Concepts applied in the video

Concept 1: Perspective in social psychology There are different perspectives in social psychology, which are sociocultural perspective, evolutionary perspective, social cognitive perspective and social learning perspective. Sociocultural perspective focuses on the relationship between social behavior and culture. Social behavior is not only influenced by the presence of others but also culture norms will have a significant influence. Evolutionary perspective focuses on the physical and biological predispositions that result in human survival. Natural selection would indicate that those behaviors that enhanced survival would be passed on to subsequent generation. Social cognitive perspective id derived from the behaviorism perspective. It assumes that an individuals cognitive process influences and is influence by behavioral associations. Classical and operant conditioning are aspects of this perspective. Social learning perspective argues that individual learns from observing the behavior of others. Individual observe modeled behavior and in turn behave in similar manner. In this story, we can know that Dawson was influence by different perspective in social psychology. The first concept that Dawson applied is sociocultural perspective. Materialistic culture influences Dawson. He robs because he wants money to go clubbing. The cultural places a greater emphasis on objects considered valuable that it does people. The second concept that Dawson applied is social cognitive perspective. Cognitive process does not been established that identify robbing as wrong. No cognitive conditioning has occurred to link robbing with negative experience. The third concept that Dawson was applied is social learning perspective. For Dawson, the pattern of robbing has been established through observation. His friends-Alssa is the one who influence him to make this kind of decision. As such, stealing is perceived as an acceptable behavior. Concept 2: Self- serving Bias A self-serving bias, sometimes called self-serving attribution bias. The selfserving bias is peoples tendency to attribute positive events or successful behavior to dispositional factors. While attributing negative effects or unsuccessful behaviours to situational factor, we make external attribution for negative outcomes and internal attribution for positive outcomes. It is a common type of cognitive bias that has been extensively studied in social psychology. In this story, Dawson makes external attribution for negative outcome. He was put in jail and his attribution is to his parents leaving his behind at the Forster home. Besides that, he also thinks that his friend (Alissa) is the one who

influence him to rob. He tries to plead out of responsibility for failures. Concept 3: First Impression First impression is an initial impression we have of another person when we meet them for the first time. It contains positive and negative impression and a sense of physical and psychological features. First impressions are not deliberate and not formed by watching others action. They may also be instantaneous. Some research found that impressions are made after only 10 seconds. First impressions matter, for good and bad. They are fine when you like someone on first meeting; they are not so fine when the first meeting is negative. Positive first impressions lead to social cohesion; negative first impressions lead to biases and social prejudice. Everyone knows that first impression are very important in landing a job, but Dawson already make a bad first impression before he even arrive at his interview. Running late not only show his poor time management skills but also shows a lack of respect for the company and the interviewer. Besides that, he wears t-shirt, shorts and slipper to interview also cause the interviewer has a bad first impression of him. This will let the interview believe the interview is not important for him.
