AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

Is anyone else retaking unit 2 and is therefore also doing units 3 and 4?

Guys could Asch's study be used to talk about minority influence? and would Moscovici et al be considered a variation of Asch's study?

The cognitive approach assumes that our irrational thoughts are the reason for abnormality. It was later looked upon by Ellis who developed the ABC model. The A is the activating process. The B is the belief that is either rational or irrational and the C is the consequence which is rational or irrational. For example the A could be a dog. The B could be to be rational and think it's cute or be irrational and think it will kill you. The C is to actually run away which is irrational or to go over and strike the dog. Beck de keeps the cognitive triad which he suggested is what people who are depressed think. The first part is negative thoughts about yourself e.g. You hate yourself, negative thoughts about everyone e.g. Everyone hates me and negative thoughts about the world e.g. The world hates me. The cognitive approach assumes that this is all a way of thinking and that it is possible to simply cure abnormality by not thinking in a certain way and being rational...

Whoa er
1) developing a good relationship - it is important they have mutual trust and respect as later the psychologist will end up having arguments with the clients to challenge their thoughts lol

2) Identifying negative thoughts - client encouraged to keep a diary and record all the bad, bad thoughts in their heads .

3) Reviewing the diary, monitoring and challenging the thoughts - (arguing time) therapist now challenges the results. The argument is strong so it is heated. They argue until the client loses (literally) and they admit they're thinking wrong so they change.

That sounds good, I compared it to the text book. Is cognitive only just Beck's negative triad and Ellis ABC model?

Anyone else who wants to join the whatsapp group pm numbers

I forgot some people have exams in the morning. Don't pull an all nighter. You'll be falling asleep in your exam. Get at least 4 hours sleep.
