No instructions provided

Journal rules:

1. In ONE paragraph, explain what you are going to talk about.
2. Sometimes this means you simply need to define of the social psychological concept. It must be RELEVANT to the module the book covers.
3. Sometimes, instead, you need to explain the social psychological concept you are about to discuss in the next paragraph (e.g., if you are discussing the importance of knowing the difference between correlational information compared to experimental information).
4. In a 2nd (new) paragraph, detail a PERSONAL experience with the social psychological concept. Either explain how YOU demonstrated the social psychological concept, or saw something happen, or saw someone else demonstrate the social psychological concept. Do NOT simply paraphrase a lesson or example about the concept. You had to have viewed or experienced it personally (not in our class).
5. When in doubt, email your journal to the instructor at least a day in advance (or call her and let her know you are emailing it to her to review).

Only provide ONE idea/concept (with associated personal example) in each “journal.”

See example in attachment.

Assignment 1: Chapter 3 Social Cognition Below is the question for this assignment. You may use your book and your notes to help you to answer the question. You must, however, answer in your own words. Choose one of the heuristics. Provide a detailed explanation of that heuristic. Then provide an example of a situation demonstrating the use of that heuristic. response should be 2 paragraphs in length 150 words per paragraph 300 words in total provide, in your own words, a detailed explanation of the heuristic. Demonstrate your understanding of the heuristic of choice by discussing real life example/experience.

Carefully read the below instructions and all information in the provided links. Then choose ONE of the following prompts for your Initial Thread Post:

• SCHEMAS: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of schemas.
• IAT: Discuss Harvards Implicit Association Test (IAT), with a supporting view or critical disagreement.
• JUDGMENTAL HEURISTICS: Discuss one of the judgmental heuristics people use, and the advantages and disadvantages of its automatic use.
• NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION: Discuss an aspect of nonverbal communication of interest to you.

• CULTURE AND THOUGHT PROCESSES: Discuss a specific cultural difference in social cognition or social perception.

DISCUSSION FORUM INSTRUCTIONS

Discussion Forums in this course are designed to: (i) promote deeper critical thinking on topics introduced in the course; (ii) teach students how to obtain artificial intelligence (AI) through ChatGPT and critically assess information produced by AI; (iii) enable each student to learn more about a topic of interest to them involving social psychology; (iv) use scientific journal articles to back up thoughts and opinions, which broadens knowledge and gives opinions credibility; (v) learn how to cite and reference sources in APA format (the international format for scientific writing, published by the American Psychological Association); and (vi) enter into discourse on topics involving social psychology with classmates.

After finishing readings in the related Learning Module(s) and thinking about the concepts introduced, you will:

1. USE CHAT GPT TO MAKE AN INITIAL THREAD POST. Begin a conversation with ChatGPT to obtain NEW information on one of the prompts in a Discussion Forum (not information already clearly addressed in lecture or our textbook), in an effort to expand your knowledge in an area of personal interest. Obtaining good ChatGPT output is an iterative process, which means if you dont like what you see on the first try you can continue a conversation with ChatGPT to improve the prior output (you can also always clear the conversation and begin again). Continue the conversation until you are satisfied with the output.

When you are satisfied with your ChatGPT output, make an Initial Thread Post in the Forum by clicking on Reply directly underneath these instructions. The Initial Thread Post should be formatted as shown below and include the indicated information:

Title: Here you should type a unique short title that describes the prompt topic you chose. Please be diligent in creating a short descriptive title; there are a lot of students in this class and a good title will help students quickly find topics of interest (or avoid topics that may trigger a negative reaction).

ChatGPT Output: After typing ChatGPT Output: to identify the source, copy and paste 200-300 words from the GPT output (whatever portions of the AI you would like to share with the class). DO NOT ADD ANY OF YOUR OWN WORDS HERE, COPY AND PASTE ONLY WHAT AI HAS PROVIDED; YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD YOUR OWN THOUGHTS IN STEP 2. Include an APA-compliant citation and reference for the ChatGPT information.

Reference: Provide a formal reference for the ChatGPT source of information, which should take the form shown below. The ChatGPT http link provided in the reference should be the unique link to your ChatGPT conversation so that anyone interested can see your entire conversation with ChatGPT and how you improved the output through an iterative process. [Check the link to make sure it works!]

Reference

OpenAI. (2025). ChatGPT (Aug 7 version 5) [Large multimodal model]. https://chatgpt.com/share/…

[Note: The reference and cite will change, based on the version of ChatGPT you are using and the date it was trained.

1. for more information. The inoperable link in blue in the above reference example will be unique for your ChatGPT conversation and should be operable in your post Reference. See Instructions on How to Get Started in ChatGPT to learn how to obtain an operable link for your conversation. Centering of the Reference title and a hanging indent in the reference, to make this reference totally APA compliant, was omitted because this formatting is not available in Canvas Discussion Forums.]FIRST RESPONSE – RESPOND TO YOUR OWN INITIAL THREAD POST IN YOUR OWN. Post a response that either supports or disagrees with the ChatGPT information by clicking on Reply underneath your own Initial Thread Post. Your response to your own Initial Thread Post should include the indicated information:

New Contribution to Own Initial Thread Post: Find a scientific journal article that supports your agreement or disagreement. Briefly describe the selected article in your own words (do not use direct quotes) and include an APA-compliant citation for the article in your text with a complete reference at the end of the text.

Attach PDF: Attach a pdf of the complete study cited and referenced in the post.

Steps 1 and 2 must be completed before the published deadline to be eligible for full credit. This deadline before the Forum closes is critical to give everyone plenty of posts to respond to in Step 3 below, to successfully complete the assignment before the Forum closes.

1. SECOND RESPONSE – RESPOND TO A CLASSMATES INITIAL THREAD POST. Before the Forum closes, comment on someone elses Initial Thread Post and First Response that you find of interest, that is on a different prompt than your initial thread post, and to which you can add new perspective (to be eligible for full credit new information must be added to a thread that is on a different prompt than the one you explored in Steps 1-2). Click on Reply directly underneath the post to which you wish to respond. The Response to a classmates Initial Thread Post should be formatted as shown below and include the indicated information:

Title: Provide the name of the classmate you are replying to, and the title of their post. This is critical in the event the TA grading your work needs to find/see the context you are responding to in the Discussion Forum (when grading each student in Canvas grades, only the students posts can be seen).

Evaluation and New Contribution: Agree or disagree with some aspect of the selected Initial Thread Post or First Response ChatGPT, and when doing so make it clear why you agree or disagree through the addition of new information on the topic obtained from a scientific journal article. Include an APA-compliant citation for the source of information in your text with a complete reference at the end of the text. Do not plagiarize a human or ChatGPT hereparaphrase (put everything into your own words).

Attach PDF: Attach a pdf of the complete study cited and referenced in the post.

NOTE: ChatGPT sometimes hallucinates and provides false information. If you identify false information generated by ChatGPT on the topic, are the first to do so, and successfully refute the false information with a credible cite and reference, you will receive a 12-point bonus (yes, that means extra credit!). You may add an additional post to do this if after making the required posts you find false information that was not previously addressed by another student.

As discussed on Week 2, throughout the term, you will work on portions of a Research Proposal which will be submitted as a completed assignment in the last week of the course. The purpose of the Research Proposal is to provide learners with the opportunity to apply course learnings while designing an original research study and conducting a literature review. You will apply your understanding of research design concepts to your research study idea and compile a completed proposal, though you will not actually conduct the study. As a reminder from Week 2: A few important things to keep in mind: You research proposal must be some type of quantitative research study. DO NOT design a qualitative or mixed-methods study. Your proposed study can be an experimental or nonexperimental study. You’ll be learning about specific types of quantitative designs in your chapter readings. THIS WEEK: You will complete your Research Proposal Introduction section by combining your literature review (from Week 2) with an overview of your topic and your proposed study. 1) You will begin your proposal introduction by identifying the specific problem area (what it is, why it is important) and the prevalence/scope of the problem. 2) You should then lead into your literature review which you completed in Week 2. 3) Then, at the end of each summary/critique (for each article you reviewed) add a sentence or two explaining how it relates to your research proposal/proposed idea and/or how you will use the article in your research. 4) Lastly, at the very end of your introduction, you should state the purpose of your study and research question(s), including hypotheses if applicable. *Your response should be 750 words or more (with the inclusion of you Week 2 literature review), and should be submitted in APA format. *You must submit a Word document only (do not submit a PDF or any other format – I cannot give annotated feedback on these formats on blackboard) *Remember, only use direct quotes when absolutely necessary. For this assignment, there should be 1-2 quotes at maximum (if any).

The uploaded PDF contains complete instructions for the research paper, including required structure, grading criteria, and all specifications. Please note: this paper must make an original contribution to the field with a strong analytical argument – it should not be descriptive or summarize existing work. Minimum 25 sources required, though more are welcome if relevant to the analysis.

For your assigned research demonstration, please find: (1) general instructions for your demonstration; (2) online data collection procedure screenshots; and (3) the data collected. Please see the Research Demonstration Project Module on Canvas for more details on each aspect of the project. Demographics have been posted in the Project Module.

You will meet with your teammate during classes this coming week on 1/27 and 1/29 to work on presentation preparations, while I am available to help you with your statistical analyses and answer any questions. Please join class on Tuesday prepared to be productive. That means each of you should have downloaded SPSS (see my 1/22 Canvas Announcement for download instructions) and reviewed all information in the Research Demonstration Project Module (including project instructions). To get off to a running start in your first team meeting on Tuesday, begin researching your assigned topic now and take a look at the statistical analysis and graph(s) required for your presentation (short videos on how to conduct statistical procedures can be found in the Project Module (click on Statistical Analysis and Reporting).

Your completed presentation PowerPoint must be uploaded through the portal on Canvas no later than Sunday, 2/1. Presentations will begin on Tuesday, 2/3. Should you have any questions on your demonstration that cant wait until class sessions, please use ‘Reply All’ from within the most recent communication – this will enable me to quickly see a history of dialog on the demonstration that is often necessary for a response and ensure that all team members see all communications.
