The social behavior above shows two people jogging together and getting fresh air in a park. The

first concept that can be related to this social behavior is schemas. This is because jogging and

getting fresh air in the park are daily routines for both of them. Other than that, both of them are

listening to music in their phones so it shows that listening to music is also one of their daily

routines. The next concept would be representative heuristics and this is because by looking at

the tall and fit girl, people would judge her by assuming that she could be an athlete because of

her fit body and her spirit in jogging while the other girl would not be an athlete because she

does not have a fit body. The third concept that can be related to this social behavior is

availability heuristics. This is because when people see the other girl wearing a medical mask,

people would judge that she could be sick or she wants to prevent diseases that can be easily

transferred around her. Besides that, both of them are wearing earphones that are connected to

their phones which makes people think that they are listening to music.
