Self-Concept Project

Self-Concept Project You are an artist and you didnt even know it!  You are to develop a creative project that demonstrates and/or comments on one of the social psychological phenomena we have discussed in class this term (attitudes, attitude change, conformity, obedience, compliance, self-concept, self-serving bias, fundamental attribution error, deindividuation,&the list goes on.). You should use any artistic medium you wish (photography, video, graphic design, prose, poetry, electronic art/design, visual art, etc). The goal is to have you merge your creative side with your scholarly side, and integrate social psychology into your everyday life. Sample Acceptable / Unacceptable Project Ideas: These are simply guidelines. The general idea is that, no matter what specific type of project you are doing, its main focus must be on social psychology. It must be clear that you are meeting the goals of the project listed below.  Acceptable: Create a scrapbook of 15-20 advertisements that use specific influence techniques and describe exactly how they use them. Create your own advertising campaign that employs influence/attitude change techniques. Write a play wherein the characters are affected by some psychological phenomenon. Take pictures of scenes (real or created) that demonstrate or comment on a topic. Unacceptable: Projects that are irrelevant to psychology Projects in poor taste (e.g. extremely violent or obscene material) Projects that involve breaking the law, cheating, harming others, or placing others at risk
