Re: Edexcel AS Psychology UNIT 2 29th May 2012Twin studies and adoption studies are part of methodology aswell as evaluating them. Other stuff in methodology are PET/MRI scans and animals in lab experiments such as the lesion studies. Some people may have different topics to learn depends what the teacher teaches. If you want the adoption and twin study notes i can PM them to you. x(Original post by FailedEverything)

Re: Edexcel AS Psychology UNIT 2 29th May 2012Key issues transgender,
Intersex - Born with unclear genitaliar, the doctor/parent decides which gender is most suited to the genitals, can be very unethical as the child has no consent or is to young to be informed about whats going on... also there was a study conducted that 13 males were born intersex which was psychologically harmful
Gender Dyspohoria, feeling trapped in the wrong gender, can be psychologically harmfull as the person is confused about which gender to belong in, then at a certain age decieds which gender is most apropriate towards how they feel, this can be done by surgery, and injecting either testostrone or oestrogeon.. no real ethical issues and concerns however as the person is 100% physically healthy surgery is a risk
Heomaphordiates, born with both genitalia can be very underconforting and can lead to psychological harm, as the person or parents of the child would not know how to actually treat them,
the factors, are mainly age.. at a certain age the person can choose which gender they belong to.. not just regarding their parents or doctors decision if to young
Social - Counsilling Biological - surgery
sorry about late reply

Re: Edexcel AS Psychology UNIT 2 29th May 2012we need to learn 3 different books
Psychodynamic
Biological
Learning
Each book contains 2 main case studies which can be up to 12 marks in the exam
For Psychodyanmic - Little Hans and Dibs
For Biological - Doctor J money and Gottessmans and Sheilds
For Learning - Watson and Reiner and Bandaura,Ross and Ross
for all 3 there are evaluations of gender development
we need to know methodology e.g brain scanning: MRI scaning/Pet scanning, animal studys,adoption/twin studys,psycoanalysis etc... its not that hard thinking about it, if you need any questions feel free to ask and il be happy to reply and answer

Explain/outline the aim/procedure/findings/conclusion of Little Hans's study of his phobia of horses
Sample of 57 twins where one was diagnosed with schizophrenia were chosen. Used same sex twin. Each twin assessed to see if they were MZ or DZ twins. 24 pairs of MZ and 33 pairs of DZ twins.
MZ twins- 42% of co-twin of schizophrenic diagnosed as schizophrenic. 37% diagnosed with different form of psychiatric abnormality. 21% normal
DZ twin- 9% co twin diagnosed as schizophrenic. 36% diagnosed with psychiatric abnormality. 55% normal
Gottessman had a large sample size- had used 57 twins whereas Money had one set of twins.
Both had same sex twins ( Money had same sex twins originally)
High ecological validity as both researchers did not control the schizophrenia or circumcision
5 year old boy taken to freud suffering from phobia of horses. Freud saw hans once or twice. Information came mostly through hans father.
At age 3, hans developed interest in his own penis. Age 5 mother threatened to cut it off if he did not stop playing with it. Developed fear a white horse would bite him. Hans fathee related to freud that this was probably related to horses large penis. Father objected him into getting into parents bed in the morning. Hans feared going out of the house incase he encounted a horse. Fear became limited to horses with black harness noses, hans father interpreted this as his black moustache. Hans had two fantasises: he had several imaginery children, asked who the mother was, said why mummy and you’re granddad. Also imagined a plumber fitting him with a bigger penis.
Freud saw phobias as expression of Oedipus
