Students watch a short video and read an article about a hazing incident that occurred at Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook Illinois in 2003 and then apply the goals of psychology (describe, explain, predict and control) to the mental processes and behaviors of the participants. Then based on the basic research within the subfield of social psychology, students will identify terms from the social psychology unit to apply to the hazing.

This is a true and false test that I use on the first day of psychology to introduce students to the variety of topics we will cover during the course, to assess students' current knowledge about psychological topics, and to introduce psychology as a scientific discipline.  All the answers are FALSE.  Students then use the book "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology: Shattering Widespread Misconceptions about Human Behavior" by Scott O. Lilienfeld, Steven Jay Lynn, John Ruscio, Barry L. Beyerstei
