A lot of people believe Stress & Illness, but with the little trick AQA pulled on us on Unit 1 last monday, we really can't guess...
Januarys paper was a beautyyy though. I'm gutted we don't have that one. Weh

Re: AQA PSYA2 - 10th June 2010Compliance - Pubicly conforming to the beliefs/behavior of a group but privately holding your own views.(Original post by lol234)
Whats the difference between compliance, identification and internalisation?
Identification - Both publicly and privately adopting the beliefs/behavior of a group because you value their membership. However it's often temporary and not maintained on leaving the group.
Internalization - The true conversion of one beliefs/behavior to match those of a group. -

Re: AQA PSYA2 - 10th June 2010One assumption of the biological approach to psychopathology is that abnormality is
inherited.
Explain one way in which psychologists have investigated the genetic basis of
abnormality. (4 marks)
AO3 = 4 marks Explanation of one way in which the genetic basis of abnormality has been investigated
Candidates are most likely to focus on twin studies, family relation studies/biological relatives or adoption studies.
Explanations should refer to:
• Assumptions about genetic similarity and shared environment
• Rationale that underpins the techniques
• Conclusions that can and cannot be drawn for such studies.
Can anyone help on how to answer that please? It's not very clear in my opinion... -
