I think the only part of this exam is bugging is research methods -_-, only for the reason you have to relate it to the actual topic. *Info not going in*

Type B personality is believed to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease because they're less sensitive to stressors.

Lazarus argued that research into workplace stress misses the point of individual differences for e.g. job ambiguity and work over load may be perceived as stressful by one person and not another :smile:

Also, the changing environment in the workplace such as virtual offices and working from home mean that the current knowledge on workplace stress is out of date :smile:

Type C (not on the specification) is prone to stress however does not to be want to seen that way because doesn't want to be a bother, so bottles up all the stress inside and is prone to cancer.
Type B is ACTUALLY relaxed, patient and easy-going rather than appearing to be that way.

I reckon it will be something on stress for sure, although I hope and pray something on abnormality comes up.

*fingers crossed*

Cognitive approach - never appeared, not even as a "describe key features".

I think that a 12 mark question on Milgram's obedience to authority may come up. It has came up before I think. Would be a great question.

Who the **** are nemeth and mackie? I was taught to do the 4 conditions required for social change, the Suffragettes and Kruglanski.

Does anyone know what we'd do for 'outline and evaluate explanations for obedience' I know for legitimate authority we'd talk about bickman and obviously milgram and how milgram raised the volts by 15 each time for gradual commitment but I dunno I don't feel as though I'd have enough to write like what evaluative points do we write?!
