What Would You Do?

If you like social psychology, check out ABC's show "What Would You Do?". They create controversial situations in public settings and record the reactions of strangers. For instance, would you defend a couple of gay parents who were being openly bashed in a restaurant for their sexual orientation? You can watch full episodes online here.

Contemporary Psychological Perspectives

In our first unit we will be touching on the various perspectives or "schools" of psychology. This assignment can seem overwhelming because it is all new information. At least one of the perspectives of psychology will be in almost every chapter we discuss over the year. The packet you have now is just to introduce you to the concepts we will be using all year. When completing this please draw information from your textbook and the following website.
