Social Psychology

My Teacher Wrote: Personal Application Paper, In addition to reading and thinking about the concepts covered in the text, an important part of the learning process includes applying these concepts to your own life and experiences. To facilitate this process, a personal application paper should be typed(12 characters/inch font), 3 to 5 pages in length, and double-spaced with 1inch margins. For the paper, students should select one or two central topics discussed during the semester and write about how the topic(s) is relevant to you and your life. For example, for the chapter on prejudice, you might write about a time you directly or indirectly experienced some form of prejudice. Alternatively, you could analyze a television commercial with an eye toward the material covering the use of persuasion to increase compliance. Remember, this assignment is intended to help you recognize how the material covered in class is personally relevant, as well as to encourage you to think critically about the concepts presented instead of passively accepting them as truths. Thus it is acceptable (and commendable) to include in your paper a discussion of the reasons why you agree/disagree with what the author is saying. To reiterate, each paper must have the following two components: a review (including proper citation) of the concept from the text to be discussed; and second, your thoughts/feelings on this topic and a discussion of how it applies to your life including whether you agree/disagree with what the author has said.

Our book for the class is Myers, D. G. & Twenge, J. (2019).Social PsychologyReader (13thed.).New York: McGraw-Hill.ISBN-13: 9781307429794

Here are some concepts you can pick from and write about we studied in the book and relate them to whatever you’d like, make it up as long as it sounds correct.
-Hindsight Bias
-Fundamental Attribution Error
-Self-Serving Bias
Learned Helplessness
-Self-Handicapping
-External and Dispositional attributions/ how and when you have used them; in which situation, etc.

Please include what he asked, that includes the last pages being a citation page. Thank you.
