How do different types of psychologists attempt to define, explain, predict, and control human behavior? 2. Why is it important to take different perspectives when attempting to explain complex behaviors? 3. How do psychologists use research to explore behavior and mental processes? 4. How do psychologists apply descriptive statistics to organize and analyze information? Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas: 1. The contemporary perspectives of psychology provide a framework to understand behavior from multiple perspectives. 2. Understanding different ways to view, analyze, and explain behavior provides a greater understanding of the complexities of behavior helping psychologists to improve the lives of people. 3. Psychologists use the scientific method and experimentation to generate quantitative data and analyze the results with statistics. However, the field of psychology also employs other research methods such as naturalistic observation, surveys, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, and case studies to data 4. Psychology is an empirical science that uses qualitative and quantitative data.

23 Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas 1. Understanding how our environment influences our thought processes and behavior. 2. The power of the situation and its influence on the factors of conformity and obedience to authority. 3. Individuals are motivated to act in a prosocial way because of altruism. Although others act in a prosocial way in the hope of reciprocation in some way (selfishness). 4. The power of the situation is key. Many people act in an antisocial manner in large group (in groups out group), or when they are able to hide their identity (deindividuation).

Detailed Description/Instructions: One student will be asked to leave the room (this simulation works best if you can send them out for a fake reason, such as getting a book from another teacher). While they are gone, you will instruct the other students to intentionally provide incorrect answers on a simple matching game. When the student returns, you will show a picture of an object, then 3 additional pictures. (For example, show an eagle, then show a knife, a top hat, and a turkey.) Have the students one at a time reply with the picture that best matches the original one. As the students all answer the incorrect answer, the test subject will be more and more likely to conform to the group (even if they know their answer is incorrect).

28 Engaging Scenario Option 1: For the Social Psychology engaging scenario, students will be asked to come to school and experience what it is like to dress or behave outside of the social norm. As human beings, we tend to want to conform to those around us. Even those who are non-conformists still conform on a daily basis. Students must find a behavior that breaks a social norm, and record their observations of how people look and talk to them. Option 2: For this project, students are being asked to break out of their comfort zone. For this assignment, students are to eat lunch and socialize with a group of students outside of their usual group. After their meal, students will record both their personal thoughts, in addition to their peers reactions to them and how they feel about those reactions. Students will be required to hand in a detailed, hand-written journal of their experiment. Rubric for Engaging Scenario: To be created

32 Essential Questions: 1. How has research and technology provided new methods to analyze brain behavior and disease? 2. How does the interaction between our different biological processes influence our thought and behavior? 3. How do different theories explain why we sleep and dream? 4. How are our perceptions influenced by environmental variables, motivation, past experiences, culture, and expectations? Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas: 1. Understand the interaction between the brain, nervous system, endocrine system, and genetics and how they influence our behavior and mental processes. 2. Examine the various ways in which researchers better understand the brain. 3. Sleep is the result of our body s natural rhythmic pattern of wake and sleep called the circadian rhythm. There are different theories for why we dream though: Freud thought dreams were ways in which the mind dealt with unresolved, unconscious conflicts. The activation synthesis theory claims that dreams are just random firings of neurons. Other theories state that dreams help us deal with problems from our day or process newly learned material. 4. While sensation is physiological perception is experiential.

44 Essential Questions: 1. How does the process of Classical Conditioning influence thoughts and behavior? 2. How does the process of Operant Conditioning influence thoughts and behavior? 3. How does the process of Social Learning influence thoughts and behavior? 4. How do our sensory, short-term and long-term memory systems differ, and how does the process of memory relate to these different systems? 5. How is memory encoding, storage and retrieval influenced by our biology, attention, motivation and environment? Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas: 1. Classical Conditioning is a type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli. Classical conditioning laid the foundation for behaviorism, the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies environmental influences on behavior. Classical conditioning influences our thoughts and behavior by conditioning respondent behavior. 2. Operant Conditioning involves an organism learning associations between its own behaviors and resulting consequence, such as reinforcement and punishment. With Operant Conditioning, and organism has more choice as to whether to replicate a behavior for reward, or to avoid punishment. 3. Within Social Learning, we observe and imitate others. Children often imitate what a model says and does, whether the behavior is prosocial or antisocial. 4. Memory is the persistence of learning over time, and works as a process through three separate memory systems. The classic memory model includes a temporary sensory memory that registers information from our senses, some of which are processed in our limited short-term memory, and finally a fraction are encoded in our long-term memory for later retrieval. 5. Memory is vulnerable to many different elements, including natural forgetting, misattribution, suggestibility and bias. It is key to recognize memory is not like a recorder with a perfect account of the past, rather a process that is easily malleable.

How do the effects of heredity and environment influence our thoughts and behavior? 2. How do we development cognitively, socially and morally throughout the lifespan, and in what ways do psychologists disagree in this developmental process? 3. How is our language and our thought process related? 4. How does our problem solving abilities differ depending on the situation, and what obstacles hinder our cognitive processes? 5. How do biological and cultural notions of gender shape the experiences of men and women? 6. How do humans approach death and dying, and what are the quality-of-life issues related to aging and end-of-life issues relating to death? Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas: 1. Heredity and environment work together to influence how we develop throughout the lifespan. 2. When considering cognitive, social and moral development, it is essential to understand there are many opposing views regarding our development. Some psychologists believe human development is a gradual, continuous process (like riding up an escalator) while others believe it goes through a sequence of separate stages (like climbing up the rungs on a ladder) Regardless of the theory, most psychologists would agree that cognitive, social and moral development throughout the lifespan are interrelated, progressive and essential.
57 3. Our thought process is influenced by our established language and culture in a concept known as linguistic determinism. 4. There are multiple ways to solve problems, some of which require algorithmic logic, while others include trial and error. Past experiences and our environment may inhibit individual s ability to solve problems as they confront typical cognitive obstacles and hindrances. 5. Gender is not strictly the product of our biological makeup, rather a combination of our biology, our environmental expectations, our cultural norms, and our learned behaviors. 6. Humans approach death very differently depending on their culture. As technology and medicine continue to advance, more people are having to confront the issues of a growing population that are becoming more dependent on younger generations.
