Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!

People doing media any guesses about what you think might come up?? Im thinking maybe cognitive dissonance etc and celeb attraction?

Reductionist - assumes we cannot take both the central and peripheral route at the same time.
Petty & Cacioppo suggest they can be processed at the same time and overlap one another - When evaluating a message you may be deeply thinking about and scrutinising the content of the message, while also looking at the speaker and questioning whether they LOOK reliable etc.

Are we likely to get asked to write an essay on one psychological explanation of SZ????

Ah yeah thats what i thought, so do you know what is included in theory constructing, if its not popper? And thank you!

PREDICTIONS PLEASE

FOR:
SCHIZOPHRENIA
ADDICTION
RESEARCH METHODS

I have a few ideas

SCHIZO - COMPARE AND CONTRAST
ADDICTION - COGNITIVE
RESEARCH METHODS - CONSENT FORM

Schizophrenia: Compare and contrast what?? Most people seem to think it will be therapies for schizophrenia

I think she means a question such as "Compare biological therapies with psychological therapies in treating schizophrenia"

Hi everyone

In case anyone needs some extra notes, I have some on my website for Unit 4, specifically on Schizophrenia, Depression, Addiction, and Anomalistic psychology (and a guide through for a past research methods paper)

Good luck!

Compare and contrast questions have been removed - they wont come up.

This was confirmed by Cara Flanagan - the writer of the complete companion books.

I posted a link to her actual reply on her blog as I asked her this question and she says compare and contrast questions were on the old syllubus or something.

Edit: Link to her response found : http://www.oxfordschoolblogs.co.uk/psychcompanion/blog/community/topic/psya4-help/page/2/#post-2483

I think paliative, the opposite is curative which cures it

Thank you!

theory constructing is the induction and deduction models, not sure who created them though..

Thank-you, that will be one to cross off the list then ... obviously I will revise it a bit but not massively!!

Also, does anyone know how many issues of classification and diagnosis we actually need to know because I have notes on 11 with supporting evidence etc ... is about 5 more appropriate?! x

Noticed you asked about using behavioural explanations and therapies on the blog,

Are you still planning on using them? I have the exact same dilemma and don't know if i should just learn another type of therapy i.e psychodynamic in case the examiners don't really take behavioural seriously. What do you think?
