This fully editable lesson on Group Membership Effects explores how group belonging shapes individual behaviour, with a focus on deindividuation and in-group/out-group dynamics. Aligned with the OxfordAQA International A-Level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson provides insights into the psychological processes that drive behaviours within groups, helping students understand how social identities impact attitudes and actions.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The slides detail foundational concepts in group psychology, including deindividuation and in-group/out-group effects. Students explore how deindividuation leads to a loss of self-awareness and increases the likelihood of extreme behaviours, as illustrated by classic studies like Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment and Sherif’s Robbers Cave Experiment. Visual aids and structured explanations help students grasp the implications of group membership in real-world contexts, such as workplaces and social environments.
Interactive Activities: Thought-provoking “Do Now” prompts and Think-Pair-Share discussions engage students, encouraging them to reflect on their own group affiliations and how these may influence their behaviour. Scenario-based questions, like analysing why Ken from the burger restaurant has negative feelings toward workers in the neighbouring pizza restaurant, allow students to apply theories such as deindividuation and social identity theory to practical examples.
Evaluation Points and Assessment Materials: The lesson includes structured PEEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Evaluation) tasks to help students critically assess theories on group membership. Evaluation worksheets explore the strengths and limitations of deindividuation and social identity theory, addressing aspects like cultural influences and ethical considerations. Exam-style questions further reinforce understanding, challenging students to apply theoretical concepts to real-life situations where group dynamics shape behaviour.
This fully editable lesson on Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) explores the nature and impact of digital communication on interpersonal interactions, particularly within professional settings. Aligned with the OxfordAQA International A-Level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson helps students understand how electronic devices affect social exchanges and relationships, covering both advantages and limitations of digital communication.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The slides provide a thorough introduction to CMC, detailing its main features and effects on social interactions. Students learn about various forms of CMC—such as email, social media, and video calls—and examine core concepts like self-disclosure and ‘gating’. Visual aids and real-world examples help students grasp the psychological and social implications of CMC, such as reduced non-verbal cues and changes in communication style.
Interactive Activities: Engaging “Do Now” prompts invite students to reflect on their experiences with electronic communication and consider its differences from face-to-face interactions. Think-Pair-Share discussions and structured extension questions encourage critical thinking on topics like the long-term impact of CMC on relationships and its role in fostering or hindering social connections. Students explore scenarios involving CMC, such as using email for professional feedback, to contextualize theoretical concepts.
Evaluation Points and Assessment Materials: The lesson includes structured PEEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Evaluation) tasks to deepen students’ critical analysis skills. Evaluation questions address the strengths and limitations of email communication, covering points like accessibility, non-verbal cue absence, egocentrism, and the ‘online disinhibition effect’. Additionally, exam-style questions provide practical application opportunities, such as explaining the benefits of face-to-face communication over email in specific scenarios.
