Could someone briefly explain Yochelson and Samenow for psychodymanic?
I only have Freud and I can't find decent notes on the study anywhere Thanks!

They used Freudian interviews to see if prisoners had different thinking patterns. It's a major criticism of their study because it turned out afterwards that most of the prisoners were lying in hope of getting a more lenient sentence if they showed they were more remorseful.

Apparently on the exam feedback they say you should do aim, procedure, results then link the conclusion to how it related to that approach

Does anyone know if strengths and weaknesses for cognitive would bebetter as
useful, free will, lacks validity as self report, reductionist
or
useful, scientific, reductionist and lacks ecological validity

[Lollyage]

Can someone please tell be the strengths and weaknesses of determinism/free will? It's the only one not covered in the booklet I have
Also, which studies would I use for this? Both AS and A2? I have no clue

[jessplease]

Candidates should have knowledge and experience of:
a range of techniques such as experiment, self-report,
questionnaire and correlation;

it doesnt actually say observation... are we expecting a non existant observation aha?

[zahra_xo]

i know this sounds pretty stupid, but how do you revise for this exam? :s

i can do section b, thats not a problem so much

but section a for the practical project, im thinking of getting model answers and seeing how the different in the way there written and making sure i do plenty of past papers so i know how to write a study for each technique, do you think that will be okay?

Also the methods that could be given is it just self report, correlation, observation, experiment and case study?

also i havent got a case study model answer can someone tell me how it would differ?

please help! i moved schools and i did AQA for as and now im doing a2 ocr :/

[hannahlw21]

thats so weird! no way! I want observation to come up for section B!

[ellasmith]

Can someone help me out with determinism and freewill studies strengths and weaknesses?

im on a gap year resitting and i dont have any notes! nor can i find ocr ones online!

id really appreciate it!

and also reductionism and holism ?

I'm pretty sure case study isn't required in section A, I havn't been taught it anyway.

For reductionism I have:
Strengths - Allows detail look at all components that affect behaviour.
Can be used to explain certain types of behaviours and disorders.
Open to testing.
Weaknesses- Over simplifies complex behaviour.
Breaks done complex phenomenon into simple explanations.
Doesn't take into consideration other factors affection experience.
I use Caspi, Bandura, Wilson & Daly, Piliavin and Milgram.
And Holism:
Strengths - Looks at everything that may impact behaviour.
Considers more than one cause.
Allows for detailed all round analysis.
Weaknesses - Does not allow for detailed study into one area.
Non-scientific.
Doesn't explain mental illness.
Over complicates behaviour that may have simple explanation.
Lots of data to anaylse.
And I use Thigpen + C and Reicher and Haslam.

Can someone please tell me what is likely to come up in the exam? Also what has already come up in previous exams?

Thank you sosososo much! I really appreciate it, do you have any holistic studies and their explanations? I know Farrington, Thigpen are holistic but i cant find information on holah about how the different factors concluded their behaviour?! xx

All the past papers are online. Go and check.

Just wanted to remind you guys of what was in the January exam as I know you can't get this on the OCR website..

Section A was a correlation.

Section B:
Option 1 - Social approach, and ethnocentrism within it.
Option 2 - Experimental method, can psychology be considered a science.

Hope this helps a bit

[ellasmith]

Does anyone also know 2 strengths and weaknesses for individual explanations of behaviour?

[ellasmith]

Also! im really sorry to be a pain

What are 2 non ethnocentric studies?

and one other ethnocentric study? i know milgram was ethnocentic! thanks so much to anyone who answers this xxxx
