Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 revision thread for 2014

In institutional aggression, would it be bad to just talk about aggression in prisons?
or do we need to bring in terrorism or security forces as well?

I ask this as the importation and deprivation models both focus on prison stuff (as does that devshi fellow), but the books bring up other examples where institutional aggression occurs, such as in hazing or terrorism. So confused by the lack of consistency between books.

Prison is fine. Prison violence is just more commonly used as its easier. You could probably apply the two models to different scenarios though.

I dont think i ever mentioned brain structure for aggression (that much in detail anyways). For neural/hormonal, i just used Serotinin + Cortisol/Testosterone

dope.

I've been so lonely all day. Everyone's been in school or something

ah sorry to butt in! you got the workpack thing from that psychology guy? raj devshi or something? he linked it on here a while ago , but it's super useful - all the past papers in one workbook.

also what's there to do? you're scaring me! the only thing i find is that statistical tests are hard and i hate the 10 markers at the end but by doing past papers it helps to get used to the questions , and quite a lot of the time you learn things which you can use in the next paper etc. what do you think?

if possible, could u direct me to the raj devshi workbook thing please, thank you !

How much would you lot estimate for 90 ums in unit 4

Teacher training day.

I really wanted to go in. I've been getting distracted by YouTube videos titled 'render unto Obama' all day. No one should have this much free time

Haha i agree. This weekend by revision was very fragmented, with me deciding hmmmm i read this essay twice, lets clash of clans.... 20 minutes later im still on it >.<

Nothing is sticking in my head.... its worrying

For research methods do we need to know anything about the inferential statistics other than when they're used? (differences/relationship, ordinal/nominal and design used) and that Spearman's rho and Chi-squared are used when observed exceeds critical value.

Do we need to know anything else? Such as how to calculate it or anything? Thank you.
