Choose and complete ONE of the following two options for this assignment.

Option 1: Increasing compliance

For this assignment, you are going to use what you have learned about attitudes and conformity and obedience to suggest ways to get others to comply with a request. Follow the Written Assignment Guidelines in this and all other assignments in this course.

1. One area of social psychology involves social influence. There are many times in your life where you will have to try to persuade someone to do a behavior e.g. buy something you are selling, stop smoking,unload the dishwasher on a regular basis, vote for a particular candidate, exercise more, etc . For this assignment pick one behavior you want people to do.

2. Review the information in chapter 14 on attitudes (p. 556-559) and social influence (p.560-566).

3. Research suggests that there are two ways to persuade people: the central route and the peripheral route. Explain these two routes to persuasion. Then explain how you would get a person you are trying to persuade to follow the desired behavior in each of these routes.

4. Then using your knowledge of persuasion and social influence suggest one additional way social psychological concepts can be applied to increase compliance in this case. Define the concept and explain how you would use it to get the person to change his or her behavior.

5. Post your assignment in the Chapter 14-Social Psychology forum.

6. Read the assignments everyone else has posted, and comment if you wish. If you respond to someone else’s assignment, please make sure that your responses are respectful and contribute to a friendly and helpful learning environment.
