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.

  • Interactive Activities: Includes engaging tasks such as “Check-in Questions” and “Locus of Control in Action,” where students analyze case studies to identify how locus of control influences resistance to social influence. These activities encourage critical thinking and application of key concepts.

  • Assessment Materials: Features exam practice questions on social support and locus of control, with structured guidance on how to answer 4-mark and 8-mark questions. 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.
