Psychology AQA A PSYA3 11th June 2012!

Thank you. One other question with IDA do you include it within AO2 evaluations.
Or do you put it at the end, pick a couple and make a separate paragraph for each

You can do it however it suits you! Its best to keep it structured so they can easily pick out marks though I think.

I used this:

Theory>Research Studies + Evaluation of them>IDA's at the end.

I put them at the end so they stood out more when I did it.

Do you have any ideas for IDA's with narcolepsy and sleepwalking...so far I have this..

The diathesis-stress model for sleep walking shows that it is neither nature nor nurture but an interaction between the two. For instance, an individual may be genetically predisposed to SW (nature) but it will only occur in the individual if they experience factors in their environment such as sleep deprivation (nurture) which will both lead to increased SWS which may trigger sleep walking.

But can't think of anything else! I also have a real-world application for SW. Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

At the moment I'm writing flashcards for possible essays which might come up and they are working pretty well. Just learn the studies and the IDAs will follow.

same, I'm just condensing my essays onto flashcards now. Much easier to learn :smile:

Relationships

ITS GOING TO BE SEXUAL SELECTION

Or, maybe culture / maintenance.

I'm not even going to bother learning the rest ^^

One of my teachers who writes and marks the exam predicted that Maintenance is unlikely to come up because there is too much overlap between formation and breakdown (which have already come up)

Teachers don't want students to end up with Es and Us. If you were a teacher wouldn't you want your students to get top grades?

I did a practise essay as i think it may come up and i got 19/24
here's a brief summary of my essay hope it helps! x

state what the bio approach says - relate it to aggression
Court brown study - However an issue with this is the fact that many psychologists had already incorporated the incorrect view of the link between aggression and genetics into their thinking which may be a concern for psychologists presenting their evidence etc
Cairns animal study -Cairns study is an animal study therefore can only be generalized to human with extreme caution and is quite limited because aggression in humans is very different as humans are more complex compared to mice. It shows that aggression can be passed down from one generation to another.
Nature/Nurture Debate & Ethics of saying that aggression is down to genetics
Hutchings study - cant be generalized to females
Reductionist as we dont fully understand human behaviour
Free will- It would mean that people cannot control their aggressive behaviour and therefore it would be deemed “acceptable” to be aggressive towards another human

uhm for relationships I really do think people should learn culture, maintenance + parental investment, childhood and not just think its gonna be sexual selection.

You never knew they might split the question.....

I totally agree, I think maintenance is my best bet. But if not that I do think it will be parental investment or culture.
