This activity works well with lesson (b) (Studying Individuals) in the first topic in the introduction in IB Psychology: A Student’s Guide<\/span>. It will be part of the second lesson in my course.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aim<\/h2>\n

One of the aims of this lesson is to introduce students to the idea of how psychological studies need to make generalizations across groups of people, but we have to be careful with the language we use when making these generalizations. (Examples are provided in the textbook on page 13).<\/p>\n

It also introduces part of a study and some ideas (the culture of honor) that will be taught in more detail later in the unit on criminology.<\/p>\n

As much as possible I like to use studies that will appear elsewhere in the course when teaching new concepts, as it helps to reinforce and build on learning.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
