This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Milgram’s Variation Experiments and the impact of situational variables on obedience. This lesson provides students with an in-depth understanding of how factors like proximity, location, and uniform affect obedience levels, drawing on real-world applications and critical evaluations of the research.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Explores Milgram’s situational variables, including proximity, location, and uniform, and their effects on obedience. Each variation is explained with key findings and contextual applications.
Interactive Activities: Features engaging tasks like the “Higher or Lower” activity, where students predict how obedience rates change under different conditions. A summary worksheet also reinforces the learning, prompting students to complete data tables and graphically display the findings from Milgram’s variations.
Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions, such as evaluating the situational variables and understanding their impact on obedience, along with model answers and evaluation worksheets to support student exam preparation.
Critical Evaluation: Students are guided to evaluate Milgram’s methodology, considering both strengths (like control and replicability) and limitations (such as ethical concerns and demand characteristics). The lesson also discusses the socially sensitive implications of situational explanations for obedience.
This resource is ideal for classroom teaching and independent study, helping students deepen their understanding of obedience and the situational factors that influence human behaviour.
This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Asch’s Research (1951, 1955) and its exploration of conformity. This resource offers students a detailed understanding of Asch’s experiments, key findings, and critical evaluation, including variations in group size, unanimity, and task difficulty. Through engaging activities, exam practice, and model answers, students will deepen their grasp of social influence and its real-world applications.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Covers the methodology, findings, and conclusions of Asch’s research on conformity. Includes an in-depth look at variations in his experiments and their impact on conformity levels.
Interactive Activities: Features a “Do Now” task on types of conformity, a “Think-Pair-Share” discussion on Asch’s findings, and the “Asch by Numbers” activity, where students connect key statistics to Asch’s research.
Assessment Materials: Includes a practice exam question on the variables affecting conformity, such as group size and unanimity, with guidance on how Asch investigated these variables. Model answers and structured evaluation worksheets further reinforce understanding.
Evaluation and Critical Thinking: Students are encouraged to critically evaluate Asch’s research by examining its strengths and limitations, including sample bias, ecological validity, and the impact of changing societal norms on conformity.
This resource is ideal for both classroom teaching and independent learning, making it a valuable addition to your psychology lessons on social influence.
This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) and its exploration of conformity to social roles. This resource provides students with an in-depth analysis of the procedures, findings, and critical evaluation of Zimbardo’s study, emphasizing ethical considerations and real-world applications.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Covers Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment, including participant recruitment, procedures, and the behaviour of both prisoners and guards. Key findings and conclusions are explored in detail.
Interactive Video Activities: Features a video question sheet to accompany a video on Zimbardo’s research, prompting students to analyze the recruitment, treatment, and behaviour of participants during the study.
Assessment Materials: Includes practice exam questions such as outlining Zimbardo’s research and discussing two limitations of the study, with model answers provided to support exam preparation.
Critical Evaluation: Students engage in evaluating the ethical issues, sample bias, and dispositional influences present in Zimbardo’s research, exploring the extent to which the study’s findings can be generalized to real-life scenarios like prison environments.
This lesson resource is well-suited for classroom instruction or independent study, providing a comprehensive approach to understanding social influence and the power of situational factors on human behaviour.
