Research Task – Aggression

Filed under: Uncategorized — aprilgold @ 11:16 am

When you have completed your second draft coursework, you need to start carrying out some research for our next topic.

We are going to look at two explanations of aggression:

  • Social Learning Explanation
  • De-individuation Explanation

Use Google to find out some basics about Social Learning Theory and De-individuation. Answer the following questions:

  1. What are the key features of social learning theory?
  2. What studies support this theory and why?
  3. How does Social Learning Theory explain why some people are more aggressive than others?
  4. What are the key features of de-individuation?
  5. What studies support this theory and why?
  6. How does De-individuation explain why some people are more aggressive than others?

Produce a mindmap/poster/powerpoint of your findings.

Coursework first draft feedback

Filed under: Uncategorized — aprilgold @ 3:53 pm

We are disappointed with your first drafts and hope that the feedback we have given you will enable you to improve your estimated grades substantially.

To support your improvement ALL lessons for the first 2 weeks after half term will focus on coursework. You MUST bring your coursework, the mark sheet, your workbook and resource pack to every lesson. You should also have an electronic copy available to you in school at all times.

Second drafts are due on the 17th November – no excuses. Failure to hand in coursework or submission of below standard work will mean that we will involve your parents.

If you do not come to lessons with the above equipment and/or are unfocussed and/or disruptive during lessons you will be sent to the withdrawal room and parents will be contacted as we will be seeing this as a persistent refusal to work.

We will be speaking to you about this on Monday. If you have any queries outside school time post a comment below or email us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
