To convince my students they are surrounded by social psychology, we attended a minor league hockey game. During the next class period I asked students to write a brief paragraph about their experiences. From those paragraphs I chose four reoccurring themes to analyze from a social psychological perspective. My introductory classes and I benefited by (a) experiencing firsthand incidents of aggression, deindividuation, in-group bias and stereotyping; (b) applying what they already knew about Operant conditioning and Social learning to new situations and c) understanding social psychological phenomena through the use of salient example rather than definitions.
