points

The Purpose of this Assignment

Social psychology is immediately applicable to most any element of everyday life.

One way to assess your understanding of the concepts in social psychology is to

look for them in elements of culture or society. Nearly any popular work of fiction

is rife with examples of social psychological concepts. For this assignment, you

will read a popular fiction novel of your choosing. Then, you will analyze it from a

social psychological point of view.

Application Assignment #3 is an individual assignment. You may not work with

another PSY 274 student, a student who previously took PSY 274, or with any

other person other than Dr. Clarke, Julian, and the SU writing center. You may not

use papers or parts of papers found on any online resource or any

physical/tangible resource (e.g., a friend’s paper, a paper found in files kept by

groups or clubs on campus). Be sure you are aware of all SU Academic Integrity

policies.

Instructions

1. Choose a popular fiction novel that you have not read before. You may

choose any novel that is of interest to you. Any genre, intended age, or topic

is acceptable. You may find this assignment easier to do if you choose a

book that has a topic clearly related to the course, several interesting

characters, a lot of interaction, and changes of situations or environments,

but most works of fiction will be fine.

2. Read the novel carefully, taking your time and taking notes. You may want

to read it twice – once early in the semester to get to know the book, and

once a bit later after we’ve covered more material in class.

3. To complete the assignment, first open a Word document. Create a header

that includes:

1. Your name
2. PSY 274
3. Application Assignment #3
4. Your book title and author
5. Your book’s genre
6. Your book’s intended audience
7. Complete the Basic Book Review prompts below.
8. Complete the Social Psychology Book Review prompts below.
9. Your responses to the prompts should be written in cohesive paragraphs,

using complete sentences, and using proper grammar/spelling. Your

assignment should be double-spaced and written in 12-point Times New

Roman font.

7. Please do NOT include the prompts themselves when writing your

responses. Just use the headings (Basic Book Review; Social Psychology

Book Review) and the numbering so that we know to which prompt you are

responding.

8. Please contact Dr. Clarke or Julian with any questions you may have about

this assignment. All Application Assignments are due on Tuesdays, so

you must ask Dr. Clarke or Julian for help by 5pm on the Friday

before the due date (and you should likely ask earlier, especially if

you want to meet or zoom to go over a draft). The weekend before

the due date should be used for revisions and final touches. Plan

ahead.

Basic Book Review Prompts

1. In 1 paragraph, describe the time period and setting of the novel.
2. In 2 paragraphs, describe the main plot of the novel.
3. Describe the 4 most important characters in about 2 sentences each. Your

sentences should describe the most important, plot-relevant aspects of the

characters.

4. Rate the book on a scale from 1 = not at all enjoyable to 7 = extremely

enjoyable. Describe the top 2 strengths and top 2 weaknesses of the book.

5. Would you recommend this book? If so, to whom? If not, why not?

Social Psychology Book Review Concept Analysis

1. In the book, find instances where social psychology is at work. You should

identify 10 separate concepts from any part of the course that appear in

the book. Your concepts can be interrelated (e.g., stereotypes,

discrimination) or can be completely unrelated. Your concepts should

come from different chapters in the book – don’t use more than one

concept from any one chapter. For each concept:

1. Note the chapter and page number.
2. UNDERLINE THE CONCEPT.
3. Define the concept in your own words.
4. Describe how the concept is manifested in the book using a specific

example and explaining it well enough that it is clear to the reader

that you understand what the concept means and that you have

correctly identified it. Give enough information about the setting,

interactions of characters, and background that the concept’s role in

the chapter and scene is clearly demonstrated.
