- Do you ever try to persuade friends or family members to do something? How do you try to persuade them? How do they try to persuade you? Give specific examples.
- If you were a social psychologist, what would you want to research? Why? How would you go about it?
- If you were a college professor, what would you do to increase the success of in-class learning teams? Consider what you learned about group behavior in this module.
- Have you ever been part of a group that made a poor decision and, if so, were any of the symptoms of groupthink present in your group? How could that be prevented?
