Assignment:
The scientific study of social attitudes and behavioris an important component of social psychology. In our reading, this importance is established and will be reiterated throughout your class readings, so for our first discussion, you will take a closer look at the concept of correlationby finding a correlation described in poplilar media and examining it critically. When choosing a correlation to write about, consider the following:
- The information must come from popular media (e.g., news stories, news or magazine articles, social media posts, commercials, infomercials), not an academic source (e.g., instructional website, academic journal article, report about an academic research study) and must be located online so everyone can View your source.
- The correlation you choose does not need to be linked to social or any other type of psychology.
- You don't have to choose a report where causation between the variables is inappropriately suggested or stated, but if you do, make sure to point this out in your critique.
