Last Name R – Z: Find an ad that involves loaded words and images—these tend to be more subtle techniques, including the use of attractive people in the advertisement, images of positive social situations associated with a product, or incorporating “buzzwords” or buzz phrases such as “natural” for food and beauty products.

(Five Points Possible for Each Question)

1. What product does this ad attempt to market, and where is the ad from? Describe or attach

2. To which component(s) of attitudes (e.g., affective, behavioral, cognitive) does this ad appeal? How can you tell? Was this a good strategy for this product/audience?

3. What route of persuasion do the advertisers seem to use (e.g., central/systematic route vs. peripheral/heuristic pg. 228)? Was that a good choice? Specifically, what central or peripheral cues are used?

4. Does the ad attempt to describe the source of its product information (e.g., “dentists agree that _____” or “experts suggest ____?” Do these sources come off as credible and/or attractive? If there was no expert, do you think one would have helped? Why or why not?

5. What about the communication itself? Are the arguments weak/strong, one-sided/twosided, overt/implied, discrepant with the audience/in-line with the audience, or not present at all? Were these good choices?

6. What about the target of the communication? Who are the advertisers targeting, how can you tell, and was that a good decision? How might this ad be different if directed towards an audience from a more interdependent culture?

7. Describe how AT LEAST ONE concept that we have discussed (e.g. dissonance, emotions, attitudes, self-monitoring, etc. – your choice) is relevant to the ad’s persuasiveness.

Assignment: Electronic Media Influence – Part 2

In Part 1, you selected an electronic medium and developed a visual timeline of its historical development as you examined the medium’s impact on human behavior and development.

In Part 2 of this Assignment, you apply theories or hypotheses (displacement, cultivation effects, modeling, and desensitization) about which you read this week to your selected electronic medium. You will further explore which theories or hypotheses best explain the aspects of human development you discussed in Part 1 of this Assignment.

To Prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the theory articles found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the impact of digital technologies on human development
  • Search the Internet and the Walden Library to find at least two articles related to your selected electronic media’s development in Week 1
  • Reflect on the Visual Timeline and the paper you developed in Week 1

For this Part 2 of your Assignment:

Write an additional 1 to 2 pages to the paper you began in Week 1. Based on the information you assembled for your paper in Week 1:

  • Explain which media theories or hypotheses (displacement, cultivation effects, modeling, desensitization) you believe most directly impact the behaviors and human development you identified in Week 1 and why.

Human beings are fundamentally social. In this discussion, we will consider connection—from attraction to dissolution, and liking to love—by providing advice regarding various relationship concerns.

To inform your thinking on this topic, begin by reading “Transmission of Aggressions through Imitation of Aggressive Models” (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1961), “”From Jerusalem to Jericho”: A study of situational and dispositional variables in helping behavior” (Darley & Batson, 1973), “Bystander Intervention in Emergencies: Diffusion of Responsibility” (Darley & Latane, 1968), “The General Aggression Model: Theoretical Extensions to Violence, and “Understanding the Psychology of Bullying: Moving Toward a Social-Ecological Diathesis-Stress Model” (Swearer & Hymel, 2015).

Then, imagine that you are an educator.  Describe a hypothetical incident of observed antisocial behavior (bullying, relational aggression (i.e., “mean girls”), etc.).  Interpret relevant social psychological theory and research to explain the case study you outlined, and assemble key insight from research on prosocial behavior to generate a plan for addressing this specific situation.

Your initial post should be 500-1000 words in length and must contain at minimum required course resources as applicable.  Additional credible references are encouraged.
