Social Psychology assignment

Visit the website of The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, an organization dedicated to altruistic pursuits.

 

Review the information, literature, and downloadable documents.

 

Design your own assignment in which you implement five acts of kindness (prosocial behavior). Use your discretion, common sense, and modesty at all times. Do not put yourself in an environment of potential danger or harm.

 

Write a paper of 500-750 words, in which you:

 

Describe your implementation of kindness: what did you do, how did you approach the idea, where did you implement it and to whom?

Describe the reactions you perceived from others and yourself.

Describe what you learned about prosocial behavior from this exercise. Compare the actual application of the behavior relative to this topic material.

If you are a faith-based person, explain how your faith helped you implement your helping behavior. If you are not a faith-based person, explain what philosophy, belief system, or values you connected to helping behavior.

When writing in APA style, it is important that your analysis is written in third person. Writing in third person helps with clarity and conciseness throughout your paper. However, some instances writing in first person is acceptable and should be used sparingly. Solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.
