1 AP Psychology Curriculum Course Description: Advanced Placement Psychology is the equivalent of a college introductory psychology course. This is a rigorous and demanding course, intended to provide the scope and level of accomplishment expected in a college/university setting. The curriculum for this course places a heavy emphasis on essential readings, writing assignments, independent projects, and frequent tests intended to prepare students for the AP Exam. The instructor's role is to facilitate your drive and accomplishment by structuring learning situations and selecting learning tools to help you attain your goals: a successful score on the AP Psychology Exam, an enrichment of your life through the acquisition of psychological knowledge, and enjoyment of the course.

3 Unit 1: History & Approaches Subject: AP Psychology Grade: Name of Unit: History & Approaches Length of Unit: 1-3 class periods Overview of Unit: Psychology has evolved markedly since its inception as a discipline in There have been significant changes in the theories that psychologists use to explain behavior and mental processes. In addition, the methodology of psychological research has expanded to include a diversity of approaches to data gathering. Priority Standards for unit: AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: Recognize how philosophical and physiological perspectives shaped the development of psychological thought. Describe and compare different theoretical approaches in explaining behavior: structuralism, functionalism, and behaviorism in the early years; Gestalt, psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, and humanism emerging later: evolutionary, biological, cognitive, and biopsychosocial as more contemporary approaches. Recognize the strengths and limitations of applying theories to explain behavior. Distinguish the different domains of psychology (e.g., biological, clinical, cognitive, counseling, developmental, educational, experimental, human factors, industrialorganizational, personality, psychometric, social). Identify major historical figures in psychology (e.g., Mary Whiton Calkins, Charles Darwin, Dorothea Dix, Sigmund Freud, G. Stanley Hall, William James, Ivan Pavlov, Jean Piaget, Carl Rogers, B. F: Skinner, Margaret Floy Washburn, John B. Watson, Wilhelm Wundt). Supporting Standards for unit: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH Evaluate various explanations for actions or events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH Evaluate authors' differing points of view on the same historical event or issue by assessing the authors' claims, reasoning, and evidence. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH Evaluate an author's premises, claims, and evidence by corroborating or challenging them with other information.

Priority Standards for unit: AP students in psychology should be able to do the following: Apply attribution theory to explain motives (e.g., fundamental attribution error, selfserving bias). Describe the structure and function of different kinds of group behavior (e.g., deindividuation, group polarization). Explain how individual respond to expectations of others, including groupthink, conformity, and obedience to authority. Discuss attitudes and how they change (e.g., central route to persuasion). Predict the impact of the presence of others on individual behavior (e.g., bystander effect, social facilitation). Describe processes that contribute to differential treatment of group members (e.g., ingroup/out-group dynamics, ethnocentrism, prejudice). Articulate the impact of social and cultural categories (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity) on self-concept and relations with others. Anticipate the impact of behavior on a self-fulfilling prophecy. Describe the variables that contribute to altruism, aggression, and attraction. Discuss attitude formation and change, including persuasion strategies and cognitive dissonance. Identify important figures in social psychology (e.g., Solomon Asch, Leon Festinger, Stanley Milgram, Phillip Zimbardo). Supporting Standards for unit: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH Evaluate various explanations for actions or events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain.

How do attribution theory, group behavior, conformity, and obedience fundamentally change a person s behavior? 2. How do we cause attitudes to form and change? 3. How can attributions and attitudes interact with social and cultural elements to create categories used to impact the treatment of others and self-perceptions? 4. How do differing situational factors lead to prosocial behavior (such as altruism or attraction) versus antisocial behaviors (aggression)? Enduring Understanding/Big Ideas: 1. The presence of other humans and groups significantly alters the way a person behaves, thinks, and reacts to other behaviors and situations. 2. Social affiliations and culture dramatically influence attitudes, the treatment of others, and a person s own self-concept. (Questions 2 & 3 are needed to address the fullness of this understanding)
37 3. There are more variables that lead to prosocial behavior than antisocial behavior. 4. Question 4 is addressing understanding 3 above.
