I have a bad feeling that a debate will come up :/ although I won't mind if it's reductionism vs holism cause I did a whole presentation on that. urgh it's really hard to guess!

I've literally just been focusing on yesterday's exam, so I haven't even looked at this. For part B, do we just need to know the assumptions and strengths & weaknesses of the approaches/perspectives?

Does anyone know which questions came up June 2013? I've got all the other ones from previous years so if anyone knows last years then I can work out what's not come up before etc. Although, as yesterdays exam proved for some people, trying to predict isn't necessarily a good idea!

Kinda, in section B they mainly ask you about approaches and perspectives but they might ask about debates as well ( like reliability or nature ). It's just like an advanced psychological investigations :smile:

Can't find it either, your teacher should have it if it hasn't been published on OCR for us to see... I'd read through the examiner report from June (which you can assess, I'm on it now) because it should give you some idea on what came up and sometimes if pupils don't do well on a subject that came up in the last exam they put it in again (to make sure the teachers are reading the reports and improving their teaching)

If it helps, I sat this exam last year, and in section A it was all about questionnaires, and section B was on nature/nature combined with the behaviourist perspective or case studies.

This is the thread from last year which may have some useful notes for you, if you want to take a look at it. Good Luck.

If a correlation was to come up do you have to use repeated measures design?

topics that haven't come up as a whole yet:
individual differences
psychodynamic
behaviourist
validity
observation
ethnocentrism
is psychology a science
determinism vs free-will
reductionism vs holism
usefulness of psychological research

however DO NOT rely on this, because some approaches have repeated - the cognitive and social approach.

and here's the june13 paper and mark scheme :smile:
