    Overview

    Welcome to Module Two!

    Module Two is all about self-justification, conformity, and compliance-related behaviors.

    What are the social-psychological processes associated with our tendencies to justify our actions, behaviors, and feelings?  Is conformity good or bad?  Why do people conform to group pressure? Why don’t bystanders always come to the aid of victims of injury or crime?  How do our biases affect our consistency and commitment in decision-making?  These are but a few of the compelling questions we will be exploring in this module.

    In Chapter Three of
    _The Social Animal_, the main tenets of cognitive dissonance theory are presented briefly and provide a framework for understanding the cognitive and motivational components that underlie self-justification processes. Throughout the chapter, the broad implications of the theory are discussed, as is its application to a multitude of real-world situations and social phenomena.

    In Chapter Four of
    _The Social Animal_, we take a deep dive into the topic of conformity, defined as a change in a person’s behavior or opinions because of real or imagined pressure from a person or group of people.  As a society, Americans are ambivalent about the merits of conformity—nonconformists or individualists are valued, while deviates and oddballs are scorned. On the other hand, conformists and “sheep” are devalued, while the “team player” is lauded. When the chips are down, however, we tend to value conformity over nonconformity.

    Leveraging off your budding understanding of the nature of compliance and conformity-related behaviors, in Chapter Three of
    _Influence: Science and Practice_ we explore the nature and importance of our perceptions of consistency in our actions and decision-making.  You’ll discover the importance of commitment, and how commitment is used to automatically shape people’s decision-making behaviors.

    In Chapter Six of
    _Influence: Science and Practice_, we will consider the power of authority in eliciting compliance-related behaviors.

    There’s a lot to think about in this module, and it’s my hope that you are beginning to get a sense of the power of social psychological principles that can be powerfully adapted (for good or evil) by those who seek to influence our behaviors.  I hope you enjoy Module Two!

    Learning Objectives

    **You do not have to answer these questions, this is just more information to help with quiz questions.**

    By the end of this module, students will be able to:

    1. Define self-justification from a social psychological perspective.

    2. Relate cognitive dissonance to the idea of self-justification and describe practical applications of cognitive dissonance theory.

    3. Describe the factors that increase or decrease one’s tendencies to conform.

    4. List three levels of conformity and provide examples of approaches to elicit conformity at each level.

    5. Discuss the power of authority in eliciting compliance-related behaviors

    6. Illustrate four factors that cause commitment-related behaviors to affect a person’s self-image and consequent future actions.

    7. Discuss the relationship between commitment and consistency.

    **Instructions for Critical Thinking & Application Prompts:**

    **Each week, you will be presented with a series of critical thinking and application prompts.**

    **You will be directed to the applicable set of prompts by clicking the "Take the Quiz" button below.  Prior to starting this assignment, be sure you have carefully reviewed all of the content referenced on the Learning Materials page (and any other pages associated with the module).**

    **Each prompt is generally worthy of at least 250 words (2 – 3 well-written paragraphs) in response.  Be sure to connect with**
    **_(and informally cite in-text)_ the applicable readings / videos from the module's learning materials.**

    **_A note on in-text citing and connecting with the learning materials:_  As a graduate student in a Master of Science degree program, it's**
    **_very important_ that you offer perspectives and arguments that are grounded in theory and the scientific literature -**
    **_NOT personal opinion or anecdotal evidence._ I don't want a works-cited page, but I do want you to**
    **_clearly cite_ your sources in-text for the various connections you'll be making between the learning materials and your application thereof.  For example, one might write,**
    **_"While I marveled at the uncanny ability of the psychic to tap into my true personality, the Barnum Effect (Aronson, Chapter 2) could have well explained my feelings…"_ Be sure to use these informal in-text citations to make your arguments and support your perspectives.**

    **_ProTip:  You may want to copy the essay questions into a Word doc (or similar), and compose your responses to the worksheet prompts offline.  Then you can return to the quiz submission page to "copy and paste" your previously composed responses into the text box associated with each of the prompts.  Once you have done that, you can click the "Submit the Quiz" button near the bottom of the screen in order to submit your essay questions for grading._ The**
    **_Critical Thinking & Application_ essay-based quizzes are set to "single attempt" which means you cannot return to the quiz page to make revisions – so please keep that in mind and only "submit" your quiz when you are satisfied with your work!**

    **Question 1**

    When are behaviors associated with cognitive dissonance rational?  When are they irrational?  Describe some examples from your life experience that illustrate the nature of cognitive dissonance.

    **Question 2**

    Think of a time when you found yourself in the midst of a work-related situation in which you behaved or reacted “out of character”— that is, in a manner very different from your accustomed mode of behavior. Describe the nature of this situation and your feelings regarding your own behavior. Try to make sense of your experience in light of your knowledge of conformity and the power of situational pressures.

    **Question 3**

    Within the realm of compliance, securing an initial commitment is key.  After making a commitment, people are more willing to agree to requests that are in keeping with that prior commitment.  When are commitments most effective?  How might you adapt some of the commitment-gaining strategies discussed in the Influence textbook (Chapter 3) into the organizational leadership realm?  As a team leader, how might the use of a "team charter" improve project team member commitment and compliance?  And, finally, what’s your experience with team charters and the team charter development process?

    **Question 4**

    What are the three levels of conformity, and what is the primary driver associated with each?  Illustrate each of these levels of conformity with an example (ideally from your own organizational / project management experience, but other types of examples are OK if you don't yet have much organizational experience).

    Question 5

    Imagine that you are having trouble motivating yourself to study for an important exam that is less than a week away.  Drawing upon your knowledge of the commitment process, describe what you would do to get yourself to put in the necessary study time.  Be sure to explain why your chosen actions ought to work.

    There are two options for this week’s Discussion. Choose Option 1 if you are interested in pursuing
    employment after graduating rather than pursuing a graduate degree. If you choose this option, you
    will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 1 and the response prompt for Discussion 2.

    Choose Option 2 if you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree after graduating from this
    program. If you choose this option, you will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 2 and the
    response prompt for Discussion 1.

    The reason that you are responding to classmates in a different Discussion from your initial prompt
    is to give you exposure to the topic.

    As you may remember from Week 1, a bachelor’s degree in psychology is versatile and applicable
    to a wide variety of careers. Graduates go on to pursue fulfilling careers in human services, sales
    and marketing, healthcare, criminal justice, education, and many other fields. At this point in your
    program, you may have a particular job in mind. If so, it is important to confirm that the job duties

    align with your interests and that a bachelor’s degree in psychology qualifies you for the job. If you
    do not have a particular job in mind, do not worry, now is the time to begin exploring possible career
    paths to see what piques your interest.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a job posting of interest to you that can be obtained with a
    bachelor’s degree in psychology. You will also view the interactive media, “Interviewing for a
    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Go to the Psychology Career Exploration Toolkit. Reflect on which specialty area of psychology
    interests you the most and how to pursue a career in that area. Also, consider the career
    experiences of the psychology professionals featured in the “Personal Career Stories” tab and how
    they used their degrees to achieve their career goals.

    Go to the Psychology Career Hub. Use the job search resources to search for a psychology job
    posting of interest to you. Think about why the job interests you and its pros in cons. Consider
    variables such as salary, geographic location, work hours, etc. Important Note: Be sure that
    your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and does not require an advanced
    degree, such as a master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid discussing a job that requires
    an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school psychologist). If you are unsure
    if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your Instructor to confirm.

    Go the Additional Resources section in the Psychology Career Hub and review the resources on
    preparing for interviews. In addition, read the article, “Kisses of Death in the Graduate School
    Application Process.” Consider how the kisses of death categories might also apply to
    interviewing for a psychology job.
    With the kisses of death in mind, complete the "Interviewing for a Psychology Job" simulation
    found in this Week's Learning Resources. Identify two key takeaways that you learned from the
    simulation and think about how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you
    identified.

    Identify the Discussion option you chose in the first line of your initial post.
    Paste the URL webpage link for the specific job opening you found so that your Instructor and
    classmates can review it.
    Important Note: Be sure that your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and
    does not require an advanced degree, such as master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid
    discussing a job that requires an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school
    psychologist). If you are unsure if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your
    Instructor to confirm.
    Explain why the job interests you.
    Explain the pros and cons of this job as they relate to your lifestyle. Consider variables such as
    salary, geographic location, work hours, etc.
    Describe two key takeaways that you learned from participating in the interview simulation
    activity. Explain how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you identified.

    Support your initial post with evidence from at least one Learning Resource. You may state your
    opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with
    evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will
    be able to view and respond to your colleagues' postings. Begin by clicking on the
    Reply button to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Post Reply,
    you cannot delete or edit your own posts and you cannot post anonymously. Please
    check your post carefully before clicking on Post Reply!

    Respond to at least one colleague who discussed a graduate program that you would be interested
    in pursuing if you decided to pursue graduate school rather than employment after graduating.
    Explain why the program interests you and what you found surprising or interesting about the

    admissions requirements. Finally, propose one resource from the Walden University Career
    Planning and Development website, the Psychology Career Hub, or the Psychology Career
    Exploration Toolkit that might be useful to your colleague, given their graduate school interests.

    Support your reply to a colleague’s Discussion post with evidence from at least one Learning
    Resource. You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also
    back up your assertions with evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    A subset of students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology go on to graduate
    school. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a therapist or counselor, you will need further
    education beyond a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, there are many graduate programs to choose
    from and it is important to spend some time determining which ones might be the right fit for you.
    Keep in mind that you are not limited to exploring only Walden’s graduate programs; rather, you are
    encouraged to explore programs across many different universities. Even this early in your
    undergraduate program, exploring graduate study options now can help you make informed
    decisions about your academic and career path.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a graduate program in a field you are interested in potentially

    business school, social work, etc.). You will also consider the admissions requirements of the
    program as well as its pros and cons. Finally, you will view the interactive media, “Interviewing for
    Graduate School,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during an interview for

    There are two options for this week’s Discussion. Choose Option 1 if you are interested in pursuing
    employment after graduating rather than pursuing a graduate degree. If you choose this option, you
    will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 1 and the response prompt for Discussion 2.

    Choose Option 2 if you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree after graduating from this
    program. If you choose this option, you will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 2 and the
    response prompt for Discussion 1.

    The reason that you are responding to classmates in a different Discussion from your initial prompt
    is to give you exposure to the topic.

    As you may remember from Week 1, a bachelor’s degree in psychology is versatile and applicable
    to a wide variety of careers. Graduates go on to pursue fulfilling careers in human services, sales
    and marketing, healthcare, criminal justice, education, and many other fields. At this point in your
    program, you may have a particular job in mind. If so, it is important to confirm that the job duties

    align with your interests and that a bachelor’s degree in psychology qualifies you for the job. If you
    do not have a particular job in mind, do not worry, now is the time to begin exploring possible career
    paths to see what piques your interest.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a job posting of interest to you that can be obtained with a
    bachelor’s degree in psychology. You will also view the interactive media, “Interviewing for a
    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    variables such as salary, geographic location, work hours, etc. Important Note: Be sure that
    your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and does not require an advanced
    degree, such as a master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid discussing a job that requires
    an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school psychologist). If you are unsure
    if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your Instructor to confirm.

    A subset of students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology go on to graduate
    school. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a therapist or counselor, you will need further
    education beyond a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, there are many graduate programs to choose
    from and it is important to spend some time determining which ones might be the right fit for you.
    Keep in mind that you are not limited to exploring only Walden’s graduate programs; rather, you are
    encouraged to explore programs across many different universities. Even this early in your
    undergraduate program, exploring graduate study options now can help you make informed
    decisions about your academic and career path.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a graduate program in a field you are interested in potentially
    pursuing (e.g., clinical psychology, counseling psychology, developmental psychology, law school,

    There are two options for this week’s Discussion. Choose Option 1 if you are interested in pursuing
    employment after graduating rather than pursuing a graduate degree. If you choose this option, you
    will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 1 and the response prompt for Discussion 2.

    Choose Option 2 if you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree after graduating from this
    program. If you choose this option, you will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 2 and the
    response prompt for Discussion 1.

    The reason that you are responding to classmates in a different Discussion from your initial prompt
    is to give you exposure to the topic.

    As you may remember from Week 1, a bachelor’s degree in psychology is versatile and applicable
    to a wide variety of careers. Graduates go on to pursue fulfilling careers in human services, sales
    and marketing, healthcare, criminal justice, education, and many other fields. At this point in your
    program, you may have a particular job in mind. If so, it is important to confirm that the job duties

    align with your interests and that a bachelor’s degree in psychology qualifies you for the job. If you
    do not have a particular job in mind, do not worry, now is the time to begin exploring possible career
    paths to see what piques your interest.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a job posting of interest to you that can be obtained with a
    bachelor’s degree in psychology. You will also view the interactive media, “Interviewing for a
    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Go to the Psychology Career Exploration Toolkit. Reflect on which specialty area of psychology
    interests you the most and how to pursue a career in that area. Also, consider the career
    experiences of the psychology professionals featured in the “Personal Career Stories” tab and how
    they used their degrees to achieve their career goals.

    Go to the Psychology Career Hub. Use the job search resources to search for a psychology job
    posting of interest to you. Think about why the job interests you and its pros in cons. Consider
    variables such as salary, geographic location, work hours, etc. Important Note: Be sure that
    your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and does not require an advanced
    degree, such as a master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid discussing a job that requires
    an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school psychologist). If you are unsure
    if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your Instructor to confirm.

    Go the Additional Resources section in the Psychology Career Hub and review the resources on
    preparing for interviews. In addition, read the article, “Kisses of Death in the Graduate School
    Application Process.” Consider how the kisses of death categories might also apply to
    interviewing for a psychology job.
    With the kisses of death in mind, complete the "Interviewing for a Psychology Job" simulation
    found in this Week's Learning Resources. Identify two key takeaways that you learned from the
    simulation and think about how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you
    identified.

    Identify the Discussion option you chose in the first line of your initial post.
    Paste the URL webpage link for the specific job opening you found so that your Instructor and
    classmates can review it.
    Important Note: Be sure that your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and
    does not require an advanced degree, such as master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid
    discussing a job that requires an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school
    psychologist). If you are unsure if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your
    Instructor to confirm.
    Explain why the job interests you.
    Explain the pros and cons of this job as they relate to your lifestyle. Consider variables such as
    salary, geographic location, work hours, etc.
    Describe two key takeaways that you learned from participating in the interview simulation
    activity. Explain how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you identified.

    Support your initial post with evidence from at least one Learning Resource. You may state your
    opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with
    evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will
    be able to view and respond to your colleagues' postings. Begin by clicking on the
    Reply button to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Post Reply,
    you cannot delete or edit your own posts and you cannot post anonymously. Please
    check your post carefully before clicking on Post Reply!

    Respond to at least one colleague who discussed a graduate program that you would be interested
    in pursuing if you decided to pursue graduate school rather than employment after graduating.
    Explain why the program interests you and what you found surprising or interesting about the

    admissions requirements. Finally, propose one resource from the Walden University Career
    Planning and Development website, the Psychology Career Hub, or the Psychology Career
    Exploration Toolkit that might be useful to your colleague, given their graduate school interests.

    Support your reply to a colleague’s Discussion post with evidence from at least one Learning
    Resource. You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also
    back up your assertions with evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    A subset of students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology go on to graduate
    school. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a therapist or counselor, you will need further
    education beyond a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, there are many graduate programs to choose
    from and it is important to spend some time determining which ones might be the right fit for you.
    Keep in mind that you are not limited to exploring only Walden’s graduate programs; rather, you are
    encouraged to explore programs across many different universities. Even this early in your
    undergraduate program, exploring graduate study options now can help you make informed
    decisions about your academic and career path.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a graduate program in a field you are interested in potentially
    pursuing (e.g., clinical psychology, counseling psychology, developmental psychology, law school,
    business school, social work, etc.). You will also consider the admissions requirements of the
    program as well as its pros and cons. Finally, you will view the interactive media, “Interviewing for
    Graduate School,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during an interview for
    graduate school. Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future
    interview.

    There are two options for this week’s Discussion. Choose Option 1 if you are interested in pursuing
    employment after graduating rather than pursuing a graduate degree. If you choose this option, you
    will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 1 and the response prompt for Discussion 2.

    Choose Option 2 if you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree after graduating from this
    program. If you choose this option, you will complete the initial prompt for Discussion 2 and the
    response prompt for Discussion 1.

    The reason that you are responding to classmates in a different Discussion from your initial prompt
    is to give you exposure to the topic.

    As you may remember from Week 1, a bachelor’s degree in psychology is versatile and applicable
    to a wide variety of careers. Graduates go on to pursue fulfilling careers in human services, sales
    and marketing, healthcare, criminal justice, education, and many other fields. At this point in your
    program, you may have a particular job in mind. If so, it is important to confirm that the job duties

    align with your interests and that a bachelor’s degree in psychology qualifies you for the job. If you
    do not have a particular job in mind, do not worry, now is the time to begin exploring possible career
    paths to see what piques your interest.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a job posting of interest to you that can be obtained with a
    bachelor’s degree in psychology. You will also view the interactive media, “Interviewing for a
    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Psychology Job,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during a job interview.
    Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future job interview.

    Go to the Psychology Career Exploration Toolkit. Reflect on which specialty area of psychology
    interests you the most and how to pursue a career in that area. Also, consider the career
    experiences of the psychology professionals featured in the “Personal Career Stories” tab and how
    they used their degrees to achieve their career goals.

    Go to the Psychology Career Hub. Use the job search resources to search for a psychology job
    posting of interest to you. Think about why the job interests you and its pros in cons. Consider
    variables such as salary, geographic location, work hours, etc. Important Note: Be sure that
    your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and does not require an advanced
    degree, such as a master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid discussing a job that requires
    an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school psychologist). If you are unsure
    if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your Instructor to confirm.

    Go the Additional Resources section in the Psychology Career Hub and review the resources on
    preparing for interviews. In addition, read the article, “Kisses of Death in the Graduate School
    Application Process.” Consider how the kisses of death categories might also apply to
    interviewing for a psychology job.
    With the kisses of death in mind, complete the "Interviewing for a Psychology Job" simulation
    found in this Week's Learning Resources. Identify two key takeaways that you learned from the
    simulation and think about how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you
    identified.

    Identify the Discussion option you chose in the first line of your initial post.
    Paste the URL webpage link for the specific job opening you found so that your Instructor and
    classmates can review it.
    Important Note: Be sure that your job opening requires a bachelor’s degree in psychology; and
    does not require an advanced degree, such as master’s or doctorate (PhD) degree (e.g., avoid
    discussing a job that requires an advanced degree, such as a clinical psychologist or a school
    psychologist). If you are unsure if the job posting you found is acceptable, please email your
    Instructor to confirm.
    Explain why the job interests you.
    Explain the pros and cons of this job as they relate to your lifestyle. Consider variables such as
    salary, geographic location, work hours, etc.
    Describe two key takeaways that you learned from participating in the interview simulation
    activity. Explain how you would apply each to an interview for the job posting you identified.

    Support your initial post with evidence from at least one Learning Resource. You may state your
    opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with
    evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    Note: For this Discussion, you are required to complete your initial post before you will
    be able to view and respond to your colleagues' postings. Begin by clicking on the
    Reply button to complete your initial post. Remember, once you click on Post Reply,
    you cannot delete or edit your own posts and you cannot post anonymously. Please
    check your post carefully before clicking on Post Reply!

    Respond to at least one colleague who discussed a graduate program that you would be interested
    in pursuing if you decided to pursue graduate school rather than employment after graduating.
    Explain why the program interests you and what you found surprising or interesting about the

    admissions requirements. Finally, propose one resource from the Walden University Career
    Planning and Development website, the Psychology Career Hub, or the Psychology Career
    Exploration Toolkit that might be useful to your colleague, given their graduate school interests.

    Support your reply to a colleague’s Discussion post with evidence from at least one Learning
    Resource. You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also
    back up your assertions with evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.

    A subset of students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology go on to graduate
    school. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a therapist or counselor, you will need further
    education beyond a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, there are many graduate programs to choose
    from and it is important to spend some time determining which ones might be the right fit for you.
    Keep in mind that you are not limited to exploring only Walden’s graduate programs; rather, you are
    encouraged to explore programs across many different universities. Even this early in your
    undergraduate program, exploring graduate study options now can help you make informed
    decisions about your academic and career path.

    In this Discussion, you will identify a graduate program in a field you are interested in potentially
    pursuing (e.g., clinical psychology, counseling psychology, developmental psychology, law school,
    business school, social work, etc.). You will also consider the admissions requirements of the
    program as well as its pros and cons. Finally, you will view the interactive media, “Interviewing for
    Graduate School,” which will guide you through how to best present yourself during an interview for
    graduate school. Then, you will consider how you would apply what you learned to a future
    interview.

    Conduct an internet search for graduate degree programs that meet your needs and interests.
