psychology
This assignment is designed to assess your ability to apply the social psychology theories discussed in lectures to real world situations. Social psychology is NOT a purely academic area – it is essential that you are able to understand how social psychology operates in the wider world. We cannot test the applications of social psychology in an exam so this assignment aims to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to recognise social psychology theories in action by completing a simple yet interesting piece of work.
You will need to complete this piece of work on your own. Please refer to the assignment feedback sheet for guidance on how to produce high quality work.
Assignment Brief
You will need to find something in the media that can be explained using one or more social psychology theories (evidence). You will then need to write a report about this media example explaining it in terms of social psychology (report). The word limit for this assignment is between 800 and 1000 words (report only – word count does NOT include the evidence). You should refer to these guidelines and the assignment feedback sheet while completing this assignment.
Draft Submission
You will receive peer feedback on your draft and experience the marking process prior to your final submission. You will submit a (paper) draft assignment directly to your lecturer in the discussion sessions on Monday 18th November (Week 8). Do not attach a standard cover sheet to the draft BUT you MUST ensure that you attach the Draft Feedback Sheet to the front of your draft and complete the Assignment Banner ID box on the front. Please ensure that your work is not identifiable in any other way (change names or use initials if needed, change details to disguise the writer). You will then attend a feedback session in Week 9 (discussion session). During this session, you will collect a piece of work completed by one of your peers – this work will probably be an alternative
