I put B for the first question stupidly :/ and also wrote about systematic desensitization for the 12 marker, so i've already dropped 13 marks :frown:

Did terrible in that one

I think I might have seen once on a mark scheme stating that if a student has written about the wrong thing but has written a detailed answer on another topic by accident then a few marks can be awarded. I have no idea if the mark scheme will be this generous, but I wouldn't worry about it too much as some grade boundaries still allow you to lose 22 marks to get an A.

Did anyone write that Tom was most likely to conform on the conformity question? He wasn't really part of the main question but it said Tom would go if both Zach and Kieran went and he wouldn't go if they didn't

I put he had an external locus of control because he is not taking the responsibility to go himself but relying on the other going but everyone is saying it was Zach and his Lucky sock so I'm not sure

Overall, okay though I know I've dropped a few marks on some of the 2/4 mark questions. Think I messed up the why is lack of informed consent an issue one (what did you say?).
Yes, I think that is fine. I said something along those lines :smile:

Trying to work out if this paper was harder or easier compared to last year, so I know what the grade boundaries may be like. Any idea?

it was much harder... i envisage the boundaries to be low.... and you were right about informed consent i believe on the ethics question. i wrote about following up the participants with questionnaires and psychologist (maybe wrong not sure) and presumptive consent from BPS :smile:

You?

no I disregarded tom's existence completely. I thought, "sheep, conformist little ant", and ripped out his name from paper in fury. Only zach and kieran were mentioned in my answer. Zach was a deluded fool, and oddity and most importantly a coward. Kieran was a bravehearted knight. A real gentleman. A winner and a lion amongst sheep.

You freaking made my day !! Had two exams today was hella stressed but now I cant stop laughing XD

I still wrote Zach and his lucky sock for external :wink:

but for the question about who was least likely to conform I wrote Kieran and then that Tom was most likely

For the Janet question,I wrote about life changes because if it was workplace stress then why did the question talk about her holiday and the wedding. I wrote how the changes require psychic energy (Holmes and Rahe). I don't know if this is right 😕 also they said at work she had a 'new' project so yeah.

You?

Hopefully you're right then.
It asked something like why i.c. should be gained, didn't it? I said 'ppts need to know what will be expected of them and what the study will involve'... No idea if that answers the question though.
On the Q on how to deal with ethical issues I spoke of gaining presumptive or prior general consent. Then mentioned maintaining confidentiality by using a fake name (when publishing findings) because I panicked a bit :s-smilie:

That bit is wrong. What you wrote sounds much better tbh, looking at my notes on this now :smile:

Last year that would've just been a B, year before it was a C.

It said who would 'resist' pressure to conform, not who would conform! So you don't need to talk about Tom. It was only there to throw you off!

Posted from TSR Mobile

I wrote about that aswell (mostly that) but at the end I just wrote tom was most likely
