PSY205 (Social Psychology): Tutor-Marked Assignment 02 Presentation

Module / Subject / School:

PSY205: Social Psychology

Singapore University of Social Sciences

Requirements: 

• Essay (1300 words).
• With reference to two specific incidents (not necessarily those in these displayed extracts above), describe and discuss the theories of aggression that explain why the respective perpetrators turned violent. For each of your chosen incidents, apart from academic references, include at least two news sources reporting on the event (e.g., you may cite Straits Times and BBC on incident A, and cite Straits Times and Reuters on incident B).
• Apply theories of self-concept to examine the extent you agree with Qin’s opinions about the link between “a stable self” and aggressive behaviour.

What we score:

75%

Our Writer’s Comment 

This assignment is quite challenging because it tests two different skill sets in one submission. Part A checks whether students can apply aggression theories to real incidents without turning the essay into a news report. Many scripts weaken when they retell events but fail to explain behaviour through theory.

Part B causes issues of a different kind. Students often agree or disagree with the quote too quickly and then force self-concept theories to fit their stance. Markers expect balanced evaluation grounded in established models of the self. When executed properly, this TMA scores well. In past intakes, our submissions commonly fall between 75 and 83%.

General Tips to Improve Your Score for This Assignment

• Be selective with incidents: Choose cases with enough public detail to support theory application. Thin or speculative cases weaken analysis.
• Use the relevant theories: Naming frustration-aggression or social learning is not enough. Explain how each theory accounts for the behaviour in that specific incident.
• Separate Parts A and B clearly: Aggression theories belong in Part A. Self-concept theories must drive Part B. Mixing them confuses the argument.
• Engage with the quote critically:
  You are not required to fully agree with Qin Xiaojie. Partial agreement with clear justification often scores higher.
• Manage evidence carefully: News articles support context. Academic sources must do the analytical work. Both are required and both must be used properly.
