This is a good site for finding extra readings on topics that pertain to Psychology. The articles are well written and fairly short and straightforward allowing access to the complex ideas for ESL learners. It is also a great site for "study mining" if you are interested in expanding your options on studies relating to the different concepts in Psych. (I especially like PSYBLOG)

I really love this, and have used it often. A great suggestion. Thank you.

This is a good blog page in which you can find 40 blogs selected from the very general to specific and academic.

Exactly as it states. This is a great general resource to help students just getting started with the Abn Psych options, or as a resource for those who are interested in learning more about psychological disorders. Although not strictly linked to the IA, it is a good website.

Great! Don't worry about it not being directly linked to the IA. I have added another tag so others can search for it as well.

Dr Julia Russell's free psychology lesson plans to download from the Uniview website each month. Created for Psychology teachers and are ideal for psychology students to use in the classroom.

Wow! Thank you for this one...new to me, and I went straight to humour - now there's a whole psych question there, isn't there?

When I was trying to adjust to the new curriculum and new exam, this site helped me to determine the differences and provided a number of great resources to use in class

This is a blog where a student organizes information of the psychology course.

This is a good student friendly site.

Ethics are very important when carrying out any type of psychological research. Before we can begin any research method it is vital that we stick to an ethical code of practice, as we will be dealing with people. Ethics refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research.

These are pages with information about ethics in psychology research

Podcast: Download Psychological Research in your life: does your local grocery store know more about you than you do? We take a look at the research that's been done to learn more about your behavior in the supermarket and how that information is used to get you to buy more than you planned for.

This is quite good for introducing the IA and giving guidelines.

Thank you in particular for this. Have added it to my blog.

A good beginning for students - responding to questions that come up from a presentation like this can lead to less larger issues later in the process.

This article helps to distinguish between etic and emic, which is one of the objectives in the sociocultural perspective

This was new to me! Thanks for pointing it out to us.

In this activity you will explore how psychologists draw solid conclusions from the complex and often ambiguous phenomena they study -- how you think, feel, and behave. To begin, imagine you are a research psychologist. You will learn about and then put into practice some of the key terms and concepts you will need to master if your research is to succeed.

Good page that has some resources about unethical studies and various other topics. Good starting point to discuss what is unethical with students.

This seems to have ALOT of resources, very comprehensive and some interesting videos as well!

Students love reading about unethical experiments. It is a fun way to introduce ethics in general.

Thank you, Heath. A good collection.

This is an interesting site to show students about experiments that are NOT ethical. We discuss why they are not ethical.

This is a great source for bio-specific research. Lots of details and very comprehensive

Siri I tried to tag this ib_psychIA but wasn't able to? Laura

I just did... hopefully it worked!

This helps students decide which statistical tool to use on their results

Thank you Siri. An excellent site!

On page 4 of this article there are some good examples of counteracting extraneous variables and really understanding biases. I think articles that summarize experiments like this are good for students to understand the importance of all the little details that could potentially confound their results on the IA. 

This site is called Discovering Psychology and it has 26 topics, all of which are covered in the Psychology Curriculum. It is a companion website to the video series and telecourse with Philip G. Zimbardo.
