For the twelve mark I outlined and evaluated Holmes and Rahe, evaluated and criticised with some DeLongis research (hope that's right as I only learnt it yesterday) and then outline Bouteyre and managed one evaluation point for that (I was spending way too much time on it). Overall though I'm very happy with it, some questions were beautiful, e.g. the minority influence one and psychoanalysis

On the 8 marker about resisting pressures to conform, did you have to evaluate it?

It said to discuss, so I would imagine you outline the ways in which people resist pressure to conform and then as evaluation you'd back it up with research, like variations of Asch's study.

Overall I was pretty pleased with that exam.

Ah okay, and that question about the bar chart; did you have to use all four pieces of data (four bars)? Or just the after treatment data (two bars)?

Lots of people asked for more paper! I found myself using the extra space on most questions but no need for extra paper. What about everyone else because on the examiner reports it says u can get full marks on the allocated lines

I evaluated it by adding research to support each concept ie locus of control - Blass and role of allies - Allen + Levine

Basically screw that exam. I did pretty well on the most the questions but the 12 mark, 8 mark and 8 mark I completely screwed up on. If they had asked almost anything else for the 12 mark, 8 mark and 8 mark I could of probably answered it. That was bull.
