You could talk about Selye's research on rats for the effects of stress.

Hello, I'm also taking psychology tomorrow :s-smilie:

Got 85% in my prelim, so i'm hoping I will do okay. Even though i've seem to forgotten everything.

Just wondering whether anyone doing conformity, is revising resisting social pressure? It came up last year and i doubt it will come up again... any ideas?

Thank you :smile:

I'm going over Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning and I am really really stuck. The 3rd level is "In the post-conventional level, individuals reason that some aspects of morality, such as regard for life and human welfare, should be upheld irrespective of convention or normative obligation." Um yeah, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? I do it on the internet so I can't go and ask any of the teachers tomorrow before the exam.

Hello, I'm doing conformity and obedience too and I think we should have a brief look over it just in case but it is very unlikely to come up. I got 85% in my prelim too but I have forgotten a lot as well and I am having trouble remembering all the years!

Hey, I've tried to have a quick look over it but i really don't understand it all. think my brain is near it's capacity full of psychology :P

Yay! Well done for getting 85% as well. :smile:

I know the years are terrible to remember, I know what most of research involves but i can never remember who did it and when!? think if i can't remember one in the exam i'm just going to guess and put 1974 as most of them seem to be in that year.

Also what is the topic you struggle on most?

I'm not worried about years, but resisting social pressure I'm going with Kohlberg and variation 17 of Milgram. If it's a question on WHY we obey/conform I will squeal like a little girl - best question ever!

Made a reminder list for myself tomorrow - 27 god damn studies I have.

Looking over the papers in the past it is very hard to judge, I do have a hunch daycare and forgetting will rear their ugly heads.

Right this is a pretty stupid question but what exactly do you say when describing the multi-store model of memory? Thank You :smile:

Yeah, I am the same. The topic I struggle with the most I think would be atypical behaviour. I find it quite easy to get things mixed up between the different approaches and therapies, especially with the advantages and disadvantages of each! I am most confident with obedience and conformity. I am never going to remember all the years so I will just have to try to memorise the main ones and make it up if I forget for the others!

Just go through the different stages and include a digram. Basically about how information constantly comes through into the sensory memory from the senses and if attention is placed upon it then it moves into the stm and then if rehearsed it moves into the ltm or it is forgotten.

Talk about what Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968) showed. Then include the advantages and disadvantages of the model and then supporting studies such as evidence that there is three definite stores shown by baddeley in with how the stm relies on acoustic coding (1986) and the ltm relies on semantic (1966).

Also you can talk about how Atkinson and Shriffin believed memories where stored in the ltm through rehearsal but Craik and Lockhart (1972) said it was processing rather than rehearsal - it's what you do with the information that leads to storage.

Hope this helps :smile:

see if there was a question on why we conform is that stuff like gender, group cohesiveness normative influecne(compliance) imformational influence. Asch showed that people conformed because they didint want to go against the majority? that sort of stuff?

Has anyone looked at DSM IV, I think its to do with how we diagnose depression but I actually have no clue, think it came up in the 2007 paper on atypical behaviour :s-smilie:

"Describe the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and assess its
reliability and validity." Just saw this now, I have never done this in class :s-smilie:

I don't think that's in the new arrangements. Remember the course changed recently. I can't remember if it was last year or the year before.
