SOCIO-CULTURAL 
   APPROACH
   •The Individual and the Group (30 mins)
   •Cultural Origins of Behaviour and 
    Cognition (30 mins)
   •Cultural Influences on Individual Attitudes, 
    Identity and Behaviours (30 mins)
    THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP 
    •Social Identity 
     Theory (10 mins)
    •Social Cognitive 
     Theory (10 mins)
    •Stereotypes (10 
     mins)
      SOCIAL IDENTITY THEORY (10 MINS)
      • Seems unlikely as SAQ came up in TZ1 and ERQ came up in TZ2
      • Suitable study for an SAQ Tajfel et al (1970) ?
      • I would not choose as its quite complicated
      • I have always encouraged my students to use Robber’s Cave but this is 
       now feeling a bit old
      • Handout on how to weave theory and study together
      • JC chooses Abrams (a replication of Asch with IV as ingroup and outgroup 
       members)
      • There is also an interviewing study by Drury that could be useful for 
       methods.
      SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY (10 MINS)
      • Given that SIT came up from this 
       topic, one might hope that they 
       choose a different topic area
      • This topic is a gift though; quite easy 
       so practice thoroughly to get best 
       mark
      •  What studies would you use?
        – Bandura (1961, 63, 65): 
        Evaluation exercises including 
        Diamond 9
        – Nielsson
        – Charlton
        – Becker
       STEREOTYPES (10 MINS)
      • One word in the guide: stereotypes!
      • John says they can use the phrase ‘theories’ even 
       when it not in the guide prompt
      • The IB have said that since the focus is on 
       behaviour the question will most likely reference 
       this
      • In the old spec they could separate formation of 
       stereotypes and effect on behaviour; this is not 
       the case any more - more freedom
      • You can study formation of stereotypes by illusory 
       correlation and this will also fulfil the content point 
       about cognitive biases in previous approach 
      • SAQ example on ‘effect on behaviour
      • Spencer and Steele expt: read over the SAQ and 
       make question cards for this study; apfc notes etc; 
       chains of reasoning….web grave 
