Additional Stubs and Starter Articles

I have noticed that some students have been selecting stubs for their project that are of low importance or that have little research supporting them. I located some additional stubs and starter articles that I think would be appropriate for this class and that should be familiar to you from your social psychology course. Since these are topics that you're likely to already be familiar with, they should be easier to approach than the more obscure topics, and I may be a more useful resource for these topics as well. I have listed them by category.

Social Cognition (general):

• Construal level theory
• Base rate fallacy
• Social neuroscience

The Self:

• Self-referential encoding
• Impact bias
• Ironic process theory
• Name-letter effect
• Overjustification effect

Stereotyping/Prejudice:

• Stereotype content model

Helping/Altruism:

• Pluralistic ignorance
• Empathy-altruism

Attraction and Close Relationships:

• Misattribution of arousal
• Interdependence theory
• Matching hypothesis
• Belongingness
• Self disclosure

Psych and Law:

• Weapon focus

Famous social psychologists (These two should be familiar to you!):

• Susan Fiske
• Barry Schwartz (psychologist)
