General Learning Outcomes

The general learning outcomes (GLO) at the sociocultural level of analysis (BLOA) include all of the information that is within this level.

There are four general learning outcomes:

GLO1: Outline principles that define the sociocultural level of analysis.
GLO2: Explain how principles that define the sociocultural level of analysis may be demonstrated in research.
GLO3: Discuss how and why particular research methods are used at the sociocultural level of analysis.
GLO4: Discuss ethical considerations related to research studies at the sociocultural level of analysis.

Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.

GLO1

'Explain how the Internet, through the process of internalization, could have lead to a global culture where people from different societies share given beliefs and values that are in many cases different from those shared by their own societies.

" Stanley Milgram's experiment on obedience to authority has posed several ethical dilemmas. Explain the ethical implications of Milgram's experiment and state your opinion on whether or not they could have been avoided."

Example response

There is no example response yet for this outcome.

Additional Notes

This outcome is very similar to GLO2 except that its focus is on the outcomes themselves as opposed to the research.

GLO2

'Discuss whether the formation of stereotypes affect our personality or it is the other way around. In your answer, explain the stereotype formation process and affiliate with one theory of personality.

"The fundamental attribution error and the self-serving bias are two examples of attribution errors. Contrast the two concepts then provide a critique explaining how these two errors might not be enough to explain a certain social behavior. "

Example response

Additional Notes

This outcome is very similar to GLO1 except that its focus is on the research rather than the outcomes themselves.

GLO3

' Distinguish between the expression of emotion in countries that demonstrate a high level of individualism versus countries that have a higher level of collectivism'.

"Examine the effect of stereotypes of masculinity and femininity in a given culture on the developing gender identity of children, and their association with behaviors that are typical of being masculine or feminine."
