Extended Project Qualification – Sevcan Yasa

I think my current title will be: To what extent is the society socially

influenced?

Resources http://psychology.about.com/od/socialinfluence/ http://www.simplypsychology.org/social-psychology.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwrLHqtodII (Milgram’s experiment) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wadBvDPeE4E (The sociological

science behind social networks and social influence) Big Think (Youtube)

In my further research there will be additional resources as I will explore more during the process. An example may be that I find an article in the newspaper that will be beneficial for my topic.

• I looked at a youtube video of Stanley Milgram’s study. From this study, I learned that people are easily influenced by others, especially if they have more power.

• This links with my topic because the study shows obedience to authority and my EPQ topic is about how people are socially influenced. In this case, the people in the experiment are affected by people in authority(doctor).
