Social psychology The human mass „Jesus!” + + + + + = „Barabas!” Le Bon: The mass is a formation which has an independent personality, and the individuals belonging in it, loose their own ones… Goal: To prosper in the social world= to detect it predictable (=look behind the surface, to know and to recognize the working mechanism of the social processes!) The „Le Bon law”: A group’s performance, opinion, or act will always converge to the weakest member’s level…

4. THE HUMAN MASS: Fundamental attributional error… (individual in mass…– but it does not discharge!) Hidden curriculum…: In Hungary the behavioral sciences ar not respected so well… - but it’impossible to change others…; so keep attention and effort on you: Do not stand in the line…!

12. Social psychology Other social impacts Social facilitation vs inhibition = achievment under presence of others, more exactly when others are paying attention to us, to our achievment – or, if we think, they do The achievement will be better in case of delivering rutine task The achievement will be worst in case of delivering complicated task On brainstormings: first alone, then in group – to avoid the inhibition!

13. SOCIAL FACILITATION/INHIBITION – practical benefits: Brainstormings – pl. in case of concilium (meetings) eg. first share the information, send it to the participants before common discussion – prepare individually for the meeting Commonlearning (first read the material individually, alone) Researches in teams During examination… - calm down: does not apply the inhibitor effect, because everebody is working on his own material (the don’t pay attention!)
