As mentioned in chapter 2, psychology is typically defined as the scientific study of behavior and metal processes, with mental processes further broken down into affect (emotion) and cognition (thoughts, memories, judgments). The psychology of social class, then, has to do with affect (emotions), cognition, and behaviors that have something to do with social class. So … what examples of social class-related affect, behavior, and cognition can you find in the essay “The Breadwinner” found at the beginning of Chapter 2? Provide at least two examples for each and be specific enough so I know what part of the essay you’re writing about.
NOTE: “Affect” here is a noun that in psychology means emotion. Don’t confuse it with the verb to “affect” something, and don’t confuse it with the “effects” of social class. Think like a psychologist!
