For institutional aggression do we need to know Prisons + Hazing + Genocide?

Well, Depends what you where taught, there are many things you could include
we did: ( we only did prisions)
Situational model ( the aggression in prisions is from the convicts, who where aggressive before hand)
Deprivational model ( the prsion causes the depression)
deindividuation (alternative / IDA approach)
Social influence (alternative / IDA)

I only know prisons in detail. I'm wondering if I should lean either of the other two types of institutional aggression. I'm presuming you don't have too since your college didn't bother at all.

Ah, no you don't have to, i got 23/25 just by talking about prisons once (but it was handwritten so i cant post it up soz)

Hey guys, doing both this exam AND PSYA4 after getting a shocking E in January, despite two A's in PSYA1 and PSYA2!!

I'm finding it SO difficult to try and remember, basically, 6 moduals works of AO1'S, AO2'S AND AO3'S, especially the studies!!

Does anyone have any helpful hints they could share with me?

Btw I'm doing Addiction, Depression and RM in PSYA4
and Cognitive Development, Eating Behaviour and Aggression in PSYA3...

Final quesiton, for the likes of Aggression, the Neural and Hormonal explanation, do we have to learn BOTH or just one??

BIG HELP GUYS, thank you!

It wont specify ONLY neural or ONLY hormonal, so you dont have to learn both.
Neural - Serotonin
hormonal - Testorstoron
- find a bunch of studies for/against each one, and you can get 25/25 for that, if you get ao1 from describing studies and ao2 from evaluating their methodology

So learn studies FOR Serotonin and then say however TESTOSTERONE, like use each one to refute the other?

yeah, i split it up as:
Arguments For testosterone
arguments against it
arguments for serotonin
arguments against it


make sure 1 or 2 of your studies are in alot of detail so you can evaluate them well
