Researchers, such as social psychologists, propose a hypothesis and then conduct studies to validate their ideas. The end result is the formation of a theory. Note: A theory is not a fact; it is only a well-tested idea of how something works. In sound science, researchers are reluctant to state that something is a fact until they have tested it thoroughly over time and from many different perspectives. In fields such as psychology where human behavior is the topic of study, it is difficult to know for sure that a theory is accurately describing or explaining a situation; therefore, researchers are careful with their interpretation of findings and avoid stating that the findings are facts.<br \/>\nFrom theories, researchers then create models. A model is a structured and real life application of the theory for a specific phenomenon or event. Just as an architect\u2019s model of a building (including lighting, landscaping, and color) helps everyone understand the big picture building concept, models of theories help practitioners apply the theory to the real world. Social psychologists use theories and models to help study and explain how people perceive others and social events or situations, how people influence each other, and how people relate to other individuals or groups.<br \/>\nAs you might expect, different researchers and practitioners look at the same event or situation from different perspectives or theoretical approaches. This discussion focuses on the most common approaches or categories of theories used in social psychology.<br \/>\nTo prepare for this Discussion:<br \/>\n\u2022 Review Chapter 1 of the course text, Social Psychology, focusing on how each of the following social psychology approaches would view or attempt to explain a specific situation (pay close attention to the examples used in the text):<br \/>\n\u2022 Motivational theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Learning theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Cognitive theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Decision-making theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Interdependence theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Sociocultural theories<br \/>\n\u2022 Watch the video, \u201cIntroducing Social Psychology,\u201d from the Contemporary Videos in Social Psychology DVD. Focus on why people study social psychology and think about the kinds of problems social psychology attempts to solve.<br \/>\n\u2022 Next, consider the following three social situations:<br \/>\n\u2022 A high school or college campus shooting<br \/>\n\u2022 An act of domestic violence or child abuse within a family<br \/>\n\u2022 Looting of shops and homes after a natural disaster<br \/>\n\u2022 Now, consider the three social situations and think about how each of the social psychology approaches would treat each situation.<br \/>\nThe assignment: 1page, APA style format, No Plagiarism and must be cited with references from resources provided below. Assignment must be with done with the resources provided.<br \/>\nWrite a discussion of how two of the social psychology approaches might explain one of the three situations. Be brief but clear in your analysis.<br \/>\nNote: Put the two approaches you discussed in the first line of your post.<br \/>\nResources:<br \/>\n\u2022 Course Text: Taylor, S. E., Peplau, L.
