    Do we really need to know how many participants were in each study? -_- I emailed my teacher an answer and she said to improve it I should write how many participants. I don't know about anyone else, but remembering the number of participants and percentages etc for 54 studies is nigh on impossible.
    sometimes you dont need to but sometimes you do lolx

    Attachment 153683 can someone give me some feedback
    thanks x
    Apart from tidying up your English and spelling, that looks very good. You know, less commas and more sentences etc. Everything's very well explained though.

    Also, Eberhardt is a woman. So 'he' should be 'she'. Lol but I'm sure they wouldn't care when they mark it XD

    i'm having trouble with more than 1 paragraph for evaluation of reliability
    what types of reliability can i use other than inter rater reliability?
    example: "evaluate the reliability of research into interviewing witnesses"

    also any idea about "appropriateness" questions? is it asking about usefullness/practical applications or validity or what? :confused:

    For reliability the main factors you can look at are control, sample bias, causal relationship, also as validity tends to go in hand with reliability you could talk about Eco validity as if you were to repeat under realistic settings may get diff results

    Some people have missed out topics, like as a college we don't do After a Guilty Verdict and we also know explanations/treatments for only one dysfunctional behaviour (phobias).

    Hi everyone - glad to see it's not just me that despises this exam! I'm a little confused about the layout of the whole exam - it's 100 marks right? How is this made up? I know section A is a 10 marker where you have to describe one particular study but that's it Any help?

    Thanks!

    4 exam questions (2 health 2 forensic depending on what sections youre doing)
    within each question there is a section a worth 10 marks and a section b worth 15 marks

    section a is describe, section b is evaluate
