AQA Psychology A PYA5, June 08

Does anyone know what questions came up in the January 08 exam? I want to know if behavioural therapies came up.

For psychology i find the best way to revise is break all the info down into basic points, then arrange them on an A3 sheet using diff colours. It works well because each section is divided into bio then genetics, psychological then psychoanalysis, behaviourism etc. It's kind of like a spider diagram but i just use big square simple boxes with one topic e.g. behaviourism in it.

4
A) Explain what is meant by the term gender bias (5 marks)
B)'Bias in psychological research has distored our inderstanding of male and female behaviour'.
Discuss gender bias in Psychological theories and/or studies. (25 marks)

5
Discuss ethical issues involved in psychological investigations using human participants. Refer to at least three psychological studies in your answer.
(30 marks)

i reckon cultural bias will come up.. does any one have any model answer's
im definately going to fail!

Jan 08 it was Gender Bias and Ethical issues with Human Participants

For psychology i find the best way to revise is break all the info down into basic points, then arrange them on an A3 sheet using diff colours. It works well because each section is divided into bio then genetics, psychological then psychoanalysis, behaviourism etc. It's kind of like a spider diagram but i just use big square simple boxes with one topic e.g. behaviourism in it. Then blue tack them next to my bed in turns. It sounds simple but i find it really helpful for gettng it all clear and organised in my mind.
And don't just copy out all your notes really small into each box. Say for clincal characteristics of depression, just put emotional, motivational, somatic and cognitive, then force yourself to think of symptoms for each category. And for genetic causes just put genetics - Egeland - Amish.

I've got all high As so far so try it!

can you elaborate on this more pls, i mean if you just put cues like what your doing (emotional,motivational etc) how will that enable you to expand on it in the exam you cant give one word answeres lol. im guessing you use this after uve revised from you 'complete' notes...right..right?
