Social psychology

Social psychology
Social psychologists therefore deal with the factors that lead us to behave in a given way in the presence of others, and look at the conditions under which certain behavior/actions and feelings occur. Social psychology is concerned with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions and goals are constructed and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence our interactions with others. In addition to the split between psychology and sociology, there has been a somewhat less pronounced difference in emphasis between American social psychologists and European social psychologists. History[edit] Although there was some older treaties about social psychology such as those by Islamic philosopher Al-Farabi (Alpharabius).[4] The discipline of social psychology, as its modern day definition, began in the United States at the dawn of the 20th century. Intrapersonal phenomena[edit] Attitudes[edit] Persuasion[edit] Social cognition[edit] Heuristics are cognitive short cuts. Research[edit]

Not Another Icebreaker! I was recently privy to a conversation about icebreakers—folks were exploring whether icebreakers are successful or not. I learned a lot about why some people love them and a lot of people hate them. On Thin Ice Lots of people hear the word "icebreaker" and cringe. Icebreakers are perceived as touchy-feely, frivolous, and a big waste of time. Others suggest the dislike of icebreakers may not be so much a reflection of the culture but of the individuals themselves. Still, despite their bad reputation, icebreakers remain a highly valued component of many learning sessions, no matter the age, level, or geographic location of the learners. The first suggestion to improve the effectiveness of icebreaker activities involves changing the name. What to Call Them? As a marketer myself, I am keenly aware of a brand in need of a makeover. Why Bother? Whatever you choose to call them, trainers around the world keep using icebreakers because they are powerful tools. The Right Way Tell them everything.

Nicht-Ort Der Begriff Nicht-Ort (frz. non-lieu, engl. non-place) bezeichnet ein Gedankengebäude des französischen Anthropologen Marc Augé. Nicht-Orte sind insbesondere mono-funktional genutzte Flächen im urbanen und suburbanen Raum wie Einkaufszentren (Shopping Malls), Autobahnen, Bahnhöfe und Flughäfen. Der Unterschied zum traditionellen, insbesondere anthropologischen Ort besteht im Fehlen von Geschichte, Relation und Identität, sowie in einer kommunikativen Verwahrlosung. Vorläufer einer Theorie der Nicht-Orte[Bearbeiten] Bereits vor Marc Augé beschäftigten sich Wissenschaftler mit dem Wandel des städtischen Raumes. „[The] weakening of the identity of places to the point where they not only look alike but feel alike and offer the same bland possibilities for experience“ (Relph 1976, 90). „In general, the heterotopic site is not freely accessible like a public place. Der Begriff Nicht-Ort wurde schließlich von Michel de Certeau in seinem Hauptwerk Kunst des Handelns geprägt. Non-Lieux[Bearbeiten]

David Riesman David Riesman (September 22, 1909 – May 10, 2002) was a sociologist, educator and best-selling commentator on American society. Career[edit] The Lonely Crowd[edit] Horowitz says The Lonely Crowd: A Study of the Changing American Character in 1950: quickly became the nation’s most influential and widely read mid-century work of social and cultural criticism. The book is largely a study of modern conformity, which postulates the existence of the "inner-directed" and "other-directed" personalities. Ironically, this creates a tightly grouped crowd of people that is yet incapable of truly fulfilling each other's desire for sexual pleasure. American higher education[edit] In addition to his many other publications, Riesman was also a noted commentator on American higher education, publishing, with his seminal work, The Academic Revolution co-written with Christopher Jencks.

Other Concept[edit] A person's definition of the 'Other' is part of what defines or even constitutes the self (in both a psychological and philosophical sense) and other phenomena and cultural units. It has been used in social science to understand the processes by which societies and groups exclude 'Others' whom they want to subordinate or who do not fit into their society. The concept of 'otherness' is also integral to the comprehending of a person, as people construct roles for themselves in relation to an 'other' as part of a process of reaction that is not necessarily related to stigmatization or condemnation.[citation needed] Othering is imperative to national identities, where practices of admittance and segregation can form and sustain boundaries and national character. History[edit] The concept that the self requires the Other to define itself is an old one and has been expressed by many writers: Husserl used the idea as a basis for intersubjectivity.

Fremde Das Fremde bezeichnet etwas, das als abweichend von Vertrauten wahrgenommen wird, das heißt aus Sicht dessen, der diesen Begriff verwendet, als etwas (angeblich) Andersartiges oder weit Entferntes. Fremdheit kann positive Assoziationen im Sinne von Exotik oder negative Assoziationen hervorrufen. Menschen, die als in diesem Sinne fremd wahrgenommen werden, werden als Fremde bezeichnet, im Gegensatz zu Bekannten und Vertrauten. Als fremd wahrgenommenen Regionen oder auch Fachbereiche werden als fremde , im Gegensatz zu Heimat , bezeichnet. Die Unterscheidung von Eigenem und Fremdem ist eine Grunderfahrung des Menschen, der - parallel zur Entfaltung seines Ich - verschiedene Grade von Fremdheit bzw. Zugehörigkeit erfährt. Die Antike erkannte das Fremde vor allem in der Dimension der unterschiedlichen Sprache (griechisch: βάρβαρος, bárbaros, Plural βάρβαροι, bárbaroi; der Barbar ist der Fremde, der unverständlich spricht).

Persuasive technology Persuasive technology is broadly defined as technology that is designed to change attitudes or behaviors of the users through persuasion and social influence, but not through coercion.[1] Such technologies are regularly used in sales, diplomacy, politics, religion, military training, public health, and management, and may potentially be used in any area of human-human or human-computer interaction. Most self-identified persuasive technology research focuses on interactive, computational technologies, including desktop computers, Internet services, video games, and mobile devices,[2] but this incorporates and builds on the results, theories, and methods of experimental psychology, rhetoric,[3] and human-computer interaction. The design of persuasive technologies can be seen as a particular case of design with intent.[4] Taxonomies[edit] Functional Triad[edit] Persuasive technologies can be categorized by their functional roles. Direct interaction v. mediation[edit] Persuasion design[edit]
