    A waitress!!, Oh no!
    I put something about a librarian. What did people put for the multi store study, I found that the most difficult one to do. Can't remember what i put now something like about remembering a list. Very worried about unit 2 on Friday!

    anyone else taking that this year?

    There was a study about the librarian touching their hands, but i just made up one about waitress touching them and they got bigger tips. I think i mixed it up with them squatting. I found it alright other than that but some details of the studies i think i got wrong.

    A Librarian! I think that may be the right one! It was just a sort of after exam rumour that it was a waitress.
    Yeah I'm doing unit 2 on friday too! Havn't started revision cause I've got an exam today... starting tonight

    That might of been about eye contact, not sure. I mixed up the study about the prejudice and think i wrote about two different ones in one question. I thought the time was running out so panicked because i spent to long on the question, hopefully have not messed up to much.

    There was a study on touch about a librarian (Fisher, Rytting and Hesling), a study on gestures about a waitress (can't remember who that was), and a study on stereotypes about a librarian and a waitress (Cohen) so confusing!

    I did unit 2 as well today. Did you find any questions hard?
    I compleatly forgot about practical implications for social loafing. The rest was ok.

    With the ways to reduce aggression question, i talked about the biological explanation to reduce it, then realised i would struggle to evaluate it. I didn't have time to change it. 35 mins left! you must be able to write and think fast.

    ahh I was looking for this thread for ages the other week! I hated the application and implication one! and i thought there was too many marks for the explanation of reducing agreesion and evaluation cos in the text books they r only short paragraphs. :/ overall I found it okay though, better than unit 2! did u guys do that too? I had 50 minutes left on both papers though so i dont think i wrote enough. = /
