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 Adorno’s F-Scale as a dispositional explanation for obedience. The lesson delves into how personality traits, particularly the authoritarian personality, can influence obedience, using Adorno’s research as a key framework. With interactive activities, quizzes, and exam practice questions, students will gain a thorough understanding of dispositional factors in obedience.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Offers a detailed exploration of Adorno’s F-Scale, its development, and how it relates to authoritarian personality traits. Students learn how these traits, formed through harsh parenting, contribute to obedience and prejudice against minority groups.
Interactive Quiz: A multiple-choice quiz designed to assess students’ understanding of Adorno’s F-Scale in a fun and engaging way. Students use A, B, C, or D cards or mini whiteboards to answer questions related to key concepts such as the definition of authoritarian personality and the role of harsh parenting in its development.
Assessment Materials: Includes structured evaluation tasks and practice exam questions on the authoritarian personality. Students are encouraged to critically assess the validity and limitations of dispositional explanations for obedience, comparing them with situational factors. Model answers are provided to guide students in their exam preparation.
Critical Evaluation: The lesson covers strengths and weaknesses of Adorno’s theory, discussing its deterministic nature, political bias, and methodological issues, such as the limitations of correlational research and the validity of the F-scale. Students engage in deeper evaluations, considering alternative explanations like social identity theory.
This resource is perfect for both classroom teaching and independent study, offering students a solid foundation in understanding the dispositional factors contributing to obedience and how personality traits can influence behaviour.

This fully editable lesson covers key sleep disorders, including insomnia and narcolepsy, exploring their symptoms, causes, and treatments. Designed using the OxfordAQA International A-level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson provides an in-depth understanding of sleep disorders, with real-world applications and case studies.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The lesson covers major sleep disorders such as insomnia and narcolepsy, detailing their symptoms, underlying causes (e.g., neurotransmitters like orexin in narcolepsy), and various treatment options (e.g., CBT for insomnia, stimulant medications for narcolepsy). The slides also include relevant research, such as Gregory et al. (2006) on the role of circadian rhythms in insomnia, providing insights into the biological and psychological aspects of these disorders.
Interactive Activities: Engages students through a multiple-choice quiz (MCQ) where they can hold up A, B, C, or D cards to answer questions related to sleep disorders, such as identifying symptoms of narcolepsy or treatments for insomnia. The quiz serves as a quick assessment tool, allowing students to consolidate their understanding of key concepts. The lesson also includes case studies, such as Imran’s experience with insomnia, which encourages students to apply their knowledge by explaining real-life scenarios using psychological theory.
Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions with model answers to assess students’ ability to describe and evaluate research into sleep disorders. Questions cover key areas such as symptoms of insomnia, genetic and personality factors in insomnia, and evaluating research on narcolepsy, helping students prepare for exam-level analysis and evaluation of sleep disorders.
