Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsI'm a little mad. Bennet-Levy's findings and conclusions was the only one I never revised and it came up -.- .. 1/10 and it came up for god sake!(Original post by Sesshomaru24U)

Which has probably ruined my chances of getting an A in As Psychology, although I've definitely done enough for a B. -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsI'm thinking the same, but I think I got a B -.-(Original post by Miracle Day)

I'm really annoyed, because I predicted that either Langer & Rodin or Bennett-Levy would come up, but I revised Langer and Rodin first since they have much more info to remember and forget Bennett-Levy.
I think I'm just gonna re-take PY1 and push that up to a high A, PY2 and also push that up to an A or high A and get a high A on PY3, so if I get a B on PY4 it's still an A overall. -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsThat will be hard. For me I didn't know what the covert sampling or the other is, i knew nothing for BL -_-(Original post by Sesshomaru24U)

What did you write for relyability? -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsYou couldn't have did as bad as me for Bennet-Levy.(Original post by Sesshomaru24U)

I litterally wrote things like "The Spiders and the Rats were ones which people mostly feared" "Bennet-Levy said it's because they pose a threat for example poisonous spiders and rats carry diseases" "And so fear is inherrited"
Do you think I'll get any marks for this? How many? Be honest. -

I would say (and note that I mark really harshly so if I don't get my hopes up xD) 4 from what you said. However, did you include findings & conclusions?
Like: Rats were perceived as most dangerous etc. there was correlations between the 4 perceptual characteristics.
Than for conclusions, how it supports biological preparedness and the 2 theories put forward by Hinde (1974) discrepancy theory and Schneirla (1966) aversion configuration stimulus. <--- where the **** was this guy in the exam

Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsHonestly though, I think you'll either get a C or a B. But I'm retaking it in January unless it becomes an A magically. I'll suppose you'll do the same because you want an A to I believe(Original post by Miracle Day)

And, well that's something. For Milgram, I put Hoffling, Sheridan and King, Milgram, Burger and the nuremburg trials which should be 12 marks.
For Aims and Context, I put Stotland and Blumenthal, Seligman and Adler and all the aims so I should have 12 marks for that.
For procedures I'm pretty sure I put everything possible so 12/12
For the evaluation i've no idea
Did you do question 1 or 2 for C? If you did 1 what did u put for reliability? -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsOh no I definitely know I'll get a B(Original post by Sesshomaru24U)

I need 59/90 for A overall, based on Januarys boundaries which were one of the highest they've been. I estimate I'll get 66/90, in order 12/12/0/10/10/12/10
And I under marked myself on Section C massively there. -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methodsYeah, I probably got a C. Seeing how everyone found this paper easy it's crushing my hopes.(Original post by Miracle Day)

Section C I struggled. I don't think I put anything for reliability I was going to put test-retest or split-half method, but I wasn't sure how come up with an issue for reliability. -
Re: WJEC - PY2 - Case Studies and Research methods
for Bennet-levy and Marteau you need to mention:
FINDINGS
rats were feared the most with a mean of 2.06
rats were less approachable with a mean of 3.90
participants during the informal interview said that they feared rats due to its features and the potential disease it may carry.
therefore, this shows that the note which was in place to claim that these animals are harmless has failed as harmless animals such as rats were highest commonly feared and less approachable.
there was no major gender difference regarding the findings, however, men rated themselves as less fearful than women. yet when the animals were put in order, both men and women feared the same animals with a correlation co-efficient of 0.96
the finding was then put into a matrix correlation which will allow the researchers to find the a correlation co-efficient either being positive or negative. when sudden movement and nearness were correlated to find a relationship, there was no significant relationship, however, when ugliness as a variable was removed, there was a positive correlation of 0.61.
CONCLUSION:
Bennet levy and Marteau concluded that there are two mechanism played a major role in provoking fear and that is the descrepency principle and the aversive stimulus configuration.
and there are other stuff to put in.
