Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A script in psychology refers to a schema or mental framework that represents a typical sequence of events or actions that are expected in a particular situation. It is not necessarily the best representation of some category, nor is it a cognitive representation that gives a specific type of person meaning. It is not memory for past events, although it may influence how we remember events. It is not necessarily culturally-bound, although scripts can vary across cultures.
