A complete, ready-to-teach flipped-learning lesson pack for AQA A-Level Psychology: the dispositional explanation for obedience, including authoritarian personality and Adorno’s research.

A fully resourced, ready-to-teach flipped-learning lesson pack for AQA A-Level Psychology: the dispositional explanation for obedience.

This lesson covers the authoritarian personality as a dispositional explanation for obedience, including key characteristics, links to childhood and Adorno’s research.

This is designed as part of a wider flipped-learning Social Influence sequence. Individual lessons are available separately, but the full Social Influence bundle is better value and follows the intended teaching sequence across the topic.

This is not simply “watch a video for homework”. The lesson is built around a structured flipped-learning cycle: students complete active pre-learning before class, then lesson time is used for retrieval, diagnostic checking, clarification, application, evaluation, exam practice, green pen improvement and reflection.

What is included?

This lesson pack includes:

  • flipped-learning video
  • editable PowerPoint lesson slides
  • matching editable student workbook
  • flipped-learning homework / preparation sheet
  • retrieval practice
  • diagnostic / hinge questions
  • AO1 knowledge-building
  • AO2 application tasks
  • AO3 evaluation practice
  • exam-style question practice
  • model answer / green pen improvement
  • metacognitive reflection

Lesson content

Students will learn to:

  • explain what is meant by a dispositional explanation
  • describe the authoritarian personality
  • explain how authoritarian personality may develop
  • outline Adorno’s research into authoritarian personality
  • apply the authoritarian personality explanation to unfamiliar scenarios
  • distinguish dispositional explanations from situational explanations of obedience
  • evaluate the authoritarian personality explanation
  • practise exam-style explanations using accurate psychological terminology

Why use this resource?

This lesson is designed to reduce teacher planning workload while keeping lesson quality high. The video, flipped-learning sheet, slides and workbook are aligned so that students arrive with a first layer of understanding, allowing class time to focus on the more challenging A-Level Psychology skills: application, evaluation and exam response improvement.

The lesson is suitable for teachers who want a structured, purposeful flipped-learning approach rather than isolated homework tasks.
