Hey, I am doing aggression, was wondering could they possibly ask a question on social learning theory, deindividuation and institute aggression separately or would they word only as outline social psychological theory ??

lol they can ask you those separately. They did last year, and just asked students to discuss institutional aggression.

But I'm not sure about deindividuation and SLT. Somewhere i once read that they both come under the same thing and you can answer with either/or. But, I'm not sure where i read that or if it was true. I

A question asking to outline one social psychological explanation of aggression is possible and has been asked before.

They can ask a question on institutional aggression specifically (they did that last year), but a question wouldn't specifically mention SLT or deindividuation (they're listed together on the specification). If for example it asks "outline one social psychological theory of aggression " you can talk about either of them. It says this in the AQA book too.

YES! that's exactly what i think i read a while back, and what i was trying to get at earlier--thanks

For PSYA4, Do you need IDA points, would IDA get you marks?

IDA isn't needed. You can still use it as AO2 though!!!!

Struggling with schiz atm. Any tips/model essays?

I don't study it (unlike almost everyone.) I do, OCD, Media, Bio Rhythms, Aggression and gender. I don't really have any essays to share, as they're all handwritten. I can take a look at some of your essays or give advice though

So all I'd say apart from what I've attached is I think your essay just needs to be more structured. By linking your paragraphs this will really help make your entire essay more cohesive and clear. Ultimately what you want to do is tell a logical story. So maybe this supports, this supports, but then this piece of research says otherwise. And further casting doubt is the lack of applicability to all genders blabla. I hope I'm making some sense lool

Also sorry for my shorthand in the image! I do a lot of arrows and stuff :s
