In life people have to deal with all sorts of situations big and small. Social psychology has broken down how we deal with those situations into six dyads that are meant to show how we deal with the situations that we confront (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007).
The first dyad is that different persons respond differently to the same situation (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). For an example, let us say that an experiment in which a social scientist is trying to find out how people from differing cultural backgrounds react to eating meat. One person might choose to eat the meat and have no problems with doing so. The other person might choose not to because he or she has a religious or cultural issue with eating meat. …show more content…
This would increase motivation in the individuals I was tasked with supervising. I would try to make the decision that best fit the wants and needs of the individual I wanted to deal with. I would try to make the situation I was presenting look like the best possible choice for the individual.
The fourth dyad involves how different situations can prime different parts of an individual. In this case a particular situation such as a football game might prime someone’s competitive spirit while at the same time a movie about a couple in love might prime that persons feelings towards their significant other (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007).
If I were a supervisor in this kind of a situation I would try to prime the characteristics in each individual that I wanted to use. For example if I wanted to get someone to complete a task that I knew took pride in completing hard physical tasks I would attempt to prime that pride characteristic when these types of jobs presented themselves. The decision I would make would attempt to prime the characteristic I needed in order to complete the task that needed to be
