Completely freaking out for this exam, I can't remember anything and I can't find my example essays :| I put them in a safe place earlier so I didn't cheat when revising, which has proved too safe to find them again, oh god I am going to fail.
Also, where it says (4+8) marks, what the hell are we meant to put for that?! Like, how do we write an answer for marks written like that?

For sleep it was endogenous pacemakers of Infradian rhythms and for relationships it was formation. :smile:
How likely do you think that dissolution will come up?

For Relationships: sexual selection
what would we comment on IDA wise?
like what would we say for it in support of the nature/nurture debate, determinism and reductionism ect?


in Buss study gender differences are exaggerated (alpha bias), which challenges the reliability of his evidence

as evo explanation fails to explain homosexual relationships, it simply ignores emotion involved in relationships as well as free will (to choose your own sexuality), which is deterministic.

evo arguments only concentrate on the idea that successful behaviours ensure the survival of the offspring and the genes so it's reductionist
Anyone here doing a combination of these 3 topics;
Relationships
Gender
Aggresion

I sware it feels like i'm the only one doing this combo, also which would you say is the hardest?
what came up in eating aggression and gender in january?

and to the guy above, i'd say that out of the two i do (gender and aggression) gender is the hardest. androgyny is a bit of a bitch

ahhh starting to freak out, completely unable to concentrate today!!

im thinking for eating behaviour: evolutionary explanations for food preferences and maybee something to do with eating disorders will come up
aggression: neural/hormonal mechanism or group displays of aggression
relationships: maintanence/breakdown, sexual selection or early experiences

what do you guys reckon? has anyone got a essay plan i could have a look at for the neural/hormonal mechanisms or group displays for aggression?

ahhh REALLLLLY FREAKING OUT NOWWWWWW!!

12 AO2 marks

Yes you do get 9 marks for A01 and you get 16 marks for A02/3. However i'm not sure whether A03 is only worth 4 marks as my teacher puts a great emphasis on making A03 points (synoptic links) so I presume it's worth more than that i think it's more like 6 marks roughly and is of equal importance to A02.
