This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Minority Influence within the topic of Social Influence. It explores how a minority can impact the beliefs and behaviors of the majority through the processes of consistency, commitment, and flexibility. With engaging activities, critical evaluations, and research-based examples such as Moscovici’s blue-green slide study, students will develop a thorough understanding of minority influence in social settings. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Introduces students to key concepts of minority influence, including the roles of consistency, commitment, and flexibility. Real-world examples like the Civil Rights Movement and LGBTQ+ rights are used to illustrate the power of minority influence in driving social change. Interactive Activities: Includes a variety of engaging activities, such as a “Do Now” prompt, think-pair-share discussions, and case studies. Students analyze how minority groups can lead to internalization and long-lasting attitude changes using concepts like the snowball effect and deeper processing. Research-Based Insights: Provides a detailed analysis of Moscovici’s blue-green slide study, explaining how consistency in a minority’s viewpoint can lead to greater influence. Research from Wood et al. and Martin et al. is also used to highlight key findings on minority influence. Assessment Materials: Features exam practice questions that challenge students to apply their understanding of conformity and minority influence to hypothetical scenarios. For example, they are asked to explain how a small group of students could convince their peers to adopt an environmentally-friendly initiative using the key principles of minority influence. Critical Evaluation: Students are encouraged to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of research into minority influence, including the artificial nature of tasks like identifying the color of slides and the challenges of studying minority influence in real-world settings. This resource is ideal for both classroom teaching and independent study, equipping students with a comprehensive understanding of how minority groups can drive social change and influence majority opinions.

This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Resistance to Social Influence through the roles of Social Support and Locus of Control. The lesson helps students understand how individuals can resist pressures to conform or obey authority figures, drawing on research and real-world examples. With interactive activities, critical evaluation, and exam practice questions, students will gain a thorough understanding of resistance to social influence. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Covers key explanations of resistance to social influence, including social support and locus of control, supported by research from Asch and Milgram. Students will learn how social support and an internal locus of control can reduce conformity and obedience in various situations.

These activities encourage critical thinking and application of key concepts.

Model answers are provided to help students prepare effectively for their exams. Critical Evaluation: Students critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of social support and locus of control theories, including research evidence and real-world applications. They are encouraged to explore the role of dissenting peers and the impact of personality traits on resistance, as well as consider alternative explanations like situational factors. This resource is perfect for both classroom teaching and independent study, giving students a solid foundation in understanding how individuals resist social influence and how social and dispositional factors interact in these processes.
