Dan jika hal ini terjadi, bagaimanapsikologi sosial dapat melakukannya? Psikologi sosial adalah ilmu dasar yang mencoba untuk membangunpengetahuan terutama melalui eksperimen dan survei (lihat misalnya Aronson, Wilson & Akert, 2002; Brehm, Kassin & Fein, 2005; Hewstone, Stroebe & Jonas, 2005; Hogg & Vaughan, 2005; Kenrick, Neuberg, & Cialdini, 2005; Myers, 2005). Kadang-kadang, teori dan temuan dari psikologi sosial mungkin tampak agak jauh dari masalah di masyarakat. Namun, banyak jika tidak sebagian masalah sosial kemasyarakatan aspek psikologis (misalnya kejahatan, rasisme, pencemaran lingkungan), dan karena itu psikologi sosial mungkin tidak hanya membantu dalam menjelaskan masalah tersebut, tetapi juga berkontribusi untuk menemukan solusi. Dalam bab ini kita memberikan contoh dari satu masalah tersebut untuk menggamba

  4 Applying Social. Psychology Applying Social Psychology EXAMPLE OF THE APPLICATION OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES Can social psychology help in solving societal problems? And if this is the case, how can social psychology do so? Social psychology is a basic science which tries to build knowledge primarily through experiments and surveys (see for example Aronson, Wilson & Akert, 2002; Brehm, Kassin & Fein, 2005; Hewstone, Stroebe & Jonas, 2005; Hogg & Vaughan, 2005; Kenrick, Neuberg, & Cialdini, 2005; Myers, 2005). Sometimes, the theories and findings from social psychology may seem a bit remote from the problems in society. However, many if not most societal problems have social psychological aspects (for example crime, racism, environmental pollution), and therefore social psychology may not only help in clarifying such problems, but also contribute to finding solutions. In this chapter we give an example of one such problem to illustrate this poin

The Problem Phase

26   Applying Social Psychology The Problem Phase: From a Problem to a Problem Definition INTRODUCTION Social problems are everywhere around us. Open up a newspaper, watch television or listen to the radio, and suddenly you are confronted with a rich variety of social issues,   many of which have a social psychological dimension. Regardless of whether it con­ cerns the problem of teenage pregnancies, smoking and health, divorce, anti-social   behaviour in residential communities, school truancies, prejudice towards ethnic minor­ ity members or even global warming, social psychological factors play a role in all of   them. Indeed, as societies grow larger and individuals live and work more closely   together, social and environmental problems are bound to rise, affecting an ever larger   proportion of the population (Gardner & Stern, 1996; Van Vugt et al., 2000). Hence,   there is an urgent need for the involvement of social psychologists to study these prob­ lems, and

56 Applying Social Psychology The Analysis Phase: Finding Theory-based Explanations for Problems INTRODUCTION In the Problem phase (Chapter 2) we have already explored some possible explanations for the problem. In the Analysis phase we continue the search for explanations. First, we define the outcome variable, that is, the variable that we want to change. Ideally the outcome variable should be phrased in terms of the desired end situation (for example, tolerance towards ethnic police officers). Subsequently, in the divergent stage we try to generate as many explanations as possible and try to link these explanations to relevant social psychological theories. Finally, in the convergent stage we evaluate each of the theory-based explanations in terms of their relevance, validity, and plausibility for the problem under investigation.

The Test Phase

  84 Applying Social Psychology The Test Phase: Developing and Testing the Process Model INTRODUCTION Once a set of explanations has been identified and selected by a social psychologist, he or she then develops a process model. This model serves as a template for developing interventions. In this chapter, we discuss the third step of the PATH model, the Test phase. In this stage we make suggestions on how to develop the process model and how to test the empirical validity of the model. FORMULATING A PROCESS MODEL The explanations selected in Chapter 3 form the core of the process model. A raw ver­ sion of a process model may have been developed in the previous stage already, for example, in the 'why' interview (Chapter 2). A process model is a pictorial representa­ tion of the explanatory variables, and their relationships with each other and with the focal problem (see Figure 4.1, p. 86). Each variable is represented as a box. The boxes (the variables) in the

The Help Phase

  106 Applying Social Psychology The Help Phase: Developing the Intervention INTRODUCTION Once the factors causing the outcome variable have been identified and mapped in the process model, the intervention can be developed. An intervention is a means to change the causal factors and thus the outcome variables in the desired direction. An adequate intervention targets one or more causal factors in the process model. Yet often it is not feasible or even necessary to target all variables in this model. Therefore, the first step in the Help stage of the PATH model is to determine which causal factors will be tar­ geted in the intervention. The modifiability of the factors and the expected effect sizes of interventions will direct this choice. Once these factors have been identified, an intervention that targets these factors can be developed. Decisions must be made about how the target group will be reached and what the content of the inte

CONCLUSION

    CONCLUSION: LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD After studying the previous chapters and completing the various exercises, the basic skills for addressing practical problems through applying social psychological theories will have been developed. Nevertheless, it usually takes quite some time and experi­ ence before our PATH model can be used in an optimal way. In the beginning you can follow the structured procedures outlined here in a somewhat rigid way. There is noth­ ing wrong with that. On the contrary, this is the best way of learning basic skills and of obtaining experience and a sense of competence. Eventually, however, you will learn that the thing that matters most in the end is to get to a theoretically sound, empirically- based intervention. Indeed, it is important to be quite flexible in applying the various procedures outlined in this book. The more experience you get, the more likely it is that you can switch between the various steps in the model, and will go b

COPING WITH TRAGEDIES OF THE COMMONS Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis; Center for the Study of Institutions, Population, and Environmental Change, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47408-3895; e-mail: ostrom@indiana.edu KEY WORDS: adaptive systems, polycentricity, rational choice, irrigation, forestry, fisheries ABSTRACT Contemporary policy analysis of the governance of common-pool resources is based on three core assumptions: (a) resource users are norm-free maximizes of immediate gains, who will not cooperate to overcome the commons dilemmas they face; (b) designing rules to change incentives of participants is a relatively simple analytical task; and (c) organization itself requires central direction. The chapter shows that these assumptions are a poor foundation for policy analysis. Findings from carefully controlled laboratory experiments that challenge the first assumption are summarized. A different assumption that huma

Whoever destroys a single life is as guilty as though he had destroyed the entire world; and whoever rescues a single life earns as much merit as though he had rescued the entire world. —The Talmud Siapapun yang menghancurkan kehidupan tunggal sebagai bersalah seolah-olah dia telah menghancurkan seluruh dunia, dan barangsiapa menyelamatkan kehidupan tunggal menghasilkan sebanyak pahala seolah-olah dia telah menyelamatkan seluruh dunia. -The Talmud   When Irene Gut Opdyke was growing up in Poland during the 1930s, she could never have imagined the fate that the future had in store for her. Irene was born in a small village in Poland on May 5, 1922. Early in her life she decided to enter a profession that involved helping others, so she enrolled in nursing school. However, Irene had to flee her home when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. Irene eventually joined a Polish underground unit but was beaten and raped by a group of Russian soldiers who found her

Interpersonal Attraction and Close   Relationships   Intimate relationships cannot substitute for a life plan. But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. —Harriet Lerner Both had been born in California and had lived in the San Francisco Bay area. Both eventually left the United States to live in Paris. The first  visit between these two people, who would be lifelong friends and lovers, did not begin well. They had become acquainted the previous night at a Paris restaurant and had arranged an appointment for the next afternoon at Gertrude’s apartment. Perhaps anxious about the meeting, Gertrude was in a rage when her guest arrived a half hour later than the appointed time. But soon she recovered her good humor, and the two went walking in the streets of Paris. They found that each loved walking, and they would share their thoughts and feelings on these strolls for the rest of their lives together. On that first afternoon
