OCR G542 Psychology Monday 18th May *OFFICIAL THREAD*

yh i think i got confused by the graph too i put no correlation but positive is right

oh thank god!! when i first read it i was like no this it too easy.... so then i properly read it but im not sure whether i over thinking it aha!

For ethics, I wrote as much as I could remember. I wrote informed consent, deception, they were made to feel as they'd no right to withdraw (because of the prods). Then at the end, I wrote how despite all ethical problems, they were debriefed at the end.

For the results, I wrote that 65% obeyed to 450 volts, 35% disobeyed as they only continued to 300 volts or more. Also said that all participants continued to at least 300 volts. For qual I wrote most showed signs of nervousness e.g. laughing fits, digging nails into flesh, etc. I also wrote that 3 participants experienced full blown seizures, one of which was so bad the experiment had to be stopped.

do you think's okay that I put that 3 had severe fits and one had a fit so severe they had to be removed, instead of seizures?

I spokeabout how they addressed possible ethical issues, so confidentiality participants details were not published eg age, gender, occupation and then also debriefing because participants were asked whether or not they would like to listen to the verbalisations they had made (basically I repeated what had previously came up on a markscheme)

do you think's okay that I put that 3 had severe fits and one had a fit so severe they had to be removed, instead of seizures?

I think you could be okay, it depends who is marking it, really. Even if you don't get a mark for it, you'll get marked for everything else.

Am I the only one who found Section A harder then section B & C?
I just really hope I got an A, I messed up on the Monkey study, Griffiths & Reicher & haslam. I lost around 12 marks just there alone so leaving me with a best of 48/60, take into account some other mistakes around 44? I think I did really well on the other 30/36? & 20/24? Really hoping I didn't mess up to bad on the section A and some of my guesses were right. Would be really gutted if I don't get an A :'(

Yeah my textbook says violent convulsions, not seizures, anyways. I don't think it matters it's the same thing!

thank you!! that makes me feel a lot better! i have just always remembered it as fits haha but glad it isn't standardised as seizures in all textbooks

This was the grade boundaries from last year!

81 = A so this was slightly lower than usual

I've just realise I wrote about the Piliavin victims rather than models and I've never felt so stupid. Seriously hoping it doesn't affect my overall grade, I really need an A this year . What percentage of the final grade is this exam worth?

70%

That was the same thought process as me I was starting talking about correlation then was like wait there's a negative number so I just wrote about the positive part of the graph lol probs gonna be wrong cus no one else I know did the same 😢
