SILLY BOY

1.CLASSICAL CONDITIONING

Definition :When two stimuli are paired together,they may come to elicit the same response.

Concept Applied:

When the phone ring “DuDung” ,then James knows that his friend ask him to go out.

Neutral stimulus produces no reaction

-James hears his phone ring ’DuDung”, didnt know his friend calling him out.

Unconditioned stimulus produces an unconditioned response

-by viewing his message he know his friend date him out

Neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are paired together many times

-Every time the phone ring’DuDung’, his friend ask to go out .

Neutral stimulus produces a conditioned response and becomes a conditioned stimulus.

-James knows his friend date him when the phone ring’DuDUng’

2.THE FALSE CONSENSUS EFFECT

Definition:The assumption that everyone shares one’s opinion.The tendency for individual to overestimate the level to which other people share their beliefs,attitudes,and behaviour.

Concept Applied:James believes that all of his friends think that driving sports car is cool just because he believe that it’s cool

3.OPTIMISTIC BIAS

Definition:

Believing that bad things happen to other people and that you are more likely to experience positive events in life

Concept Applied:When James parks at illegal parking, he thinks that he wont get fined by the police but others will if they park their car there.

Definition:Use others as the standard by which we compare ourselves.

Concept Applied:He felt good about his branded stuff, knowing that his friends are all wearing cheap stuff.

4.DOWNWARD SOCIAL COMPARISON

Definition:Physical attractiveness stereotype and “what is beautiful is good” principle

Concept Applied:Impression of his friends towards him lead them to feel that he is smart, kind and hardworking.
