Last year it was group cohesion, motivation and aggression. :smile:

I'm feeling okay-ish, I've revised a lot (some sections more than others) but if arousal comes up I'll be screaming inside because it's easy. Just hoping the part b's aren't too difficult!

Brilliant thank you! Gutted aggression was recent, probably means it won't come up again and I don't mind that section!
I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine, but must admit the amount we have to revise in general is ridiculous :/
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing for part b... the way they word it is just confusing...

considering that dysfunctional behaviour and disorders both looks at explanations and treatments following the behavioural, biological and cognitive approaches, do you think it's acceptable to use the same studies for all both?

I think many people just use same studies like i think im just gonna use all disorder (depression) studies as I like most of them but I love gottesman and shields as there is so much too talk about so thts the only one i will use for dysfunctional behaviour biological explanation.

yeah i'm also doing depression and I prefer the gottesman and shields explanation, so I will use that for the biologial explanation in dysfunctional and then the rest of the disorder studies I will use for dysfunctional. Thank you! :smile:

Do any of the 'interviewing a suspect' studies support the situational explanation?

Gudjohnsson's supports both individual and situational? Because they found that FC was highly suggestible surely that's individual or it could be argued that way.

Mann is situational and then interrogation is Inbau's 9 step thing which I think is situational too but Gudjohnsson's is quite ambiguous tbh.

false confession gudjohnsson on 'FC' is situational explanation as he gave in to the pressure of interrgation which was his situation and they found that his intelligence or health was just fine and average.

so if I said a study was situational (which is good as it shwos the effects of others) to counter argue it I could mention ethics??

Do you think it's a safe bet not to bother learning the studies that came up last year? I'm starting to feel like I can't learn all 72 so if I don't need to learn the 8 from last year it would make me feel so much better!

I'd say pay less attention to them but get the general gist of methods and results, although they came up as section A's you may still have to talk about them in a section B!

Is anyone else struggling with remembering which study goes with the biological explanations and which is for the biological treatments? This exam is so hard haha! I really hope turning to crime comes up for forensic and they don't take that away, even better if it came up twice!

You could just counter with individual + how that links to like application or usefulness. E.g. If you say situational is good because blah blah, then your counter could be it ignores individual factors (then go on to explain it). :smile:
