Discuss each of the topic and respond to the question( in social psychology)
1. Compare and contrast how good we are at offering causal attributions about or own and other people behave with how good we are at forming accurate first impressions. Which type of cognitive processing style are we using for each, and does that help us understand differences in our ability to do each?
2. Compare and contrast the differences between human cognitive abilities and artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning, algorithms). What capacities do humans possess that computers do not and vice versa? How do these cognitive differences specifically relate to social cognition?
3. Occasionally, when meeting someone new, I offer my left-, rather than right-hand, for a handshake; even though I am right-handed (social psychologists are weird). How, if at all, might doing so influence the social interaction that follows, especially in the short-term.
4. Based on what we have discussed so far, in what ways are humans the same everywhere in the world and in what ways do humans differ based on the culture in which they were raised? Discuss how you might think, feel, and behave differently now had you been raised in a different culture from the one in which you were raised.
5. How are belief perseverance, belief in a just world, victim blaming, and the fundamental attribution error related? Identify and describe common themes.
6. Describe a time when you were trying to understand a social situation (e.g., why someone did what they did, who’s side to take in a disagreement). Based on what you now know about the Covariation Model, what types of information did you have available to you to inform that decision, how did you utilize that information, and ultimately did you make an internal or external attribution regarding the person’s behavior?
7. Choose an example of something happening in the world currently that nicely illustrates something we have learned about recently. Explain why you chose that example and how it relates to specific concepts about which we have learned. Can we use social psychology (or the other behavioral sciences) to help address that problem or help others better understand the issue/problem?
