Extended Essay拓展論文是IB課程的三大核心課程之一，簡稱EE，EE需要學(xué)生們選擇一門科目的話題進(jìn)行研究，很多學(xué)生會選擇IB心理學(xué)作為自己的研究科目，要做EE，首先就是要確定選題，但是很多學(xué)生也會卡在選題部分，今天留求藝留學(xué)為大家總結(jié)了IB心理學(xué)EE選題方法及題目推薦，希望對大家有幫助。

IB心理學(xué)EE選題要求

1、IB心理學(xué)EE要求學(xué)生深入調(diào)查自己選擇的主題，發(fā)展其在研究、分析和評估以及溝通方面的技能，從心理學(xué)的角度增加學(xué)生們對行為的理解。

2、IB心理學(xué)EE主題可能是IB心理學(xué)課程所涵蓋領(lǐng)域的延伸，或者是所涵蓋內(nèi)容之外的感興趣的主題。需要注意的是，IB心理學(xué)EE只能基于二手資料。心理學(xué)EE不允許收集原始數(shù)據(jù)。

3、另外，必須確保有足夠的相關(guān)和適當(dāng)?shù)馁Y源可供研究，應(yīng)該在規(guī)劃過程的開始就對此進(jìn)行調(diào)查。最后，研究問題應(yīng)該要求構(gòu)建一個系統(tǒng)的結(jié)構(gòu)和充分支持的論點，在發(fā)展一個知情的結(jié)論。

4、IB心理學(xué)EE的選題還需要避開棘手的話題，“pop psychology”或者 “self-help”領(lǐng)域的主題不適合EE，因為它們沒有同行評審研究的支持。不適于分析、評價和辯論的話題對學(xué)生來說不太可能是最佳選擇。

IB心理學(xué)EE題目示例

1、主題：Gender-related colour choices

研究問題：To what extent is preferred colour choice acquired or innate in young children?

研究方法：

●Recent fashions in the colours of children’s clothing, furnishings and toys seem to have reverted from gender-neutral schemes to pink for girls and blue for boys. This provides material for investigating the question of the extent to which such choices are the result of socialization or of innate predisposition.

●A comparison of evaluated published research findings supporting each type of explanation, having linked the studies to relevant psychological theory.

●Findings and related interpretations regarding the research question from different decades and/or cultural groups could be compared and evaluative commentary provided, focusing on addressing the “To what extent” aspect of the question, culminating in an informed summary conclusion.

2、主題：Media influences on altruistic behaviours

研究問題：To what extent do presentations in the media affect adult choices in volunteering to work for charities?

研究方法：

●An interest in social influences on pro-social behaviours in adults could result in curiosity about the factors affecting the varying levels of adult participation in volunteer activities.

●Is there evidence or theory to suggest some individuals are more predisposed to pro-social behaviours than other individuals?

●Use theory-based research into the efficacy of health campaigns to investigate the impact of media presentations on adult volunteer rates.

●A balanced argument could evaluate evidence claiming support for the success of television adverts, personal presentations at meetings, newspaper articles, etc in recruiting adult volunteers for work with charities, comparing this with evidence to suggest personality type as a more dominant factor in pro-social behaviour.

●The question covers a broad area including possible trans-historical and cross-cultural variations, so the essay’s introduction should clearly indicate the chosen parameters.
