You and me both, hahaha! Just get some revision in today when you can, just do anything, you never know what you could end up remembering when you're actually doing the exam


I've been doing 8 hours a day at the weekends for the past couple of weeks and Nopeee nothing is going in
What would be the answer to? Obviously Freud but I don't know how I would write this one?!

Describe how the developmental approach could explain phobias
Well who will be joining me in resitting this next year because I'm pretty sure it's what I'll have to do 😂

You would say something along the lines of " The developmental approach can explain phobias in terms of a defense mechanism"
Then you would give the example in Freud by stating how he displaced his phobia on his father as he was afraid of castration. You also say that the blinkers and the black bits around the horses mouth represented his fathers glasses and moustach, An answer like this in more detail and referred back to the question should be enough to get the marks. Hope i helped!
They'd never put both psychodynamic and behaviourist in section c in the same paper would they? I cba to learn the perspectives:s-smilie:

Doubtful, behaviourist came up in 2014 so I'm sure it won't come up again this time anyway. I'm focusing on psychodynamic out of them two

milgram is a controlled observation
the participants thought it was an experiment
but there was no IV changed therefore it was an observation

In thigpen and cleckley they conducted interviews with eve which is a self report and in milgram observation was used because the researcher was observing the person who was giving the electric shocks to the learner.

Thigpen is self report from the 100 hours of interviews with Eve, hypnosis and the projective tests (ink blots and human figures)

Observations were used in Milgram by Milgram observing the participants behaviours - emotional responses and he also interviewed participants after the study
What time is it tomorrow?
