Instructions:

Students must create one (1) original thread and two (2) replies to the instructors and/or other students discussion threads. The content of both the original post and the replies will reflect the students informed opinion, analysis, or observation regarding the prompt/topic. Elaborate as much as possible, and using your own words, refer to specific content in the textbook chapters to support your ideas. Do not quote directly from the textbook; paraphrase and cite your source.

Refer back to the chapters using in-text citations that include the textbook authors last name and year of publication, in addition to page numbers when appropriate, and use correct APA style (7th edition) formatting for those in-text citations. After your response, include the full reference for each chapter that you cite, using correct APA style formatting. Remember to use proper grammar, syntax, and punctuation in all posts, and remember to be respectful and considerate in all your posts.

For Discussion Forum 1, please choose ONE (1) of the following prompts:

Chapter 1: What Do Social Psychologists Do?

Most students in a social psychology class will not go on to become social psychologists. Visit the Social Psychology Network website and read the information on what social psychologists do: . What problems or issues does the site say social psychologists focus on, the method social psychologists use, or the training required to become a social psychologist?

Chapter 2: Culture

The textbook suggests that one of the things that makes humans different is culture, we are cultural animals. Primate lovers may disagree with this statement. For this assignment visit a website that discusses animal culture. The website can be found at: . After reading the material and the textbook description of culture, provide your opinion of whether humans are the only animals that have more than the rudiments of culture. You must state your opinion and provide at least two arguments to support that opinion.

Chapter 3: Define Yourself

Define Yourself. Write a paragraph or two telling us who you are.

You may point out the following:

• What part of the self-did you write about (self-knowledge, interpersonal self, executive function)?
• Did you describe how you came upon this knowledge of yourself? If so point out which of the textbooks ways of knowing about the self this fits under. If not, consider now where this self-knowledge comes from and relate it to the material from the text.
• Did you mention your self-changing? If so, what seemed to promote that growth?
• What do you notice in your self-description that might be based on an illusion?
• Did you engage in any self-presentation tactics?
