Idiographic and Nomothetic approaches to Psychological research

This encompasses 2-3 lessons with opportunity for some of this to be done as homework, it includes review of methodology (quant vs qual) and what approaches are idiographic and nomothetic including examples.

There are extensive writing opportunities which culminate at the end as the elements of a 16 mark essay (AQA). The handout referred to are actually the pages on the topic in the cat/dog books, which i cannot share here as i do not own them.

The complete process will walk learners through both approaches, as well as how to evaluate them, it includes an example essay plan, room for them to create their own as well as 2 example 8 mark essays that can be fused together with 2 additional paragraphs to make a 16 mark essay - these 2 essays allow for close consideration and development of understanding of each approach.

There are also some examples and match up exercises to test knowledge - and the links to an online website (which i do not own or did not create) is attached which is useful to use for revision.

I have also attached at the end some video recommendations for students or teachers to use as part of learning or as consolidation of learning.
