Psychology happens in the real world every day. Your job is to find a magazine or newspaper
article from the internet that provides a real-world example of a topic from our textbook. Then, use
that example to address if the internet accurately reflected the research in the textbook. After that,
discuss the implications (the “so what” factor) of the research. Why do we care?
PSY 101 example: Bullying is an example of social learning theory. Can you connect an internet
example of bullying to what the textbook says about Bandura’s research (pgs. 218-225)? Why do
we care about bullying?
PSY 102 example: The media portrays people who experience psychological disorders as more
violent than people who don’t. Based upon what the research in our textbook states (pg. 534), is
this accurate? Why do we care about media representations of people who experience disorders?
