importance of an 'authority figure' in the agentic state, while referring accurately to
the
loss of personal responsibility.
did not differentiate clearly between commitment and consistency. augmentation,
conversion and the snowball effect.
the roles of normative and informational social influence in explaining Asch's
findings.
different sampling methods to improve representation, and use of matched
pairs/repeated measures.
KF was used well to illustrate the possible roles of phonological loop and
visuo-spatial scratchpad. Dual task performance was another effective approach.
two effects of institutionalisation using appropriate specialist terminology. Most
popular were disinhibited attachment and low IQ.
role of classical and operant conditioning in learning theory of attachment
0.15 is a negligible correlation and 0.95 a virtually perfect correlation (straight line).
distinguished between the methods developed by Beck and by Ellis (a number of
answers referred to patient as scientist, homework tasks, cognitive restructuring,
empirical and logical arguments, behavioural activation
etc). The most effective evaluation was the use of studies comparing cognitive
methods with e.g.
drug therapy, demonstrating their effectiveness. Comments on relapse rates, time
and cost were
also relevant, along with the client/therapist relationship, limitations in terms of client
suitability (e.g. severity of depression) and the narrow range of the approach in terms
of causality (e.g. focus on
present circumstances).
when a person acts on behalf of an authority figure/person of higher status
Outline what is meant by 'agentic state' as the actor feels no personal responsibility/does not feel guilty for their actions
an explanation for obedience. the opposite of an autonomous state in which people act according to their own

Jenny should demonstrate consistency by not deviating from her view that not
grading work is a
good idea despite social pressure - she could point out that this is a view that she
has held
throughout her teaching career
Using your knowledge of minority Jenny should demonstrate commitment by placing herself at some
influence, explain how Jenny might be able risk/inconvenience - she may volunteer to field criticisms from students, parents,
to other departments, etc. This will draw more attention to her 'cause' (augmentation
persuade the rest of the department to principle)
accept her view Jenny should demonstrate flexibility by adapting her view/accepting other valid
counterarguments. Perhaps some pieces of work could be ungraded but not all - for
instance,
grading mock exams but not homework
over time, the rest of the department may become 'converted' (snowball effect) - for
example, if Jenny's students start to perform particularly well
normative social influence - going along with the majority through fear of
rejection/being seen as
an outcast; a desire to be liked; leads to compliance; conforming for emotional
reasons - a
temporary change in view/behaviour
informational social influence - going along with the majority through acceptance of
new
information; a desire to be right; leads to internalisation; conforming for cognitive
reasons - a permanent change in view/behaviour
conformity to social roles
accept types of conformity: identification - wanting to have affinity with a group that
we value;
internalisation - private acceptance of the majority view; compliance - public
acceptance despite
private disagreement
accept variables affecting conformity as reasons - group size; unanimity; task
difficulty
Discuss what psychological research has accept dispositional explanations such as having an external locus of control
told us about why people conform.
Possible discussion points:
Discussion of reasons why we conform.
use of evidence to discuss the reasons (eg Sherif (1935), Asch (1951), Anderson et al
(1992),
Baron, Vandello & Brunsman (1996), Zimbardo (1973) )
normative social influence can explain the results of conformity studies in
unambiguous
situations eg Asch
informational influence can explain conformity in ambiguous situations in which both
public and
private agreement occurs, eg Sherif, Jenness
analysis of Asch variations when linked to discussion of reasons
discussion of difficulty measuring and/or distinguishing between reasons why
conformity occurs
discussion of individual differences in reasons for conformity, eg gender, culture,
locus of
control, level of expertise, nAffiliators
