Key Concepts

Social Norms

Social norms are the unwritten rules and shared expectations about how individuals should behave in specific situations or groups. They are learned through socialization and guide behavior in everyday interactions, enabling people to function smoothly within their communities by knowing what is considered appropriate or acceptable.

Social Influence

Social influence is the process by which individuals adjust their behaviors, attitudes, or beliefs as a result of real or perceived pressure from others. This concept encompasses various forms of influence, including conformity to group norms and expectations, which leads individuals to act in ways that align with the behaviors typical of their social groups.

Normative Behavior

It involves performing in ways that are accepted and expected by others in a given context, which helps maintain group cohesion and order by aligning individual behavior with shared standards.

00:01 So this question is asking, on his first day of soccer practice, jose suits up in a t -shirt, shorts, and cleats, and runs out to the field to join his teammates.

00:11 Jose's behavior is reflected of a, script, b, social influence, c, good athletic behavior, or d, normative behavior.

00:24 So i think this is one of those questions where you really have to think about the situation, read it, thoroughly and apply your knowledge to the specifics of what this question is asking.

00:37 So right off the bat, i think i could eliminate good athletic behavior because, yes, it is talking about, you know, he's part of a soccer team and he's getting ready.

00:51 I just, in speaking on terms of social psychology, it's not something that would be a viable answer because it's not being explained by any sort of psychology other than, yes, it's good athletic behavior to, you know, be come prepared to practice.

01:06 So because of that, it's not, like, just thinking about how we're answering this, thinking about what we're studying.

01:11 It just doesn't apply, although it is a good assumption to make.

01:17 It's just not applicable to the situation when talking about psychology.

01:21 Just one of those, like, common sense things, leaving us a script, social influence, and normative behavior.

01:28 So normative behavior basically stems from normative social influence and it's this idea that because of the social influence to have this need to want to be accepted into the group you exhibit normative behavior that that sort of group influences you to be in and that's why i'm kind of assessing b and d similarly or in the same situation because when you're talking about social influence whether it be informational or normative we are talking about the influence of a group setting and you're probably thinking, all right, this is probably it.

02:04 Like he wants to be accepted into the group.

02:07 And so he does all these things in order to be accepted...
