same here, that's why i think it's unlikely to come up as 25 marks. you must be using the same book as me and it's approved by AQA so they can't do a massive question on it when it the books there's only one model. unless, i was thinking, to change about economic theories of maintnance to explain what can be the reason of breakdown (inequity, etc)

hmmm that actually makes more sense........ right i think its back to relationships revision....i really dont know how im going to pass this exam! theres so much to memorise!!
thank you :smile:

I didn't sleep last night so I thought I'd stay in bed a bit longer... Now I have less than two hours before I have to leave. Aaargh.

Good luck, everyone :smile:

For those who asked about cognitive development, I can't say fo sho but I'm hoping something like Kohlberg, Eisenberg, or mirror neurons might come up, because I don't think they've come up so far.
But, y'know, AQA are a bunch of bastards and might spring something about practical applications of the theories, I dunno.

i am actually so ****ed.

You're not alone, don't worry. I've had about eight hours sleep over the last two days. I'm so tired it feels like my face is peeling off.

If gender constancy theory comes up for gender I'll actually cry. The same applies to instituational aggression.

Someone earlier thought it might be gender dysphoria or androgeny, or cultural influences.

Evolutionary or androgyny/gender dysphoria is my guess.

Maybe cross cultural, but I'd be very surprised.

I actually confident about this exam, AS LONG as they give me the questions that I've prepared... Done 1 essay on bio rhythms, 2 on sleep, 3 on relationships and 2 big ones on aggression. I hope that's enough.

Gender consistency, you mean? The one with Kohlberg? I doubt it, that was the question in January (a 25 mark essay on it :cry:

)

gender is the only one i'm not freaking out about. hope its general if its dysphoria. they wouldnt specificall ask psychological explanations of dysphoria would they?

Yeah that!

Oh thank God! I'm praying for evolutionary, but I've a feeling it's cross cultural.

I don't think so, there's not enough material.

My guess is they'd ask you to outline and evaluate explanations which would be about 15 marks in total.

No you really dont understand, I am ****ed. As in I only began opening my books on monday and before that I hadnt even glanced at this **** since I took the exam a year and a half a go. Even then my revision is ****, I can only remember some stuff about the SCN and sleep stages. I dont even know why I retook this exam, I need 96% in order to get an A overall. dahh i could have spent this week working or something constructive but instead I decide to retake this ****ty exam and lock myself away in my room for a week!
