Social Psychology

I've learnt alot during ISP and I'm loving it.

Attribution theory, auto-pilot thinking, controlled thinking, self-fulfiling prophery, social cognition and most importantly, stereotyping.

Stereotyping: A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.

Basically it means already having an opinion on a certain type of things.

Stereotype.

In Singapore, when we see a Bangladash, we'll think that they're construction workers.

That's stereotyping.

Today I got to learn something.

When people think of Indo-Chinese, they think of "rich".

Why ah?

I have an aunt from Indonesia but her family so so only seh.

Yes, I'm getting more sensible and more chim from this module ((:
