Social life
Compliance:
Compliance is a social psychology concept that refers to changing one's behavior due to the request or direction of another person or group. In this image, we see a teacher asking a student to quiet down and pay attention during class. The student complies with the teacher's request by sitting up straight and appearing more engaged in the lesson.
Obedience: Obedience is a social psychology concept that refers to changing one's behavior in response to a direct order from an authority figure. In this image, we see a group of students participating in a fire drill. The teacher, who is the authority figure in this situation, instructs the students to evacuate the building in an orderly fashion. The students obey the teacher's orders by calmly and quickly exiting the building.
Social Facilitation:
Social facilitation is a social psychology concept that refers to the tendency for people to perform better on simple tasks in the presence of others. In this image, we see a student giving a presentation in front of their class. The presence of their peers is likely to increase their arousal and lead to improved performance, as long as the task is relatively simple.
Group Polarization: Group polarization is a social psychology concept that refers to the tendency for group discussions to lead to more extreme opinions and actions than those held by individuals prior to the discussion. In this image, we see a group of students engaged in a heated debate about a controversial topic. As the discussion continues, the group may become more extreme in their opinions as they seek to differentiate themselves from others and prove their stance.
Reciprocity Norms: Reciprocity norms are social psychology concepts that refer to the social expectation that people will respond to each other in similar ways. In this image, we see a teacher giving feedback to a student on their assignment. The student is likely to feel a social obligation to reciprocate the teacher's feedback with a positive response, such as thanking the teacher for their time and effort.
