Social Psychology Aston 1st year PY1118 Essay Guidance.

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I have last posted anything. I was successful in my A-levels and now I am an Aston undergraduate student in Psychology. Now myself and some friends of ours are a little confused on how to write a Social Psychology essay. Here is the Question:
PY1118 Essay: How do other people influence our behaviour? Discuss with reference to social psychological theory and research (1500 words +/- 10%)

So the topics I am going to discuss are the following:

•

Contact Hypothesis

•

Alturism/ Pro-Social Behaviour

•

Social Influence > Comformity > Obedience.

•

Minority Influence

•

Group Processes and Possibly a little area on Conflict.

I know the content of the essay, but I am stuck on how to set it out? Also can you offer me any writing tips, that can be useful for a peice of writing of this nature.

Thanks.x :smile:
