HELP PLEASE: If there were a 12 mark on aggression for neurotransmitters and hormones , could you just talk about neurotransmitters and not hormones? This is for a 12 marker

Biological therapies, or classification n diagnosis? I think they're most likely?

Original post by Georginarosee

Okay thank you.
I've talked about validity and reliability + some studies and I have mentioned gender bias and ethical issues.

What are your predictions for depression?

Biological therapies came up last year (on the replacement paper) so I highly doubt it will come up again as an essay.

It depends on how its worded if it explicitly says both you need to do both, if it says atleast one do one.

Unless it specified two different biological explanations of aggression then yes definitely! It would be likely to say "one or more". Just make sure you have enough information but I'm sure you will for neurotransmitters :smile:

Then so for 8 mark evaluation, it would be 2 a02 points and 1 ida

To what extent is it ok to abbreviate in the essays? Is using EP/EZ ok?
Also does AO2 count as evaluating the studies?

I've been doing mocks at home, in timed conditions no notes, and i always pause the time after 30 mins (one essay) and take a hand break for like 2 mins but i realised i wont even have time to do that in the exam! I do sleep in like 32 mins usually, relationships in 26 mins and aggression in 28. That gives me like 4 mins to check over and NO RESTING TIME LOOL! My hand needs to go gym tbh.

is AO2 criticism of the study and AO3 IDAS? I'm confused about this because really some of the criticisms and IDAS are the same like the exact.

I would still do both but obviously cut down the content with fewer supporting studies

I thought that as well but that is what Loopa has predicted. Going to revise it now.
I'm also revising biological explanation and psychological explanations- even though it came up last year on the original (don't think many people got that paper)
I hope issues of classification and diagnosis comes up.
