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 is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Milgram’s Research into Obedience (1963). This lesson explores the procedures, findings, and ethical considerations of Milgram’s study, offering critical insights into why individuals obey authority figures even when asked to perform morally questionable actions.
Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Provides detailed explanations of Milgram’s aim, procedure, and findings, including the famous “shock experiment” and its implications for understanding obedience to authority.
Interactive Activities: Includes a “Do Now” task to engage students in thinking about why people obey authority figures, as well as “Think-Pair-Share” discussions on the ethical issues and validity of Milgram’s research.
Assessment Materials: Offers practice exam questions such as evaluating the methodology of Milgram’s study and discussing the ethical issues involved. Model answers and structured evaluation worksheets are included to support students’ exam preparation.
Ethical and Methodological Evaluation: Students are guided to critically evaluate Milgram’s study, focusing on both its methodological strengths (such as control and replicability) and its ethical challenges (such as deception and psychological harm). Discussion extends to modern ethical standards and how they emerged partly as a result of Milgram’s research.
This resource is perfect for both classroom teaching and independent study, allowing students to deeply explore the complexities of obedience, authority, and the ethical responsibilities of psychological research.
