This will follow the format of your previous WAs. Please watch all of the Brain Games episode provided, as
well as a revisiting of the Stanford Prison Experiment (provided.) Then develop an experiment, following the
Scientific Method we have used throughout the semester, and APA format. This experiment should be one of
your own creation, and reference chapters 1-12 in your text, the Brain Games episode, The Stanford Prison
Experiment, and any additional necessary research. This experiment should also focus on a challenge related
to Social Psychology. This can be a small concern, such as cell phone use in public rather than human
interaction, or acceptance of certain music or other media. It may also be a larger concern, such as the
bathroom issue, healthcare reform, education, police interaction, or other topic. Please describe the concept
of social psychology, including primary psychologists in the field, such as Bandura, and create an experiment,
exemplifying some of the tenets of social psychology, possibly similar to those in the Brain Games episode,
possibly not. Please remember, an experiment may be a survey asking others to respond to questions and
evaluating answers.
This is your design, and the last for this course, so enjoy and be creative (and safe). Please remember to
support your research and conclusions with documentation and correct format. Please provide written
disclaimers (Informed Consent) to be signed if the study involves human test subjects. Remember, this is
worth 100 points, and it should clearly reflect the knowledge and skills you have gained to this point. Please
focus on APA, and use the Writing Manual or the OWL website as support. Even more, please focus on
describing the problem studied and why it is a problem on a sociological scale, as well as applications of
psychological study methods and critical thinking and writing skills. I am attaching the basic format for the
paper, in preparation for your final submission of your final research, as this should be practice for that,
although a condensed version. Your DB skills are getting much better; use those guidelines here. This will
serve in place of your DB this week, as I want you to post, and share with colleagues, and to practice for your
final research. I am opening it early so you may have time to prepare. This is your only assignment this week
