authors, Myers and Twenge (2021), start off talking about Cinderella, a popular folktale. They then deconstruct the message in two versions of the folktale. For many of us, folktales represent some of our earliest moments of understanding how the social environment impacts individual attitudes, behaviors, and ways of thinking. Think about the folktales you know and the messages or wisdom they communicate as you discuss this week's topics.

• Is there a question, related to social psychology, that you would like to have answered by research? State the question and describe the steps you would take to answer your question.
