Yes you could use psychology as a science for any biological explanation.

In some cases it can support psychological explanations, but in the majority of cases, such as the learning theory, there is nothing scientific about saying behaviours are learnt. No objective methods have been used to gather the research apart from things like observation. Which aren't scientific.

I'm not sure whether my explaining is clear - sorry :smile:

No it's ok I understand :smile: That's quite a good point you made about the behavioural approach, and so going back to the restraint theory, how would I explain why psychology's not a science

She can 'shop' around, as it were, and look for the best possible genes and pass them onto her offspring. Survival of the fittest, she wants her offspring to have the best possible genes which enables for a greater chance of survival, so she may choose from a range of men.

Ah, I didn't realise it was so simple... I should have known considering it's the Evolutionary Theory! Thanks! :tongue:

Hiiii,
Im doing Aggression, cognition and intelligence!
I've started essay plans/essays for aggression but will finish the others next week.
Are there any A-grade students that want to swop essays/plans and share advise on how to get the best mark? :smile:

This exam seems huge but the grade boundaries look to have been pretty low like 40/75 for a B (i think). So if you nailed two topics can't see much going wrong tbh
hey guys sorry if this is somewhat unrelated
i'm doing relationships, eating behaviour and bio rhythms for unit 3 and I'm really struggling to learn everything..I have made notes, gone through my notes, made mind maps etc but I don't feel confident at all. What do you guys do to learn your psych?!

ANY PREDICTIONS FOR GENDER?

i'm thinking on the lines of:
* evolutionary explanations
* Biosocial
* roles of genes and hormones

Hey, just wondering, do you guys think 11 days of doing nothing but psychology revision is enough time to revise for this ? i have all the notes written out, just panicking ALOT!


Well this exam on january.
I revised 3 days before the exam, of what i 'thought' was going to come up.
only 1 out of the 3 questions on the exam came up that i revised..
so i answered 1 question....and answered half the second questions and left the last one cos i had NO IDEA wat to write...

and i got a C.

which shows the one question i did answer was like an A-quality..

u got 11 days..sooo u CAN get A :biggrin:

plus i had to LEARN my material..not revise..i learn everything from beginning, cos i didnt know it before..

so i used to do like 3 essays per day...

Well hopefully. Cos if I have it on my phone, then atleast I won't need to go on the laptop, and go on uncessary websites at the same time..

I learn better by doing hand-work. But gosh, do i hate it! :tongue:
