Psychology AQA A PSYA3 11th June 2012!

Ah thanks!
What do you mean by synpotic issues? Ah yeah those are good points, thanks for the feedback!

Yeah me either as they've already asked for 'one psychological theory of aggression' - but I'm hoping they ask for 'theories' plural, so yeah i'd talk about deindividuation too, would I still be able to access top marks if I wrote more about SLT? Or would I have to write equal amounts for both theories?

we've been told split it 4 +8, 4 +8 for 2, but then i've done essays heavily on SLT then one paragraph ao1 deindividuation, then a study and criticisms as a second paragraph for Ao2 and still got high marks on it, so yeah aslong as you include both, i don't think it matters if it's top heavy

Hello!
I was just going through my notes and I came across bio model of aggression (Hormones/Neurotransmitters/Genes) I was wondering, because I dont know genes as much, could they ask just about genes and not about the whole bio model?

Synoptic issues are kind of like IDAs. I've been taught that they're aspects such as laboratory environments (which you included), but yeah just IDA's really so cultural bias, gender bias etc.

Actually that's wrong.

Evol theorists predict that babies sleeping for 16 hours takes pressure off the parents.

The 50% REM sleep thing is due to babies needing more brain development, which is what usually occurs in REM.

its very scientific, i love it. unlike rubbish evo theories!

I think so too! or GST - but i hope its not one w/ Kohlberg, or that would suck.

Do you know if they can ask a question about dysphoria on its own?

Well I've done like functionalism
Marxism and feminism and got other stuff to learn too and memorising my psychology notes is taking forever coz I started memorising aggression and just finished social learning theory still gta memorise the whole of the other two topics plus finish this eughhhhhh the joys of psycjilogy

thanks. For people to contrast, my psychology teachs have predicted:
sleep: restoration explanation of sleep, sleep disorders
relationships: sexual selection
eating: biological explanation of eating disorder

however i have also made notes on parental investment,cultures on relationships, food preferences and attitudes to food

Fml, I'm going to have less than two days to revise for sociology. I hate psychology!

food preferences came up last June and attitudes came up the year before, then June 2012 was explanations for one eating disorder, failure/success was 2010 aswell. i have no idea what to think about it.

Why would they ask you a 24 marker on a Specific Social psychological theory??? They don't do that. Or would they? I don't think so

Did the Peter Tripp case study have different findings to Randy Gardner?
