Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!Hi guys, I'm doing depression, media and (obviously) research methods.
Does anyone have any predictions for depression? They are always 24 mark essays right? So I can at least limit my revision to a few topics? Or is it best to revise everything?

I would revise everything. If you get a bad paper, you'll have lost 24 marks otherwise...(Original post by Reason)

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!This is my first TSR post so be gentle
Does anyone know how specific the questions on the three models of addiction can be? Can they ask you specifically about biological explanations of relapse for smoking, or do they have to be more generic and ask about a whole model? i.e initiation, maintenance and relapse? -

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!Schizophrenia(Original post by CityOfDelusion)
Sorry if it's been asked before but does anyone have the schizophrenia and media questions from the June 2011 paper? It's not coming up on the website
Left this revision way too late!!!
'There is considerable evidence that schizophrenia is caused by biological factors. These can be genetic, neuroanatomical, biochemical, viral or a combination of such factors'
Discuss biology explanations of schizophrenia.
Media
05. A local school head teacher wants to produce a leaflet for parents about the possible effects of video games and computers on young people. Suggest what information should be included in your leaflet. Use your knowledge of psychological research in this area to justify your advice. (10 marks)
06. Outline the Hovland-Yale model of persuasian (5 marks)
07. Outline and evaluate findings of research into intense fandom. (4 + 6 marks) -

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!No they can be specific and ask about explanations for initiation/maintenance/relapse and ask for specific addiction types like smoking and gambling . I've seen it on a few past papers; have a look through AQA's website.(Original post by robert_page)
