  • Interdisciplinary extended essay for the IB.

    Extended Essay Planning Form

    1. Title (This should be fairly general, and not phrased as a question)

    Ex: An Exploration on the Effect of Social Media on Adolescents Ability to Socially Interact

    How redbull used psychological principles to promote their brands identity.

    1. Potential Research Question (this will evolve, but should be focused and phrased as a question):

    Ex. To what extent does TotalEnergies reconcile its CSR objectives when it comes to the

    Tilenga/EACOP project?

    To what extent did psychological principles of social proof and group identity contribute to the effectiveness of Red Bulls grassroots seeding strategy during its early market entry?

    1. Aims of the research (why your EE is worthy of study)

    Ex: This research is relevant as it highlights changes in the environment that impact us directly both physically (health) and emotionally, OR with fewer resources, companies will need to develop new technologies that are created using alternative methods that dont compromise the environment.

    This EE aims to research and put to light how red bull used psychological principles and mechanisms to influence the target audiences perception of the brand and its identity. Understanding these factors is important as it could promote us to analyze the world around us, and understand what could be part of a strategic marketing stunt.

    1. What are the important or key theories/theorists and concepts you will be incorporating?

    The theories and concepts that I will be using are Social Proof (Robert Cialdini, 1984). Redbull’s seeding strategy relies on a perceived image of the brand, influencing people to think that the drink is more popular than it really was at the time. I will also refer to Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979), as this marketing strategy influences the youth and target audience to buy into the trend and culture, not the drink itself. Thirdly I will write about the bandwagon effect (Leibenstein, 1950), it is relevant because people bought the product for its perceived popularity, joining the bandwagon. Finally, I will also incorporate the Word-of-Mouth & WOM Diffusion (Arndt, 1967; Katz & Lazarsfeld, 1955) as this is essentially what the seeding strategy is.

    GRADING STANDARDS

    Your post is worth a possible 10 points. To receive the full 10 points for this post, you must respond to all four sections of reflection and address all prompts fully, totaling around 3-4 double-spaced pages. Be honest; part of the goal of these posts is to have an opportunity to receive feedback and support from us – we have experience with using these skills and coaching on the use of them. Your grade is NOT based on how well you used the skills, but rather on how much we can see you reflected on the skills/content and have thought about how it applies to your life. Incomplete or late responses will be docked points.

    Discussion Thread: Professional Networking and Fieldwork Preparation After completing the assigned Learn items, respond to the prompts below. Make sure to support your discussion with the chapter readings and integrate a Christian worldview or biblical theme in your response. Discuss the importance of professional networking while you are in training and after you are licensed. Identify at least 3 potential fieldwork sites in your community (name and website) and provide a brief description of the services they offer and populations they serve. To prepare for the Module 8: Week 8 Discussion, find and request an interview with an independently licensed professional counselor (not a pre-fully licensed counselor). As this is an orientation to the field of clinical mental health, please identify a clinical mental health counselor and not someone from a related field. Ideally work from the sites you identified in your community as potential fieldwork sites; however if this is not possible any independently licensed mental health counselor will be acceptable. The interview can take place in person, on the phone, or through e-mail. In this section of the discussion response, a) confirm the name of the counselor and their counseling credential (e.g., LPC, LMHC); b) In addition to the questions posed below, offer at least one more question to add to your interview. How do you define the professional identity of a counselor as compared to other mental health disciplines? What is the most rewarding part of being a counselor and what is the most difficult? What theoretical models do you use? And What words of wisdom do you have for someone who is in their first course of a masters degree program in counseling?
