AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

according to the 2014 grade boundaries for unit 1 to get an A you need 54/72
and for unit 2 you need 50/72 any one reckon the grade boundaries would be lower this year?

On the difference between conformity and obedience, would saying something like 'being influenced by group/taking direct order from authority figure' be okay?

For some reason, that question threw me a bit.

Why did Janet have low control?

guys i wrote about anti-depressant anti-psychotic anti-anixiety drugs and ect please say thats rightD;

No the one after that one was another one to do with dealing with ethical issues. it was after the Milgram not obtaining informed consent qs.

I wrote that
Obedience is to do with to a legitimate Authority figure instructing you to do something while conformity is from peers

I think higher for unit 1 (55) and probably 49 for unit 2

It was because she had high workload and low control. Additionally she had home/work role conflict.

For evaluation of psychoanalysis
is talking about strengths fine? Cause i talked about bergin who found 80% benefited from the therapy + supported the working through technique and found benefits for the longer and intensive treatment was.
limitations is theoritical limitations as its based on freuds ideas so if that is flawed so must the therapy.
therapist may implant false memories into patient so is a problem suggesting patients msy actually not have repressed memories.
then said another weakness is finding out these repressed memories can cause distress and psychological harm and provoke negative reactions such as depression/suicide

Is this fine for 4 marks. Cause i think i wrote outside the box for a bit of my final points but then i did add an asterisk and add my final points at the side of the page is that kl?

do you think i can get rewarded marks for the q on janet about planning her daughters weddings, planning a family holiday etc, i can get any marks for saying the process of the stress. I mistakenly wrote about the hpa following the structure of a similar question in a past paper

i put b but loads of people put c?

Why did Janet have low control?

Her new project was reliant upon other staff meeting targets

Can someone please tell me why Janet had low control? I said she had a high workload due to the extra project and was experiencing life changes due to daughters wedding and planning holiday. I would have thought that she had a higher control because of the responsibility of this extra project at work.
