In addition to all the social psych and group dynamics, one can examine all sorts of cognitive issues, problem-solving processes, algorithms, heuristics, possible metacognition, role of memory, confabulation, mental sets, framing, belief bias, cognitive dissonance, persuasion, conversational styles, and more. I've also seen a version of the film that contains people of different ethnicities.Chuck Schallhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702026786146260724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485236030082659520.post-91593717598286224632009-05-13T10:13:00.000-07:002009-05-13T10:13:00.000-07:00I haven't used this in my AP Psych classes, but I ...I haven't used this in my AP Psych classes, but I did have to write a paper on it for a Grad class in Group Dynamics.

I remember being in this show in high school - great script (although watching a bunch of high school students get through all of that dialog may have been painful for the audience). <br /><br />There's also a co-ed version of the show out there called "12 angry jurors".<br /><br />I've heard that law offices employ psychologists to research how jurors are influenced - this movie might be a great way to get students interested in that research?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156274994401292707noreply@blogger.com
