INTRODUCTIONFor the final assignment of social psychology, we are required to carry out a

social psychology conceptual video clip. We have to use the concepts from a

choice of topics taught and discussed in class. The five concepts were applied in

the story and the story is demonstrated and acted by each of the group member.

Next, we are also required to write a report based on our short video and

present it during class. Our group members are Marco Leong, Syasya, Choo Zi

Zhao, Sam Wei Yin and Ngieng Tien Yung. After two time meetings, we have

decided to create a short video about how a child to get his parents attention by

doing negative ways. The concepts that are applied in our story are social

influence, self verification, self perception, operant conditioning and prejudice.

Lastly, this assignment will help us to learn and understand more the

connection between concepts and perspective within psychology and with others

disciplines.

CONCEPT AND DEFINITION

In this video, we were applied 5 concepts and demonstrated through the acting of each group members. The 5 concepts are social influence, self verification, self-fulfilling prophecy, operant conditioning and prejudice.

The first concept in our video is social influence. Social influence is the change in behavior that

person causes in another, as a result of the way the changed person perceives themselves in relationship to the influencer.

Next, the second concept is self verification theory. It is a theory that asserts people want to be known and understood by others according to their firmly held beliefs and feelings about themselves, that is self-views which including self concepts and self-esteem.

The third concept used is self-fulfilling prophecy. It is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes it to be fulfilled, by the very terms of the prophecy itself.

The fourth concept used is operant conditioning. Sometimes it referred to instrumental conditioning. It is a process of behavior modification in which a subject is encouraged to behave in a desired manner through positive or negative reinforcement, so that the subject comes to associate the pleasure or displeasure of the reinforcement with the behavior.

The last concept used in our video is prejudice. Prejudice is an unjustified or incorrect attitude towards an individual based solely on the individual’s membership of a social group.

ii. STORYLINE

Choo comes from a highly educated family. Both of his parents are very successful in their career. During his primary school years, Choo was the top student in his class. Unfortunately, his parents do not always acknowledge or appreciate his result academics due to their busy work schedule. Choo became friends with a girl named Syasya who had the same problem that he was facing with his parents. His new friend influenced him to steal in order to get attention from his parents. Since becoming friends with Syasya, Choo started to behave very badly. Sadly, his parents were not aware of his change in attitude.

Choo started stealing money from his parents. When his parents found out that he had been stealing money from them, they took the initiative to scold Choo by pointing him out as a naughty and bad boy instead of teaching him what is right and wrong. So because of what his parents said, Choo continued to behave in the same way as he began to believe what they had said to him.

Few days later, Choo began stealing again, this time he stole money from a student named James who was his classmate. Choo surreptitiously stole money from James’s bag while Syasya was on the lookout. James found out that it was Choo who had stolen his money as Choo had accidently left his test paper on the table near James’s bag. Then, James confronted Choo and accused him of stealing his money. Choo became furious and shoved James to the wall. James got frightened and ran off to call the police.

Soon after the incident, Choo's parents was called by a police officer, saying that Choo had stolen money and acted violently towards a student. So because of that, Choo was sent to the Juvenile prison. Choo was released after spending a few weeks in the Juvenile prison. Since then, Choo turned over a new leaf. He wanted to continue school, so he applied to a top private school since he was a top student

in his previous school. Unfortunately, the school rejected Choo because of his criminal history.

iv. APPLICATION OF CONCEPTSThe first concept applied in this video is social influences. Choo was a top student when he still in primary school. This is because Choo is influenced by his parent since both of his parent was lawyer and doctor. Next, Choo also influenced by his friend syasya to steal.

The second concept in this storyline is self verification. Choo want his parent to see his existing in this family. Choo’s parent always busy with their career. They have no time for Choo and they did not give any attention to Choo. Therefore, to show himself to his parent Choo study hard to become a top student. However, his parent did not appreciate his effort.

Next, the third concept applied in this video is self-fulfilling prophecy. This occur when Choo was caught by his parent stealing money from them. One day, Choo take money from his mother wallet when his mother picking up a phone call and leave her wallet on the table. Choo’s mother realise her wallet had touched by someone, and only Choo and she was at home. Choo mother told Choo’s father that she suspect Choo had stolen money from her. So, Choo was called by his father and his father had found some big amount of money in Choo’s pocket. Choo’s parent feel disappointed. They say Choo is a thief and was a bad boy. Due to this sentence Choo start to misbehave and believe what his parent said he was a Thief.

The fourth concept which is the operant conditioning is applied in the story where Choo stole money and acted violently towards his classmate; James. So because of this, Choo was sent to a juvenile prison as a punishment.

Last concept in this video is prejudice. After Choo released from Juvenile prison. Choo wanted to continue his study.However, his school do not accept him due to his criminal record.

CONCLUSION Conclusion, social psychology is a project help us understanding and study of how people’s thoughts but also behaviors are influenced by the actual imagined, or implied presence of others. In this course, it help us adapt into the social in future.

This final project not only strengthen the bond between me and my teammates, but also helping us understanding how important social psychology is.
