Amna Rana Amna Rana (Apr 03 2021 2:22AM) : Rational Choice theory more

Firstly, in this chapter we learnt why theories have three major role in applied social psychology: (1) they help make sense of social behavior (understand) Knowledge Deficit Model: social programs (like public transportation) are underutilized because individuals lack knowledge about the programs or the behavior ,(2) they guide and inform the development of interventions intended to address a social problem (solve) and
(3) they can be tested for practicality and usefulness in the real world (evaluate)
Three role of theory is 1) understand 2) solution 3) evaluation
Rational choice theory: Essentially, this theory maintains that individuals are motivated to act in ways that
promote their self-interests. IN the book example is about travelling on the bus and driving by the car I cannot understand this?

Amna Rana Amna Rana (Apr 03 2021 2:39AM) : Cognitive Dissonance theory more

Add new cognitions to bolster one of the dissonant elements: ‘I don’t really have a choice, since the train is so inefficient. Now if the train were to run more frequently, I would certainly use it. How does it relate to cognitive dissonance theory

Minahil Rathor Minahil Rathor (Apr 03 2021 4:13AM) : Social loafing refers to the concept that people are prone to exert less effort when working collectively as part of a group compared to performing a task alone. more

When everyone does not put in their full amount of effort because they are part of a group, this can lead to reduced productivity.
For exampleTug of war, group homework projects, and an entertainer asking an audience to scream are all examples of social loafing because as you add more people to a group, the total group effort declines.

Tug of War is the perfect example because it’s where Maximillian Ringelmann originally found it

Kainat Shafiq Kainat Shafiq (Apr 06 2021 3:31AM) : Internally caused behavior (under the person behavior control) Externally caused behaviour(Due to situations) more

According to three dimensions of Attribution theory, people try to determine why we do, what we do.
Stability(Stable and unstable)
Locus of control(Internal and external)
Controllability(controllable or uncontrollable)
Forexample; a student who fail in exam could contribute their to a number of factors and it’s attribution that will affect their motivation in future.
So anyone explain above example in three dimensions of attribution theory?

Mehwish Younas Mehwish Younas (Apr 07 2021 12:27PM) : social loafing more

Social loafing occurs when an individual is doing less when working in a group, as opposed to putting forth full effort if they were alone
there are alot of exmaple we see in our daily life
for example teacher makes group to make presentation but all students did not participate well they think one or two person can do so we have more example Tug of War is the perfect exampl of social loafing

Adeenah Imran Adeenah Imran (Apr 08 2021 3:45AM) : example of social loafing more

another example could be when in an office employees are asked to work in groups but one individual feels that he is the only one working in the group and others are not. this means other members slack off and all the burden is on the one working in group.
