CONCEPT AND DEFINITION
In this video, we were applied 5 concepts and demonstrated through the
acting of each group members. The 5 concepts are social influence, self
verification, self-fulfilling prophecy, operant conditioning and prejudice.
The first conceptin our video is social influence. Social influence is the
change in behavior that
personcauses in another, as a result of the way the changed personperceives
themselves in relationship to the influencer.
Next, the second conceptis self verification theory. It is a theory that asserts
people want to be known and understood by others according to their firmly held
beliefs and feelings about themselves, that is self-views which including self
concepts and self-esteem.
The third conceptused is self-fulfilling prophecy. It is a prediction that
directly or indirectly causes it to be fulfilled, by the very terms of the prophecy
itself.
The fourth conceptused is operant conditioning. Sometimes it referred to
instrumental conditioning. It is a process ofbehavior modification in which a
subject is encouraged to behave in a desired manner through positive or negative
reinforcement, so that the subject comes to associate the pleasure or displeasure of
the reinforcement with the behavior.
The last conceptused in our video is prejudice. Prejudice is an unjustified or
incorrect attitude towards an individual based solely on the individual’s
membership of a social group.

Choo comes from a highly educated family. Both of his parents are very
successful in their career. During his primary school years, Choo was the top
student in his class. Unfortunately, his parents do not always acknowledge or
appreciate his result academics due to their busy work schedule. Choo became
friends with a girl named Syasya who had the same problem that he was facing
with his parents. His new friend influenced him to steal in order to get attention
from his parents. Since becoming friends with Syasya, Choo started to behave very
badly. Sadly, his parents were not aware of his change in attitude.
Choo started stealing money from his parents. When his parents found out
that he had been stealing money from them, they took the initiative to scold Choo
by pointing him out as a naughty and bad boy instead of teaching him what is right
and wrong. So because of what his parents said, Choo continued to behave in the
same way as he began to believe what they had said to him.
Few days later, Choo began stealing again, this time he stole money from a
student named James who was his classmate. Choo surreptitiously stole money
from James’s bag while Syasya was on the lookout. James found out that it was
Choo who had stolen his money as Choo had accidently left his test paper on the
table near James’s bag. Then, James confronted Choo and accused him of stealing
his money. Choo became furious and shoved James to the wall. James got
frightened and ran off to call the police.
Soon after the incident, Choo's parents was called by a police officer, saying
that Choo had stolen money and acted violently towards a student. So because of
that, Choo was sent to the Juvenile prison. Choo was released after spending a few
