SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY: STUDY GUIDE TEST 2
General info:
-Multiple choice (remember to bring the correct form & a pencil)
-One page, one side, of notes is allowed; this means questions will require understanding
& application of concepts, not just memorization
-Questions drawn from lectures and from relevant book chapters; this guide will cover the most important concepts, but any assigned reading material or content discussed or watched in class is fair game!
-Good luck, happy studying : )
