00:01 All right, so this question is asking, a blank is a set of group expectations for appropriate thoughts and behaviors of its members.

00:09 A, social role, b, social norm, c, script, or d, attribution.

00:17 So to really answer this question, we have to understand the definition, or at least gauge some sort of idea about the definitions of each term that were given as an answer.

00:28 So to me, what immediately stands out and not really belonging is the word attribution, because attribution is basically just an explanation of behavior.

00:49 In commonly talking, we know that when we attribute something to another thing, we're kind of associating it or explaining that.

00:56 In social psychology is basically that same definition but applied to behavior.

01:00 We attribute someone's behavior to their internal factors or their situational factors.

01:07 So in that way, it's not really talking about any sort of group setting or group expectations.

01:12 So d can be eliminated.

01:15 And kind of just going up the list, we have script.

01:19 Script stands out to me because it doesn't mention any sort of group sort of thing, like right off the bat.

01:25 When i see a and b and i see social, i kind of assume, okay, there must be some sort of interaction among people going on while script.

01:32 Script for me doesn't sort of gauge that sort of thinking.

01:40 And this holds true because script is basically a single person's knowledge about the events expected in a specific setting.

01:47 So basically this stems from social roles and social norms and that in a group setting, this is a person's knowledge on what is about to happen because of that setting.

01:57 So you could think of it as like when you have a script for say a play or a show, it's, everything that you're supposed to say in a certain given amount of time.

02:07 And in that same way, it's like in this sort of sense, it's a person's knowledge of what's about to happen.

02:15 So i just think of it as knowledge of events, but this would most likely pertain to a specific setting...
