...Obedience is complying with an order from another person to carry out an action. Many studies have been conducted into looking at obedience in people and what factors in a certain situation lead people to obey. In 1963, Milgram carried out a study among 40 American males between the ages of 20 and 50 years old, with the study aim being wanting to find out under what conditions would different people obey to authority under. The participants were deceived into thinking they would be emitting electric shocks, to inflict pain onto an individual when they gave a wrong answer to a question; the question being a word matching query. The participant here played the role of a teacher and the learner in this case was in fact the confederate. The shock meter went up in pain voltages as the experiment went on and more wrong answers were issued. However, there was no real pain being inflicted, just the sound of the learner acting as if he was hurt. The experiment carried on until the participant refused to obey the orders being given to them, or until the highest shock voltage of 450 volts was reached. However, stern encouragement was given to the participant by the leader of the experiment to carry on going and issue out the shocks, even though it was putting the learner through a great deal of audible pain. The experimenter would tell the teacher ‘it’s absolutely essential that you continue’ or ‘you have no choice, you must go on’. It seemed that in fact these instructions from an authoritative...

...orders to carry out immoral acts even when they know it is wrong? Under what circumstances are normal everyday people obedient to authority? Research Aim: To find out if people would obey an unjust order to inflict pain on someone else. Research Hypothesis: That people would not be willing to inflict pain on one another simply because they were told to do so. Variables: IV, DV, Extraneous: Independent Variable Dependent Variable Extraneous Variable Proximity of the learner Amount of shock administered Closeness of the authority Duration of the shock Prestige of the setting Speed of the response Presence of rebellious peers Research Method: Forty male participants were selected after replying to a newspaper ad for an obedience experiment. At the beginning of the experiment they met a man called Mr Wallis, a mild-mannered man in his fifties; who was then hooked up to a charge generator. He was in fact a confederate. The participant sat in another room and tested 'Mr Wallis' on word pairs, when he got one wrong, the participant was to give him an electric shock. These increased as more incorrect answers were given from 15 to 450 volts. Each time a shock was given a pre-recorded sound played indicating Mr Wallis in varying degrees of pain, until after 315 volts there was an eerie silence. Each time they tried to stop Milgram himself encouraged the participant to continue (this was the authority figure). Subject Selection and Allocation: Both the learner and...

...So how did I take a site from 0-450 visitors per day (on the weekend mind you, much slower) and earning over $5 per day in adsense alone AND on the first page of msn for its main keywords in less then 3 weeks. Unfortunately I won t be showing this site as I did in the last post. Due to many reasons. Only a few now about it, and heck you could probably find it anyhow. (I know the investigative powers of the warrior forum) The first step that I take when looking at building a new site is the keyword research, and topic research. There are many ways you can go about doing this. My fav way at the moment is by using The Dowser tool, also I use wordtracker and even a free tool. http://www.123promotion.co.uk/ppc/index.php Once there, start running your list ideas through the keyword tool and look for something which has a decent traffic count in overture. (I choose overture as an example because it is widely recognized). I usually target niches with 80,000 upward searches per month for the main keyword. This way you are bound to be able to drive some good traffic to your site. The recent site I picked had 1,000,000 searches per month. Then I would plug in some of the top sites into SeoElite and find out how much seo the main sites are doing and how hard or easy it is going to be to beat them. Next thing I do is research affiliate products and adsense ads available for that keyword. The adsense ads you can do either in The Dowser tool. Or you can go to http://www...

...taught me a valuable lesson; even though my dog did achieve an obedience title he showed me there are greater things in life than getting that .Training your dog for the obedience ring is a lot of hard work. We trained for months working twice a day seven days a week. While we enjoyed training I wanted to earn that obedience title so bad I it was all I could think of for months. Uconn knew all the exercises he needed to perform inside and out, backwards and forwards. I went to the ring area with Uconn early in the morning. I wanted both of us to get accustom to the sights and sounds of where the obedience ring was set up. I had a book with me to try to so some reading to relax before we went in the ring. It was a warm August day. The building we were in was a pole building at the fairgrounds. It was damp and cool in the building and I wondered if the cool air was making me feel not so great. The obedience ring was set up with white gating all around it. It was a perfect square. The matting being used was rubber and a dark green color. We found a place in the last row. The area was crowded with spectators, other exhibitors and dogs. The judge was a woman. I had seen and shown other dogs under her in the past. She was very pleasant and smiled and welcomed us in her ring. For one thing the dog is very unpredictable. It takes a lot of hard work and patience to get your dog trained. I was at an obedience trial with Uconn. There was a little boy in a wheelchair. Uconn...

...PSY/211 July 13, 2015 Donna Allgood Socialization Paper The factors that contribute to one’s attitude, Affects- emotions, Behaviors-actions, Cognitions- thoughts, the ABC’s of attitude (Carter & Seifert, 2016, Chapter 16). When our emotions, actions and thoughts are not working together it can be difficult. Finding out more about our behavior will help us learn more about our attitude. The self-perception theory says that we are not fully aware of our attitudes. Most of the time with infer our attitudes based on our behavior. It is the opposite in fact, our behavior affects our attitude. We can change our behavior and the result will be a change in attitude. Conformity is changing your thoughts or behavior with those of another (Carter & Seifert, 2016, Chapter 16). When a person conforms they change what they like or do not like, what they believe, etc., in order to fit in with a person or group. Social pressures and norms can be blamed for conformity. Obedience is a behavioral response to orders given from someone in a place of authority (Carter & Seifert, 2016, Chapter 16). Many dog owners take their dogs to obedience school where the dogs are taught to obey their owners, that is the first example of obedience that I could think of at first, then I told my daughter to go and pick her toys up, and she did, and then I realized we use obedience on a daily basis. Prejudice affect us in our everyday life. Prejudice leads to discrimination, in which almost everyone...

...Influences on Behavior Donnie Toms PSY 200 Feb 24 2013 Dr. Hawkins Social Influences on Behavior Introduction Everybody has their normal day to day life, whether that is going to work, going to school, staying at home, or doing whatever that day. Most of us have some type of social interaction on a daily basis and depending on what your day consist of dictates the type of social influences around us. We all have our own thoughts, feelings and actions, but when we are around other people those same thoughts, feelings and actions could be different. When you are at work the atmosphere is professional and work related, but if you are out with friends having some fun the atmosphere is more party like. The change in social influences dictates our behavior and what we deem to be appropriate. Social influence is defined as “the process wherein one person's attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors are changed as a result of interaction with another individual or with a group” (Stavrositu 2011). Social Behaviors There are various types of social behaviors that people exhibit depending on the influences around us. These influences can be conformity, the act of matching our attitude, beliefs and behaviors with a group of people. Conformity is when we would adapt what the culture deems normal and include that into our daily lives even when alone. Peer pressure is the influence put on us by a peer group or any individual to change our attitude, beliefs, or behaviors. Peer pressure...

...The phenomena of human behavior is a highly sophisticated marvel that has transformed and adapted over time. Human beings have had to learn to work in isolation and in groups in order to survive. Fascinatingly, research has shown that working in groups and interactions with others has a significant impact on an individual’s behavior. However, not all examples of humans working in groups are positive. Perhaps the most shameful and horrifying example of the power of human behavior in groups, would be from the influence of Nazism. Pre-Nazi Germany was called the Weimar Republic prior to Hitler’s rule, discrimination, and totalitarianism. It was created after World War I when the Kaiser at the time was removed from power and a semi-presidential...

...I heard of someone being disciplined by their parents, I always thought they had gotten a spanking. Later, I soon learned that when you discipline someone you help to guide them in the right direction, you steer them from the wrong they’ve done. For instance, I disciplined my child just last night by taking away his iPad because he has been being mean to his teacher. When she asks him to do something, he tells her no. When he made it home yesterday I sat him down and talked to him about his behavior and I let him that it was unacceptable. He did much better today. “Discipline is based on logical and natural consequences; it is concerned with the present. Options are kept open so students can choose to improve behavior and gain self-control. Discipline is an active teaching process which involves communication. It is organized and ensures involvement of all stakeholders.” (EDU 536 Lectures) “The tactics that teachers use to manage student behavior are referred to as discipline or behavior management.” (Charles, 2008, p. 9) “Classroom management refers to all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that instruction in content and student learning can take place” (Wong and Wong, 1998, p. 84). My definition of classroom management is simply how a teacher manages his/her classroom. For instance, Ms. Ward, a teacher whom I work with, students come in every morning and takes what they need out of their backpacks and then put them where...

...Social Behavior Dai Rainge October 8th 2015 Charlene Tolbert An attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor, to an object, person, place, or thing. There are various factors that attribute to attitude including affects, behaviors, and cognitions. Changing behavior influences attitude. As adult our behaviors tend to follow preconceived notions or biases but as children attitude is molded by behaviors and surroundings. Affects can also from someone’s opinions’, and feelings at the moment. Things such as situations’, a move, or a social change like bullying can affect an adolescent’s viewpoint on school. Belief systems such as religion and morale can also change a person’s attitude on others and their behaviors. Prejudice, attraction, and aggression are three factors that have a major attribution on social interaction. Racism is something that is having a major impact on America at this time. Between police brutality and feelings of distress in the urban community it creates viewpoints that therefore shape America for the worst it and it has become something that is having an overall effect on peoples’ political views, and views of each other. Without racism being mentioned there are many other prejudices that have an effect on common...

...An Analysis of Social Psychology People have been curious since the dawn of time and this curiosity has driven us to learn from and to understand the world around us. In order to fully understand our world, it was necessary for people to develop a method of study to explain what they experienced through the application of evaluation and analysis. Social psychology is the study of how people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by other people (Kenrick, Neuberg & Cialdini, 2010). Social psychology is a division of psychology that analyzes the individual and their mental processes and how this can be applied to that persons interactions with society and also how interacting with society can influence the individuals thinking and behavior. By studying how people interact with each other, psychologists have been able to explain why people behave in certain ways and what their rationales are for their behavior. Social psychology is about understanding individual behavior in a social context, particularly the reciprocal interaction between the individual and the group that individual interacts with. As a scientific discipline, social psychology has only been around for a little longer that a hundred years. Since there are multiple ways to evaluate and attempt to understand how and why people interact with each other, social psychology has been referred to as a bridge discipline (Kenrick et al., 2010). This means that social psychology can be applied to...

...makes some people followers rather than leaders? At what point does racism form and why does it form in the first place? These are but some of the queries that involve the arena of social psychology. Social psychology is really just a branch of psychology that takes an in depth look at people in a social context. It is a mix of personalities, behavior, feelings and motivation and how it’s influenced by others and society. There are many facets that this discipline looks at, from how people behave when in groups to society’s perception of values and moral behavior. It covers a wide range of topics. Anyone that has ever lived has had their behavior influenced by other individuals. Observing other people and how they behave is how we learned to behave. If a child were to be raised by a pack of wild wolves then that child would grow up to exhibit behavior tendencies more akin to them then he would to other human beings. Simply because that is everything the child ever knew. So it is easy to see how social influences can affect behavior in us and in others. There are numerous ways that people can have an impact on our behavior, though maybe the most significant one is that having others around seems to build up expectations. We naturally assume for people to behave a certain way in certain situations. Each social setting has its own set of requirements and expectations about the appropriate way to behave. These expectations differ from group to group. Looking at roles...

...Running head: WHAT IS HUMAN SERVICES? 1 What is Human Services? Jacque Engel BSHS 301 August 31, 2011 Reina Menasche WHAT IS HUMAN SERVICES? 2 What is Human Services? Taking a walk through four chapters of Introduction to Human Services by Martin (2007), we begin to grasp the wide variety of skills involved in the Human Services field. There are hospice agents spending time with the terminally ill and activists lobbing in the prevention of child abuse, each having the ultimate passion to help others in need. As the range is large where each human service agent may affect, the result is clear that from the beginning of time Human Service agents in one form or another have been around, and the field has changed as our world has changed, although the goal of helping those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged has remained the same. The Goal of Human Services: Martin (2007) describes “the chief goal of the human service professional is to support individuals as well as communities function at their maximum potential, overcoming personal and social barriers as effectively as possible in the major domains of living”(para.12). As mentioned earlier, the human service field has a broad range of careers involved which is essential for the wide variety of populations that are served. With each social worker, hospice agent, or public school counselor, needs are being met in a wide variety of populations. The goal is to reach people in their time of need to allow each individual...
