Competency
Evaluate psychological theories and their insights into the widely varying opinions and attitudes that are expressed through social media.
Instructions
We have been looking at different psychological theories and the way we can use them to better examine social media. For this assignment, review President Donald Trump. Spend some time looking through their social media accounts: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. Then write your analysis, being sure to cover these points:
- A good introduction including who your subject is and a good overview of them and their social media use
- Examples and discussion of schema/script theory in your subject
- Examples and discussion of cultivation theory in your subject
- Examples and discussion of agenda-setting theory in your subject
- Examples and discussion of social learning in your subject
- Examples and discussion of uses and gratifications theory in your subject
- Conclusions
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
