AQA A-Level Psychology Minority Influence Lesson

A complete AO1/AO2 skills‑focused lesson on Minority Influence (PowerPoint), ideal for A‑Level Psychology before teaching research studies.

FULL DESCRIPTION:
This fully planned Minority Influence lesson is designed to build strong AO1 and AO2 skills before introducing students to the research evidence (e.g., Moscovici). It provides a clear, engaging and exam‑focused introduction to the three key minority influence processes: consistency, commitment and flexibility.

The resource is supplied as a PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word Document (.docx) is ideal for AQA A‑Level Psychology, though it can be adapted for other specifications covering Social Influence.

Inside the lesson, you’ll find:

• Clear AO1 explanations of the three minority influence processes
• AO2 application tasks using real‑world and sport‑based scenarios
• “Show‑me board” activities for quick formative assessment
• Think‑pair‑share discussion prompts
• Model answers and structured 6‑mark practice questions
• An introduction to AO3 evaluation using the PEEL method
• Extension challenges to stretch higher‑ability learners
• A final exit ticket to assess understanding

This lesson does not yet cover AO1 research studies, making it perfect as a skills‑focused introduction before teaching Moscovici (1969) or other supporting evidence. Students learn how to apply theory, analyse influence processes and begin building confidence with AO3 evaluation.
