Discuss how prejudice and
discrimination differ when it involves coworkers and family
Social psychology looks at how the
individual functions as part of a social group, including families, peer
groups, and larger groups that support ethnic or national identity. In this
presentation, you will relate two different examples from family, work, that
demonstrate how behavior differs according to the social situation. Be sure to
name the phenomenon that is present in each example. Consider these concepts:
f. Prejudice and discrimination
The phenomena in your examples may
or may not indicate a deficit or problem that needs to be corrected. Identify
the precursors, or conditions that allow influence from social factors. After
describing the example, give an assessment of the outcomes. What happened? Was
anyone harmed? Was there any abnormal behavior that warrants therapeutic
intervention? Were there any cultural factors that limit or encourage group
influence?
