Hopefully you got 72/72 then!

That was indeed a fairly decent paper but I personally may have messed the last question up :c So pissed off right now

did the question say who was most likely to resist conformity or who was most likely to conform?


It said who is most likely to resist the pressure to conform
How many marks can you drop and still get 100 ums???

Wtf swear it was the kid who wore lucky socks was more likely to conform?? And that was zach?


Zach had external locus of control so he was more likely to conform, Kieran had internal locus of control so he is more likely to resist pressures to conform

ok so thats kinda offensive to people who work really hard to achieve good grades for the subject? You don't gain anything out of putting other people and their efforts down so please stop. Some people find the subject really hard and rightly so as it depends on your abilities. It's not a 'fake subject' and my other subjects are considered 'hard subjects', it just depends on your ability doesn't it?

it depends on the grade boundaries, they'll put them up a week before results are out if I'm not mistaken, maybe a couple of days before
For the question on Janet, about having a new project, planning her daughter's wedding, and planning her family holiday, and why she was feeling stressed..was the answer due to life events, and then Holmes and Rahe study?
will i lose any marks if i stated the wrong name for the researcher?? i heard they don't mark negatively right?
does anyone know if any marks can be given if you wrote points in your essay plan? :\

Nah I thought it was to do with workload of control so Johansson or marmot study

Yeah it is right as they might get ttraumatised or somethinf to something they didn't agree to


Thank you! :smile:

This was hardest question imo.
I wasn't sure and said lack of control (backed up by marmot) and The General adaptation model by hans Selye coz of increased arousal levels but I'm honestly not sure
Overall, this paper was actually good. Enjoyed both papers

Yeah, same, was really confusing. Didn't know what they were asking for. Do you think i would get credit for writing about life events?
Quite a few people in my year missed the first question :p:S
I thought the 3 markers on informational and normative were a bit stretched :/
I wrote zach was more likely to conform and that janet was stressed due to workload?? I also wrote about systematic desensitisation instead of sit XD
Generally I feel like the paper focused on the very particular aspects of each unit which was really annoying.

I thought the first paper was easier and this one was to try get people to flop to make it even? I hope they don't do that for the Nazi History paper on Wednesday D:

No, you should have reffered to research about workplace stress, so karasek's job-strain model and marmot et al supporting this. She lacked control in her job and it was also high demand = high strain job and very stressful. You could also use papers like Johansson too :smile:

Me too. I found all the studies I'd revised really hard to apply to these questions. >.<

No, i think your right actually haha. It was talking about control and things and workplace, so not really life events.
