no no we've done issues and debates, schizophrenia and forensic we just still have relationships left haha (also our school picks the options)

my general way of revising is I watch a video on a particular section (like just depression in psychopathology), then make a quizlet of that information and do the quizlet. then later on answer questions on it. little and often is the key thing I think, and its working so far!!

good luck to you too!! :biggrin:

cool! i'll definitely try that for my revision too :smile:

thank you

Hey.
For the A03 for Milgram's study, there is a point about lacking ecological validity. However, I'm using a worksheet from tutor2u (using the burger method) and it says that an example of this is how one of Milgram's research assistants divided participants into 'doubters' and 'believers' and found that the believers were more likely to disobey the experirmenter and give a low intensity shock. Can someone please explain this? I don't get how this means that there is low ecological validity? I thought it would mean that there are high demand characteristics?

for me, i’ve found that learning two key studies for each essay plan to be good. that way your evaluation can purely be issues and debates with some evaluation of those studies (like internal/external validity)

in the base study, there is lack of ecological validity due to it being in the lab thus unnatural behaviour, not cus of whatever tutor2u wrote..
