AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

Yeah definitely 4 marks you've elaborated on your points and named correct ethical issues

ahh i hope to god

Caro was A
Other person B
negative effects as body's fight or flight is set off by things in environment. More stress due to characterises (hostility etc) so more hormones such as corticosteroids are released and so over time can suppress immune system and lead to stress related illness and CHD
Something along those lines

For the daily hassles research, I talked about Bouteyre (depression vs. daily hassles) AND Gervais (nurses and their diaries), but Bouterye first?

Will they mark both or just the first one I wrote? Because my answer on Gervais was better...

How many marks was this? I only wrote about debriefing and right to withdraw WHEN debriefed, think that was enough?!?!?!

Ohh I put the other person at hardy, so is that wrong?

No could still be correct as your comparing them right?x ) as long as you referred to the other person as well (Carol-type a)

Wasn't Bouteyre a life change? The transition from school to uni?

For the 12 marker, I spoke about drugs( anti-depressants, anti-anxiety), ECT and Psychosurgery. Then I gave 2 evaluation points for each, so 6 in total.

I don't understand why people are talking about BZ's. That's for stress management not abnormalities

Overall the exam went well

Yeah I put Caro as type A and then in the second part I wrote about rosenman et al and kobasa☺️

Did ANYONE else talk about the Exhaustion stage of the Genera Adaptation Syndrome model, to explain Janet's stress? As her build up of responsibilities would lead to higher average levels of arousal, and so cause her to feel stressed. I also talked about lack of control (Marmot's study). How many marks should I expect for this Question?? thanks

Should be fine
And I found the exam okay x made some stupid mistakes!
Just hoping the won't add up
Wbu? X

BUMP someone answer please i beg

Wrote about Gervais (nurses) and Flett (social support & daily Hassels)

What did you guys write for the daily hassles question? I completely forgot research into it.

No I personally didn't but it looks correct to me
Especially since you added a relevant study so if not 4/4 then 3/4
4/4 as long as you engaged with the stem

Yeah same, I just Gervais and his nurses study. Did you mention how uplifts counteracted daily hassels? I also included Bouteyre et al.

what's the stem?? And is the GAS model on spec? Not convinced I'll be credited if not
