Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!daily hassles: holmes and rahe: SRRS, Rahe navy personnel study, Sarosen Life event scale(Original post by Tilly3475)
Im really hoping that cognitive approach is the 12 marker!
I would not know how to outline and evaluate anything to do with daily hassels or workplace stress...
workplace = marmot, karasek
outline and evaluate is exactly the same question regardless if its for cognitive approach, conformity, stress or whatever answer it in the same way just change the content, you cant bank on one thing to come up, best bet is to learn as much and close to everything as possible, do practice essays make your weak sections your strongest -
Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!Homes and Rahe, The SRRS, the Rahe navy personnel study and the Sarosen life event scale are all part of Life Events This is different from Workplace stressors so be sure not to confuse them(Original post by youngzwavey)

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!When writing an essay on obedience to authority is milgrams variations AO1 or AO2?(Original post by Deyesy)
Yeah. My A02 is the strength and weaknesses of each treatment I'm revising... -
Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!I would have thought A02 technically since you're evaluating how changing things like the venue and proximity to the learner changed the rates of obedience?(Original post by Saif95)

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!
Whats the best way to revise for psychology? Everyone seems to be failing, and by failing I mean getting U's. I got a solid C in the mock but I got an E in the jan exam which 49% of my year failed...it seems to be a subject that so many people struggle with. Its the exam technique that gets me! Any tips?

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!I managed to get an A in January, its really not all that hard. All you can do is memorise the studies inside out, and always elaborate and add an example at the end of every question!(Original post by 00collins)

Re: Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!
for people struggling to revise the only real way is to read the textbook or revision book or whatever repeatedly, psya1 memory stuff
read over the studies use flash cards or whatever if you need to but make sure you're going over it regularly eventually you'll find you know it and once someone says a name you'll remember the study.
do practice papers and use the textbook if you NEED to, if not mark it find the weak areas and revise those again. Then do another practice paper without help. Mark it and highlight the weak areas then revise those. do that till you've done all the practice papers. then make a list of any remaining weak areas and read over them, do the practice questions at the end of that bit of the book etc
.
i dont really enjoy stress that much so any help will make me a lot happier thans !
