney is concerned that jurors will not be very sympathetic to his client because they may view his behavior as a betrayal of the public trust. Therefore, the attorney has reached out to you, an applied social psychology expert, to educate him on what he should know about groups and the factors that affect their behaviors and decisions.

 

Based on the theories of group behavior and dynamics, aggression, social influence, group think, group polarization, and de-individuation, please discuss the following: What is the most important thing you think the attorney needs to know about group dynamics? Define and discuss group polarization, groupthink, and social influence? How might these processes affect jury deliberations (e.g., jury decision making)? Think back to your readings on processing persuasive messages. What would you suggest to the attorney in terms of persuading the jury that his client is a trustworthy and honest person?

 

Mock IRB Application

/in /by

For this exercise, you will choose one of the psychological experiments listed at the bottom of these instructions.  These are experiments that have already been conducted and published.  Several are “classic” experiments in social psychology of which you should already be aware.  You will read the published article carefully and then you will take the knowledge gleaned from the article to complete the IRB application AS IF you were the Principal Investigator applying for approval to conduct the study.

For some of the questions included on the application, you may need to “stretch” your knowledge a bit.  For example, the published article may say that college students were given extra credit for participation, but may not go into a lot of detail regarding the process used to recruit those students.  In such a situation, you may need to use your imagination to fill in some blanks.

In addition, please remember that the goal here is to put yourself in the principal investigator’s shoes at the time that he/she conducted the experiment.  If the experiment was conducted in the 1970s, for example, remember that the standards for human experimentation were different back then.  Answer the questions as the investigator WOULD have answered them (based upon what you read about the experiment), not as they SHOULD have answered them based upon today’s ethical standards.

All assignments will be submitted through APUS’ plagiarism checker, turnitin.com, so be sure to cite your references in APA formatting as appropriate.
