  • It is too individualistic
  • It is not individualistic enough

Question 26

Question
Do prosocial behaviour explanations account for groups or the socially-constructed natures of prosocial behaviour?
Answer
  • Yes, they do account for that
  • No, they do not account for that in local interactional contexts (eg, arguments) or wider sociocultural contexts (eg, ideologies)

Question 27

Question
Participants' football team preferences were made salient in the Levine (et al., 2005) study. What happened when participants encountered a jogger that had hurt their ankle when running?

  • Participants were more likely to help if they were wearing a shirt of their preferred team (92%)
  • Participants were less likely to help if they were wearing a shirt of their preferred team (8%)

Answer
  • They helped the most (80%)
  • They did not help the most (20%)

Question 29

Question

Answer
  • They helped them (70%)
  • They didn't help them (30%)

Question 30

  • They didn't help (20%)

Question 31

Question
According to Levine (et al., 2005) what effect does the perception of common group perception and attitudes have on prosocial behaviour?
Answer
  • Common group membership increases the likelihood of prosocial behaviour
  • Common group membership does not necessarily increase the likelihood of prosocial behaviour

Question 32

Question
According to the Levine (et al., 2005) findings, do relevant group identities need to become more active or salient during specific times for prosocial behaviour to become more plausible?
Answer
  • Yes, it does
  • No, it does not

Question 33

Question
What did Saucier, Miller, and Doucet (2005) find in their 31-study review of the levels of prosocial behaviour between black and white students?
Answer
  • White students were less likely to help black students
  • White students were more likely to help black students

Question 34

Question
Do the findings by Saucier, Miller, and Doucet (2005) highlight both racism and ingroup-outgroup mentalities?
Answer
  • Yes, they do
  • No, they do not

Question 35

Question
According to the social constructionist perspective, are the descriptors of prosocial behaviour accurate? Furthermore, can they be used by anyone?
Answer
  • Yes, they can comprise of all realities
  • No, they are not direct representations of reality, only one of many

Question 36

Question
Does the overly individualistic focus on prosocial behaviour neglect localised interactional context in which attributions are made?
Answer
  • Yes, they do
  • No, they don't

Question 37

Question
According to Dickerson (2012), if the attributions through explanatory talk are being used to justify certain behaviours in a certain light, can they be treated as direct or straightforward representations?
Answer
  • Yes, they can
  • No, they cannot

Question 38

Question
Ichheiser (1943) argued that attributions are not simply single cognitive events because they must be considered in wider social contexts. According to Cherry (1995):
Answer
  • Widespread abuse of women during the 1960s was largely ignored and the police were reticent to intervene
  • There is too much conflicting evidence to suggest that there was a salient culture on domestic abuse during the 1960s

Question 39

Question
Ichheiser (1943) argued that attributions are not simply single cognitive events because they must be considered in wider social contexts. Can giving money to homeless people be constructed differently depending on where you are?
Answer
  • No, because giving money to the homeless is universally seen as a good thing
  • Yes, because not everyone everywhere sees homeless people in the same way - largely because of sociopolitical cultures

Question 40

Question
Ichheiser (1943) argued that attributions are not simply single cognitive events because they must be considered in wider social contexts. Were the "good samaritans" of the 1930s really prosocial?
Answer
  • Yes, they were
  • No, the only thought that they were good people at the time because of the sociopolitical context (eg, Nazi government in Germany during the World War)

Question 41

Question
Foucault mentioned that psychology researchers' constructions may be upholding particular ideologies. If we construct psychology as "neutral" or "value-free", could we be subtly reinforcing and legitimising oppressive attitudes (eg, racism, sexism)?
Answer
  • Yes, we could be
  • No, I do not think so

Question 42

Question
Burr (2006) noted how psychology constructs itself as "neutral" or "value-free". For example, it highlights variables, uses scientific jargon, is written in third-person, and does not reflect on social influences in its research. Does this construction distract from the researcher's own personal interests?
Answer
  • Yes, because they don't believe them to be necessary
  • No, because they are being objective

Question 43

Question
Did Darley and Latané (1968) omit a crucial item of information in the Kitty Genovese case, according to Cherry (1995), in which a man was attacking a woman?
Answer
  • Yes, they did
  • No, they did not

Question 44

Question
According to Cherry (1995) in regards to the Darley and Latané (1968) study on Kitty Genovese, was this a neutral thing to do?
Answer
  • Yes, it was at the time
  • No, because ignoring social norms is a subtle acceptance and upholding of oppressive attitudes

Question 45

Question
Did Darley and Latané (1968) believe that they were contributing to research that now believes crowds facilitate antisocial behaviour?
Answer
  • Yes, they did believe that
  • No, they did not believe that

Question 46

Question
Burr (2006) suggested two ways that psychologists can use to avoid subtly reinforcing oppressive attitudes. One of them is:
Answer
  • By not using qualitative methods with holistic understandings of meanings that the events hold in a number of contexts
  • By using qualitative methods with holistic understandings of meaning that the events hold in a number of contexts (eg, where the research started)

Question 47

Question
Burr (2006) suggested two ways that psychologists can use to avoid subtly reinforcing oppressive attitudes. Another way is to:
Answer
  • Not employ "constant reflexivity" where sociocultural assumptions and biases do not underlie research and could not be critiqued in the future
  • Employ "constant reflexivity" where sociocultural assumptions and biases do underlie research and are open to critique in the future
