Your assignment is to write a 3 to 4 page paper (plus the cover page) explaining how various theories and research findings from 1) the study of social influence, and 2) the study of group processes are illustrated in this film. Be sure to discuss both social influence and group processes, but see note #3 below. The American Psychological Association format must also be utilized for the paper.

How to Write a Good Paper
1. Do not rely on us to infer that you understand the material; instead, explain the relevant theory and integrate your example with it. A useful strategy would be to pretend that you are explaining the theory to someone who has never heard about it; that is, explain the theories and concepts in your own words.
2. When you discuss a theory, be sure to go beyond the definition to consider how, why, and when the theory operates. Great papers will also discuss the broader implications of these theories and findings (such as potential real-world implications).
3. More is not better. It is better to choose 2-3 theories and to illustrate them with really good examples (for example, 1 social influence theory and 1 group process theory) than to list all relevant examples from the film and describe them superficially. Be sure to explain each theory, how and when it works, and how it your examples illustrate it.
4. You should integrate material from textbook in your paper. The most relevant assigned chapters are Myers 6, 8, and 15. You may also find the chapter on persuasion (Chapter 7) to be helpful, but using materials from this chapter is not required. You do not have to cover all of these chapters in your paper, nor are you restricted to these chapters in your explanations.
5. Be sure that the content of the paper is relevant to the assignment. A well- written paper that does not address the assigned topic will not receive a good grade.
6. You do not need to know the real names of the actors. Just be sure to provide enough information about each person so that we can follow the points you are making.
7. You do not need to provide a reference section for this paper but make sure you mention which movie you watch the original or the 1997 version.
