Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Who is more likely to resist orders from authority?

  1. A person with an external locus of control
  2. Both types are equally likely
  3. Neither, as locus of control has no link
  4. A person with an internal locus of control
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — A person with an internal locus of control
Award 1 mark. People with an internal locus feel responsible for their own actions, so they are more likely to resist harmful orders. Those with an external locus feel controlled by outside forces and tend to obey more.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is obedience?

  1. Following a direct order from a person in authority
  2. Changing behaviour to fit in with a group
  3. Refusing an order from a person in authority
  4. Choosing freely without any instructions
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Following a direct order from a person in authority
Award 1 mark. Obedience means doing what an authority figure tells you, as studied by Milgram. Changing to fit a group is conformity, refusing an order is defiance, and acting freely involves no order.

Edexcel GCSE Psychology: Social Influence: Obedience FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel GCSE students preparing for Psychology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Social Influence: Obedience practice with other Psychology topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Social Influence: Obedience questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Psychology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Psychology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Social Influence: Obedience typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers?
Social Influence: Obedience appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
