| Questão | Responda |
| agentic state | a mental condition proposed by Milgram, in which independence, autonomy and conscience are suppressed, one’s own free will is given up, and the individual acts as an agent for someone else. An example of this would be a child doing as his parents have told him. |
| autonomous state | – a mental condition proposed by Milgram, in which the person is acting as an independent, thinking and autonomous individual, and his conscience is fully active. An example of this would be a teacher telling his students what to do for homework. |
| moral strain | – the consequence of going against one’s free conscience and doing something one knows to be wrong. Usually occurs when one is in agentic state and is not acting independently. An example of this would be the nervous laughter or continuous smoking of some of the participants in Milgram’s study of obedience. |
| in-group | part of the Social identity theory. A person’s social identity is his sense of who he is based in his group, and an in-group is a group that you believe yourself to be a member of. An example of this would be being a fan of a specific basketball team. A person’s social identity is his sense of who he is based in his group |
| out-group | part of the social identity theory; it’s a group that has something in common with one of your in-groups, but which you are not a member of. An out-group is a social group which an individual does not identify with. An example of this is any group which one does not belong to like football teams fans or a gang at school. |
| social categorisation | part of the social identity theory; it’s the act of grouping people together according to some category. One perceives people as members of his group or not. An example of categorization would be the act of putting students in school in different classes according to the subjects they study. |
| social identification | – part of the social identity theory; the act of personally accepting that you belong to a particular group by accepting their norms. An example of this would be wearing the T-shirt of your favourite football team. |
| social comparison | part of the social identity theory; it’s the act of comparing social groups with each other. It is about comparing ourselves with those around us, for example, are people richer or poorer, more intelligent or less. |
| the Social Approach | The Social Approach is a branch of Psychology, which originated in the middle of the 20th century. It aims to explore the effects the presence, actions and attitudes of other people have on us. Using psychological research methods, such as surveys and questionnaires, social psychologists look at the effect our culture and our social interactions have on our behavior, why we join groups and stay in them, why we help others (or why sometimes we don’t) and tries to explain the origins and mechanics of obedience and prejudice. Just like the other branches of psychology, the social approach tries to explain human behavior. It usually works with self-report data, collected through interviews and questionnaires. It can be applied to the real life in cases such as crowd violence during sports events and abuse of power in prisons. One of the most famous studies of social psychology, Milgram’s study of obedience, raises the question whether normal good people are capable of doing horrible things, like for example the mass murders in the Holocaus, and if yes, why did seemingly normal people act in the way they did. |
