Describe a resulting social problem in the context of social psychological theory and research.
Topic: Final Paper- AshCL3WK6
Details: Prior to completing the summative assignment, consider the various topics studied by social psychologists:
• Social thinking (attitudes, the self, judgment and decision making, etc.),
• Social relations (attraction, aggression, prosocial behavior, etc.)
• Social influence (conformity and obedience, persuasion, group processes, etc.)
Consider also your own interests and career aspirations and identify a problem of interest or relevance to you and amenable to a social psychological solution. (For example, those interested in healthcare might consider programs that aspire to get kids moving or help adults stop smoking, enhance caregiving practices amongst the elderly, or encourage safe or healthy habits.). For ideas—and/or to increase awareness of the broad range of applicability of social psychological insight—browse the solutions catalog available via Stanford SPARQ at https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions (Links to an external site.); you may also contact your instructor for specific suggestions. Next, evaluate contributing social factors in light of theoretical principles and design an ethical, feasible intervention program. (Refer to “Writing a Review Article for Psychological Bulletin” (Bem, 2016) for advice regarding academic writing of this nature.
