AP Psych Post #6
1. Compliance: Accepting requests or following directions
This image relates to compliance since one student is offering to help another with an assignment. The girl in the green complied (ooooh buzzword) with the boy's request for assistance.
2. Obedience: Following directions from a person of authority
The children demonstrate obedience as they're standing in a single-file line at the request of a teacher. The difference between this and the previous image is that the children are requested by a figure of authority, the teacher.
3. Social Facilitation: Performing better due to the presence of others watching you perform a task.
The student at the front is completing a problem on the board in front of his class. He may be able to solve the problem with more "correctness" (I'm sure that's a word) due to social facilitation since everyone is watching him complete the problem.
4. Group Polarization: Moving farther away from individual ideas when in a group.
In the image, the students are all working on a poster. They likely experienced group polarization near the beginning of the project since they needed to conform to one general idea regarding the design of the poster.
5. Reciprocity Norms: If we help someone, they'll likely be open to helping you back one day.
