Do we need to learn research methods for this exam? ( obviously we need to know about the methods used in bio/psych/cog/behav approach but like im talking general. ive only come accross one exam paper where it was like this girl had did and interview and she was found to be type B but when doing the questionnaire she was Type A. something like that scared for unit 2

You do need to know research methods for all psychology exams unfortunately
Pretty good, got in 3 main studies (Grossmann, Takahashi and Kroonenberg's meta analysis) and evaluative AO2 points like: - culture bias - ethics (eg Takahashi's study had to be terminated cos the infants were too distressed) - threw in a defence for the previous point by bringing up Ainsworth but I don't think I'll get marks for that...ah well, 10/12 is decent c:
Yourself?

Ah that's good! Basically the 3 studies I would have used 10 is great, so I hope you've managed to get it
Didn't retake it big mistake as I was so ready for cultural variations in Jan and I only needed one mark to bump up this B, just need unit 2 to be exactly like January I guess
o gawd, more work for me then. How's revision going for you?
haha, they're not too bad once you understamd them I've actually been neglecting psychology since it's my last exam, but I've started and it's alright I guess, how about you?

Samee, and ive like forgotten quite a bit but revision is going okay could be better, bit worried about the abnormality section. Kinda happy I have 13 days and study leave to turn things around.

I'm literally exactly the same as you in that sense, just hoping there's not a lot of stress questions or abnormality
for A01: The four main techniques by Geiselman et al. A02: Use Geiselman, there's also research conducted by Fisher et al who found 47% more useful information from witnesses to real crimes compared to when they had been using standard interview techniques. Bekerian & Dennet (1993) reviewed 27 studies into the effectiveness of the cognitive interview schedule and found that the cognitive interview provided more accurate information than other interview techniques (see: http://www.psychteacher.co.uk/memory/cognitive-interview.html) plus there was another one about police saying why they would use standard interview technique instead of cognitive interview (which is in the cat book - student companion)
i said the same thing BUT i said Foster Instead of Fisher wtf, arghh

Don't worry about it, you only wrote the name down wrong, as long as you wrote correct findings and gave good points you can still get marks. You didn't have to write the name anyway you could have just wrote 'research suggests..' How did you find rest of the paper? You lot had a nice 12 and an 8 marker
Social I think - its horrible right?!! I dunno whether it specifically means insights from Aschs and Milgrams studies and locus of control or gender, background characteristics and individual diffs in locus of control? page 174-175 in textbook
Could anyone tell me any limitations of the biological approach in simple terms please? Thanks!!
Very simplistic/reductionist Biological treatments aren't effective for all people Leads to labelling and stigatising of the patient Relies on self report - very objective

We may have a different textbook, that bit is physiological methods of stress management for me] Oh I kind of get it now, individual differences as in age, gender, so yeah those sorts of things. There have been a few research. I know Twenge et al found youth in America are believeing more and more in external force, which gives them external LOC, more likely to conform.. Its a really odd question though. Would you get away with using Asch, as he's sample were all males?
Heyy, can any explain to me the limitations of Freud's Psychodynamic approach to abnormality?
I understand that the concepts of id, ego and super ego are hard to define and research because actions motivated by them operate on an unconscious level. Also the theory is sexually unbalanced (less developed for women) However I don't understand How it is difficult to prove or disapprove? I'm referring to the Psychology book by Cardwell and Flanagan with the cat coco standing on some books (2nd edition)

EDIT: it is difficult to prove because:
'actions motivated by them operate primarily at unconcious level, so there is no way to know for certain that they are occuring. As a result, psychodynamic explanations have received limited empirical support and psychodynamic theorists have had to rely on evidence from case studies.'
Then you could go on talking about the limitations of case studies.
