Attitudes and social influence (e.g. norms, systematic vs. heuristic persuasion) Attributions Group categorization Stereotypes Prejudice (positive and negative) Discrimination Survival: Frustration-aggression, reproductive selectivity, and/or evolution Correspondence bias Reciprocal altruism Cognitive dissonance

Also, include at least one way that this assignment applies to your real life and might cause you to change how you interact with other people in your life.
