Crash Course Psychology #19: Monkeys and Morality by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Fifteen short-answer questions follow a linked Crash Course Psychology video episode, moving from Harlow's monkey-attachment experiments and the "strange situation" test through the three major parenting styles and into Kohlberg's three levels of moral development, including the Heinz Dilemma. Each question provides a single blank line for a written response, so students watch the episode and record their own answers in complete sentences. A separate teacher answer key gives a full model answer for every question, covering topics such as what the critical period is for ducks and geese, when self-awareness typically begins, and what critics say about the gap between moral thinking and moral action. Both the student worksheet and the answer key are provided in matching Word and PDF versions.
