Write a preliminary plan
Consider possible structures for the main contents (equivalent to understanding the implications of the essay title)
Consider some possible themes for the essay
Do some preliminary reading if necessary (you may have a relevant set of lecture notes to help you)
Plan the macrostructure (main sections) of the essay
Consider the microstructure of each section
Do some detailed reading
Adjust the macrostructure and microstructure if necessary
Create a detailed plan, outlining key words for each point to be made in each section
Read through keywords, checking that the theme is argued consistently through the essay
Write the final version of the essay
Read through your essay to correct any punctuation and spelling errors

I suggest you start with planning out what you think the answers you should discuss are. Then find evidence to back up your thinking. Then write the middle bit (at the same time as writing your reference add them to the bibliography then you wont miss any out). Then write your conclusion and lastely write your introduction as you will then know what the essay is trying to say.
If you are really stuck ask the tutor who is going to mark it what they like, as I find that you have to write in a different style to please every tutor so make sure you know what they like and write like that or else your marks will be lower.

you need to read everything you can find on the subject. If you can understand it then it will be much easier for you to write about it.
Knowledge and Understanding are one of the most important parts of essay writing.
We were given 12 weeks at Uni to write an essay, 6 weeks to read up and 6 weeks to write the thing.

You are way out of your depth, you should not be taking a psychology class if you don't even know how plan out an essay, that's the trouble with asking other people to do your homework for you, you don't actually learn anything. My suggestion is do your own homework or you will end up completely wasting every ones time including your own, if you cant be bothered to learn why bother going to the classes? stop relying on others for your own sake.

Respected Asker! The following information will be helpful to you in finding what you are looking for.
An essay is a short work of writing that treats a topic from an author's personal point of view. Essays are non-fictional but often subjective; while expository, they can also include narrative. Essays can be learned arguments, literary criticism, political manifestos, observations of daily life, recollections and reflections of the author.
The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article and a short story. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While today an essay is partly defined by its brevity, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population refer to themselves using the term.
