This product is for the Developmental section. Please see my free Bandura study for an example.

This product contains 20 specially created studies that can be used to cover the new specification of IB Psychology. It also includes a guide to show which studies can be used to address which questions/topics.

The studies are a mix of classic experiments and newer research. Most studies cannot be found in the course textbooks, giving students the advantage of using studies that the majority of IB students will not be aware of. Those studies that are in the regular textbooks are presented in a simpler, cleaner and more straightforward format.

• There is at least 1 study for each SAQ.
• There are at least 2 studies for each ERQ.
• In some cases, there are more studies, so you have the scope to choose studies which you prefer.

All the studies have been written to be simple and clear for students from an international background who may not have English as their first language. Each study also includes an evaluation section which can be used to help with the critical thinking required for ERQ questions.

Each study has a short text at the top which lists the areas in which the study can be used. This allows for fast cross-referencing. It also has an Abstract which can help when revising so students can quickly review the study. They all also contain helpful or colourful pictures to give students a visual anchor to the study.

Some studies contain 2 or 3 versions of the experiment to allow students to focus on sections they find more interesting.

There are a variety of simple and more complicated studies with the earlier topics leaning towards an easy access approach and later topics having more detail.

Please note:

There is a free version of Bandura’s study available for you to be able to examine as a sample.

There are 5 packs available: Biological, Cognitive, Socio-cultural, Developmental and Human Relationships. Many of the studies are repeated in the other packs. These ‘multi-use’ studies were carefully selected to address as many topics across the whole of the IB course as possible in order to reduce the amount of studies the student is required to learn.

In total, there are 68 individual studies that comprise the whole course, but the amount required by the student to learn can be greatly reduced through selecting appropriate studies using the guides included. Many studies can be used 5 or 6 times, and some can be omitted completely if desired.

This pack contains studies ONLY. It does not contain information on the theories. It does indicate which theories are associated with which study, but the students will need to be aware of the theories in order to properly utilise the studies. All the theories that are specifically required by IB (e.g. schemas, cognitive biases, working memory model) have appropriate studies in this pack.
