Responses to the questions by giving examples to each question. It is means explain the question and give example according to social psychology environment. 1. In Chapter 5, we learned that we aren’t born knowing ourselves. We get to know ourselves while we are simultaneously being shaped into ourselves. Gradually, we become aware of who we are. At that point, we must either justify aspects of who we are or change aspects of who we are. Which is more difficult? How does this relate to the two basic beliefs about oneself that people are constantly trying to preserve? 2. People’s ability to avoid and resolve cognitive dissonance confers on that individual a variety of benefits. However, these individual benefits may pose collective risks in terms of perpetuating harmful status quos (think Prisoner’s Dilemma). Think of an example and explain how individuals’ cognitive dissonance reduction may be contributing to this ill of society. 3. We see a lot of fear-arousing communication on social media (e.g., news about climate change & Covid-19). Using the elaboration likelihood model, explain how individuals are likely to process such information. How can we use this to understand why our country is so divided on so many issues? Here are Grading Rubric: Each question is worth 25 points. The grading rubric below will used to assess each response. To follow Criterion Description Point Value Content • Response accurately reflects social psychology concepts covered throughout the semester at a level of detail that demonstrates mastery. • Concepts identified in response to prompt are directly relevant to question and appropriately address the question. 12 Vocabulary • Response appropriately incorporates vocabulary from social psychology. 3 Completeness • Response adequately addresses all aspects of the question. • Response is well developed. Concepts are fully explained rather than only alluded to. 4 Critical Thinking • Response demonstrates critical thought and the ability to integrate and apply concepts from social psychology. • Arguments are logically supported using theories and empirical findings from social psychology. 4 Articulation/Organization • Response is well-articulated, logical, organized, proof-read, and demonstrates college-level writing. 1 Franciscan Values • Response respects the Franciscan sponsorship values of responsible stewardship, reconciliation, dignity of the individual, peace & justice. 1 Total per Question: 25 Instructions: Responses to the questions by giving examples to each question.
