Wednesday, 8/15 Zimbardo Prison, Abu Ghraib, Cognitive Dissonance Theory Zimbardo Prison video clip Abu Ghraib video clip (see pg 9 + 10 in pdf) Cognitive Dissonance Theory Activity Classroom Exercise: Introducing Cognitive Dissonance Theory
Timothy Osberg suggests a classroom exercise in which he asks students to predict the outcomes of research on cognitive dissonance. In addition to introducing cogni- tive dissonance theory, the exercise provides an impor- tant reminder that psychology is not merely common sense. It is our vulnerability to the hindsight bias that makes research findings seem obvious—that is, they are obvious only after we learn the results.
Present the following scenario.
Suppose you had volunteered to participate in a psychol- ogy experiment on campus. Upon arrival, you were seat- ed at a table and asked to undertake a series of dull, meaningless tasks for about an hour. Afterward, the experimenter convinced you to extol the virtues of the tasks you had performed by describing them to other potential participants as highly worthwhile, interesting, and educational. You were paid either $1 or $20 to do this. Suppose you were then asked to privately rate your enjoyment of the tasks on a questionnaire. After which amount do you believe your actual enjoyment rating of the tasks would be higher—$1 or $20?
Students can provide their answers either by a show of hands or by writing them down. Give the col- lective results in class before disclosing the research answer. Osberg reports that almost all students will intuitively indicate the $20 payment. Finally, report that Festinger and Carlsmith found that those receiving $1 rated the tasks as more enjoyable than those paid $20. Explain that the authors used the concept of cognitive dissonance to explain this finding. Those who received only $1 presumably had insufficient justification for their behavior, which led to dissonance, which, in turn, produced a change in attitude about the tasks.

The text cites Abu Ghraib as an example of an “atrocity-producing situation.” Rather than being an example of a “few bad apples” practicing abuse on helpless victims, it may more accurately illustrate how a toxic environment can make even good apples go bad. You can readily extend the text discussion with an analysis of additional social psychological processes that led to the cruelty. Important aspects of social per- ception, social influence, and social relations are all represented.
In comparing his famous Stanford Prison with that in Iraq, Philip Zimbardo states, “It’'s not that we put bad apples in a good barrel. We put good apples in a bad barrel. The barrel corrupts anything that it touches.” The following factors seem important in understanding the cruelty.
• A prison is a place of enormous power differential. Guards have total power over prisoners who are powerless. Unless there is strict leadership and oversight that prevent the abuse of power, the power differential fosters abuse.
• Aversive experiences predispose one to anger and aggression. Guards were understaffed and over- worked. Fear of personal attack and revenge over the maiming and deaths of their comrades prepared them for counterattack. For a few guards, boredom predisposed them to seek amusement and diversion.
• A novel environment without established norms for acceptable behavior lead us to look to others for direction, especially to those in charge. Both guards and prisoners were trapped in an alien, unfamiliar setting that had neither a common language nor culture. When given vague orders to help “break the will, bend the resistance of the inmates,” guards obeyed authority.
• “Peer modeling” also helps to define reality. When a few soldiers took the lead in abusing prisoners and establishing “appropriate” standards for behav- ior, the rest followed.
• A “macho” culture was established, in which group conformity pressures led both male and female guards to comply and thereby maintain group camaraderie.
• Dehumanization of the prisoners as animals or scum was made easier in Iraq because of the for- eign language and customs. In addition, the inmates had a different appearance, little opportuni- ty to bathe, and lived under unsanitary conditions (in Stanford Prison, the guards said they hated the prisoners because they were so foul—after prevent- ing them from
Buford High School CURRICULUM CALENDAR AP Psychology / Curtright / 2012-‐2013

washing).
• A “we” versus “they” mentality existed. Guards were not acting against their fellow Americans (or even against Iraqis they encountered in the street). They viewed their victims as “the enemy.”
• The mechanics of “moral disengagement” were evident. In this process, normally moral people temporarily detach themselves from principle and reframe evil behavior as necessary and even wor- thy. Some minimized or underestimated the harm- ful consequences of their actions by relabeling or sanitizing it as “all fun and games.”
• Deindividuation of the guards diffused responsibility and undermined self-restraint. The self-reinforc- ing pleasure of acting impulsively while observing others doing the same trapped guards in the “Mardi Gras Moment.”
• Unresponsive bystanders, who had private concerns, did not openly disagree or challenge the immoral behavior going on in the prison.
Thursday, 8/16 Stand outside room and look up before class starts. During class, discuss how many people looked up with me and why.
Discuss Rick van Baaren’s mimicry study & prosocial behavior (pg 10) Quiz. Candid Camera Elevator Clip Milgrim asked his students to violate a social norm. When one kid said he just couldn’t, Milgrim decided to try too. He asked a man to give up his seat on the bus, and surprisingly, the man did. Milgrim felt overwhelmed with the need to justify his request, and his head sank between his legs and stayed that way until it was time for him to exit the train. This demonstrates: enormous inhibitory anxiety prevents us from breaking norms, we must justify our actions after breaking a norm, immediate circumstances have a huge impact on our feelings and behavior. Give students time with small groups to answer this practice FRQ: David's history teacher asked him why so many German people
complied with Hitler's orders to systematically slaughter millions of innocent Jews. David suggested that the atrocities were committed because the Germans had become unusually cruel, sadistic people with abnormal and twisted personalities. Use your knowledge of the fundamental attribution error and Milgram's research on obedience to highlight the weaknesses of David's explanation.

When they finish, students should plan their HW: Violate a social norm before coming to class on Monday.

Tuesday, 8/21 Quickwrite on board at the beginning of class: Based on yesterday’s discussion, how can a group be positively and negatively influenced? Be sure to describe social facilitation, group polarization, social loafing, deindividuation, and groupthink. Based on these ideas, should we do group projects? Does evaluating group members help? Does assigning roles minimize social loafing? How can group members motivate each other to work their hardest?
