and that's why i really want it to come up, or at least as a 8/10 marker !!

Agreed!

How would people tackle Life Changes / Daily Hassles as an 8 or 10 marker? Also, will it be one or the other or both?

Does anyone know how to answer a 12 marker on locus of control?

I don't really think daily hassles will come up any higher than a 4 marker, because there isn't much to Delongis' research. Life changes would be very nice!

there's so much to write for it, so i think it can only come as a 12 marker and they sometimes can ask for both or one of them

I've received a letter from my teacher explaining that this exam may include a "Stress Inoculation Therapy"... Can anybody please enlighten me as to what this is?

[starfish232]

we can get a 12 marker or 8/10 marker on ethical issues in social psychology studies but I doubt AQA is going to do that before doing all the easier 12 markers first.

Just Freud I believe.

everyone asking about daily hassles/life changes: if you look at the jan 2012 paper, the majority of the questions in the stress but are based on that!!

Going to have a shower and go into hardcore revision mode, I cant walk into an exam knowing I haven't worked as hard as I could have.

Going to revise Cognitive/Behavioural Approaches to abnormality seems as they haven't come up before.

I am with you on that one. I need to revise of those two approaches, i have a really strong feeling that they will be asked. Right now Im going hardcore too! Keep going and takes breaks too

is that on obedience?

I have a question, when we have a 12 mark question asking us to outline & evaluate an approach to abnormality, do we go deeper into methods of treating those disorders or simply outline the main assumptions and then evaluate criticisms/supports?

Thanks.

Well you get 6 A01 points and 6 A02 points...so state 3 knowledge points about an approach and the therapies involved and explain them and then state 3 evaluation points eg strengths/weaknesses..that's what I do anyway

that's SIT - same as CBT for treating stress

- Meinchenbaum's 1985 = cognitive therapy aims to prepare (inoculate) an individual against stress

1) CONSEPTUALISATION PHASE =
- stress is a problem-to-be-solved
- break global stressors into specific components


2) SKILLS AQUISITION PHASE (AND REHAEARSAL):
- CLIENTS TAUGHT SKILLS, E.G. positive thinking, relaxation, time management and using social support systems

3) APPLICATION PHASE (AND FOLLOW THROUGH):
- apply new coping skils in different situations using imagination, modelling, role play, training others

- helps by teaching them to deal with stressors and acts as a long-lasting treatment
- doesn't result in any side effects unlike drug therapy

- doesn't always work for all patients
- can take long time to take effect, requires commitment & cost a lot
- doesn't offer an immediate result unlike drug therapy

RESEARCH EVIDENCE:
- MEICHENBAUM - 1977:
SIT helped clients deal with target fear and a second, non-treated phobia more than systemantic desensitisation did

- FONTANA ET ALL - 1999:
students had lower heart rate and anxiety levels than controls after 6 week stress inoculation programme

- we might get a 12 marker on this!!!!
