1. What do psychologist mean by stereotype and what is meant by stereotype threat? Individual's fastacting, self- fulfilling fear of being judgeed based on a negative sterotype about his or her group. 2. What is involved in making a fundamental attribution error? Give an example of such an error. The fundamental attribution error is observers' tendency to overestimate traits and to underestimate when they explain and actor's behavior. Beth might say she did poorly on the test because it was, in fact, too hard. 3. What is the difference between altruism and egoism? Altruism means giving to another with the ultimate goal of benefiting that person, even if it incurs a cost to oneself. Egoism means helping another person for person to increase the chance that the person will return the favor. 4. What is the difference between conformity and obedience? Comformity is the change in a person behavior to coincide more closely with a group standard. Obedience is behavior that complies with the explicit demands of the individual in authority. 5 Give me an example of false consensus effect. "How many students at my school support the death penalty?" The false consensus effect tells us that your answer is likely to depend on whether you support the death penalty.
