Key Studies Summary: The Effect of Globalisation on Behaviour

SUMMARY TABLE: KEY STUDIES OF THE EFFECT OF GLOBALISATION ON BEHAVIOUR

Topic

 

Two Key Studies

The Interaction of Local and Global Influences on Behaviour 

 

Bhugra & Mastrogianni (2004)

Lyons-Padilla et al. (2015)

How do I use these studies in an exam question on this topic?

  • HL IB students have a lot of content to cover so the purpose of this revision resource is to slim down and streamline the number of studies you need per topic/exam question

  • The exam question will ask you to either ‘Evaluate’ or ‘Discuss’ either the effect of globalisation on (individual) behaviour

  • You may also be asked ‘To what extent’ globalisation may have an effect on (individual) behaviour

  • For any of the above questions (evaluate, discuss, to what extent) you can use the two studies presented in the summary table here

  • If you are asked to (for example) ‘Discuss the effect/influence of globalisation on (individual) behaviour’’ you would use BOTH Bhugra & Mastrogianni (2004) and Lyons-Padilla et al. (2015) in depth 

  • Lyons-Padilla et al. (2015) can also be used for a question on Acculturation which could appear as either a Paper 1 Section A question (SAQ = 9 marks) or a Paper 1 Section B answer (ERQ = 22 marks)

  • When answering an exam question on this topic remember to acknowledge that globalisation can have both positive and negative effects on (individual) behaviour so always bring in critical thinking and rigorous evaluation to your 22-mark responses

  • Remember that the HL questions will only ever appear on Paper 1 Section B (ERQ = 22 marks), never on Section A
