Stanford Prison Experiment- Comprehension Questions

(1)
This worksheet for students focuses on Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment, and is typically used alongside a video (there are several great videos available on Youtube, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_LKzEqlPto). Although the detail is in places more than students need, the SPE is a named key study for AQA, and students tend to be very interested in this anyway. This is also useful for provoking discussion after wards, e.g. about validity, research methods and ethics. Trialled with several classes before publication.

Psychopathology Extension- Culture

(0)
This resource introduces students to two ‘culture-specific’ disorders; one from Japan and one from Cambodia. While not required content, this has been very useful for provoking discussion (hence the inclusion of a few questions that have developed afterwards) about mental illness and culture. This has been particularly good when delivering material on definitions of abnormality. Trialled with several classes before publication.

Psychology Christmas Crackers

A set of codebreakers that reveal some poor (as appropriate for the festive period) puns loosely psychology- and Christmas-themed! Students have to match up the clues to the lettered answers (instructions on sheet). Perfect end-of-term light-hearted Paper 1 / AS revision! Has taken my classes anywhere from 15-25 mins, as a guide. Happy Holidays!
