IB Psychology SL 2.3.9 Social Identity Theory Questions

Refer to the paper 1 section A markbands below when awarding marks.
The command term "outline" requires candidates to give a brief account of social identity theory, referring to one relevant study.
Responses should present the key concepts of the social identity theory such as social categorization (ingroup/outgroup), social comparison, and positive ingroup distinctiveness, with reference to one relevant study.
Relevant studies may include, but are not limited to:
- Tajfel's studies on social groups and identities
- Sherif et al.'s Robber's Cave study (1961)
- Cialdini et al.'s Basking in Reflected Glory study (1976)
- Abrams's study of the role of social identity theory on levels of conformity (1990)
- Maass's study on the role of social identity theory on violence (2003).
If a candidate refers to more than one study, credit should be given only to the first study.
If a candidate outlines the theory without making reference to a study, up to a maximum of [4] should be awarded.
If a candidate only describes an appropriate study, without making reference to social identity theory, up to a maximum of [3] should be awarded.
