Respond to three questions - set word count. Responding to questions concerning Milgram's study, and Social Identity Theory - 700 words
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am looking for a freelancer who can respond to three questions regarding Milgram's study and Social Identity Theory. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of both topics and be able to provide an insightful and well-researched response.
Question 1: Explain how Milgram’s obedience studies were conducted (i.e., focus on the method), and whether their findings can potentially explain Nazi behaviour during World War 2. (300 words)
CRITERIA: You have accurately and succinctly explained how Milgrim’s obedience studies were conducted and have a focus on the method. Your answer demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the experiments. There are no ambiguities, omissions, errors, or over generalisations.
CRITERIA: You have offered an insightful explanation as to whether Milgrim’s findings can potentially explain Nazi behaviour during World War 2 and provided accurate justification for your response.
Question 2: Explain the basic principles of Social Identity Theory (SIT). (200 words)
CRITERIA: You have succinctly explained a situation where you followed instructions from an authority figure and insightfully reflected upon and identified what social psychological factors might have contributed to your obedience. Your response demonstrates a high level of understanding of the course content.
CRITERIA: You have accurately and succinctly explained the basic principles of SIT. Your answer demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the experiments. There are no ambiguities, omissions, errors, or overgeneralisations.
Question 3: Using empirical psychological evidence, critically evaluate SIT as a contemporary explanation for why racism exists. (200 words)
CRITERIA: You have provided an insightful and critical evaluation of SIT in the context of racism. You have provided accurate justification for your response using empirical research papers that are directly relevant to the topic.
HINTS:
• When considering your response to the critical evaluation of SIT, you do not necessarily have to agree with the theory, but what are researchers saying about it?
• Is there empirical evidence that supports or opposes SIT?
Requirements:
- Knowledge of Milgram's study and Social Identity Theory
- Ability to write in a mix of academic and conversational tone
- Word count for each response should be between 500-700 words
Skills and Experience:
- Strong background in social psychology
- Excellent research and writing skills
- Ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner
Please provide examples of previous work related to psychology or social psychology when applying for this project.
