The intent of social psychology research has been and still is to explain how circumstances are more a power determinant of individual behavior than our own intuitions lead us to believe.

Discussion 2: Obedience
The intent of social psychology research has been and still is to explain how circumstances are more a power determinant of individual behavior than our own intuitions lead us to believe. Research on obedience and compliance is focused less on explaining why obedience can be a good thing—which it can—and more on explaining why people obey/comply with demands when they would likely prefer not to or when the demands compel them to do bad things (e.g., the classic Milgram and Stanford Prison studies).

Many are familiar with the experience of being tasked by someone in authority (e.g., a teacher, work supervisor, athletic coach) to do something of questionable value and which may be counterproductive. The demand itself appears to be arbitrary and may serve only to establish the authority of the person making it.

For this Discussion, you will share social conformity situations that you have experienced and apply social psychology theory to explain your actions in those situations.

To Prepare

Review the Learning Resources related to conformity and obedience and consider how they would apply to this Discussion.
Consider a time when you have experienced when compliance with a task was required. Even when you believe d that time could have been better spent doing something more productive. The task may have come from a teacher, supervisor, coach, or other authority figure.

If you complied with the order, reflect on why. If you did not, reflect on why you did not comply.

By Day 4
Post an example of a time when you complied with an authority person’s demand, despite thinking it was not a good use of your time. Please explain why you did. Then, give an example of a time when you refused to comply; explain why. Your post must be informed by social psychology theory and research.

By Day 6

Respond to at least one of your colleagues and comment on what you would have done in these two situations. Given the situation, would you have done what your class colleague did in order to comply? Why, or why not?

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the social psychology theory and research. In addition to the Learning Resources, search the Walden Library and/or Internet for peer-reviewed articles to support your post and responses. Use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.

Note:  For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will be able to view and respond to your colleagues’ postings.

Remember, once you click on Submit, you cannot delete or edit your own posts, and you cannot post anonymously. Please check your post carefully before clicking on Submit!

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights that you have gained as a result of your colleagues’ comments.

This is a paper that is focusing on Are eyewitness identifications reliable in forensic psychology. The paper also provides the element requirements to achieve in writing the paper.

Are eyewitness identifications reliable in forensic psychology

The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to more deeply examine a specific aspect of forensic psychology and to gain additional insight into how psychology may be applied to the legal arena. Specifically, this assignment will demonstrate the continual challenge between the legal system and psychology in terms of identifying the usefulness of psychological knowledge. As such, you are to think about the question below and write an essay that describes how and when relating psychological knowledge can best be to answer this question.

The overarching goals of the assignment are to:
(1) Firstly, identify the main area of psychology that relates to the question below and demonstrate how the question “fits” within this area of psychology,
(2) Secondly, identify and describe the concepts of system and estimator variables as they apply to eyewitness reliability
(3) Thirdly, select one estimator variable and one system variable from the list below and describe the variable as well as relate it a peer-reviewed journal article, and
(4) Fourthly, combine the information from the description of the factors to indicate exactly what role psychology can effectively play in addressing the statement you selected.

Question: Are eyewitness identifications reliable?

Impediments to Learning and Memory
Once you have learned cognitive theories and models you can begin to use them to help understand challenges that individuals experience with learning and cognition. In this assignment you will practice applying theories and models to help your understanding of several case studies:
Firstly, Teaching his Girlfriend to Read Again.
Secondly,  Learning to Live After Brain Injury.
Thirdly,  Don’t Forget.

This is a paper that is focusing on the Mother and child Learning and Behavior assignment. The paper also provides a brief case on the a mother and child scenario for this assignment paper.

Mother and child Learning and Behavior assignment

Learning and Behavior
Please type your answers to the questions below. You are to work entirely alone on the exam. You may refer to your book, your class notes, or any other non-living source. Please answer all questions thoroughly and completely. Short, one paragraph answers are unlikely to earn you full credit. Each question is worth 10 points.

1. A mother left her young child playing outside in the garden and went into the house to get a cup of coffee. When the mother returned a few minutes later, she saw her young child playing with a large brown snake. Some months later, the mother took the child to a psychologist for treatment because the child was showing extreme distress at the presence of any long cylindrical object such as the hose to the vacuum cleaner. Explain what has happened (why the child is responding this way) and why it happened. In addition to your description, diagram your answer using the system and notation we learned in classical conditioning. Finally, describe a technique the psychologist might use to “cure” the child of this extreme distress.

2. Secondly, compare and contrast the blocking and overshadowing effects we studied with classical conditioning. Next, using the Rescorla-Wagner theory, explain how these effects might occur with an example. Finally, explain, using the Rescorla-Wagner theory, why a dog would salivate more to the smell of food than to the sound of another dog eating food.

3.  Thirdly, describe how a psychologist could successfully treat alcohol addiction using classical conditioning. As part of your answer, diagram the process whereby the addictive behavior could be eliminated.

4. Fourthly, a psychologist has developed a treatment she believes will prevent child abuse. Unfortunately, the psychologist was unable to find enough people who abuse their children to conduct a study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment. Ignoring the ethical considerations of such an experiment, design a study that would accomplish the following:
a. produce a sufficient sample of child abusers for the study
b. demonstrate conclusively a cause and effect relationship between the treatment and a reduction in child abuse
