AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

You could either explain why people resist the pressures to conform, which include internal locus of control (talk about Oliner and Oliners study). Social support of allies, outlining Aschs variation of his original study and reactance, outlining bushman and stack.

Or you could explain resisting the pressure to obey and all the studies involved.
You dont have to talk about both explanations

I did the exam last year, and thought I aced it out of the park but got a B. Here is my advice if you want to learn from my mistakes(hopefully you guys won't need it ), make sure you handwriting is neat and you have sufficient amount for the 12 marker. Also know meanings, all research methods properly like graphs and all that other crap .

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD luck!

whats the ao2 for these? is it just evaluations of the studies described in ao1?

My handwriting isn't terrible but it can get a bit messy when I rush.... Why do you say this is important? I mean, obviously if they can't understand what you've written then that's not good but they don't mark you down for bad writing or anything, do they?
I have a problem with time management in exams

Good luck this time around

odds on the 12 marker being in the abnormality section?

it best not be thats for sure! going to pray that it isn't tonight a haha

I know you're asking somebody else but I was told that the people who mark the papers only have a set amount of time per paper and if they have to spend time attempting to read the handwriting they will not have enough time to mark the rest of the paper. I know this from a fellow student in my english class but he also said it applies for other subjects too. Also too much writing may be seen as just a load of rambling on, hence why teachers say stick to the question and stick to the point you're making, so the marker might just think that theres too much ramble not enough detail and clear points.

normative and informational influence,how is it different t compliance and internalisation

Is there a unofficial mark scheme for the psych 1 paper some one please reply

Would this get six marks for outline the biological approach.

The biological approach believes that abnormality is the result of physical causes. The approach makes four key assumptions. The first one is brain damage. The functioning of the brain when damage or the structure when damage can result in abnormality and disorders. The next part is neurotransmitters. These are what carry signals between different brain cells. To much or to little neurotransmitters can result in develeping psychological disorders. For example to much dopamine leads to depression. The third key assumption is infections. Infections can cause abnormality. For example 14% of scizophrenia cases are linked to the fact that they was a flu virus in the womb which let to abnormality. The next assumption is genetics. This is when abnormality has a genetic basis. It was found that in 48% of twins who had schzophrenia had a chance of develpeing the condition.
