AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

Scroll to see replies

You can use IDA in PsyA4 for the psychopathology section. So depression, schizophrenia, and phobic disorders. Their exam questions are virtually laid out like PSYA3 exans

Yeah, I was thinking that.

This is what you get by having half qualified teachers.. My teacher specifically told us we couldn't use it but I've looked at AQA markschemes and you're right 🙄🙄

You can use IDA but its not necessary is the difference between PSYA3 and PSYA4, so that's probably why your teacher said not to use them - they're not necessary, so it's better to focus on other points

That said, they would still get marks

For "theories for the formation of relationships" are they guaranteed to only ask for one theory or two theories? I have need/satisfaction theory + similarity theory but don't know if it's worth memorizing both.

We don't have to do questions in any order right? We just write the number and do whichever? Eating behaviour is my weak point atm so want to do that last

Usually they ask for 'one or more', or at the most they'd specify two. They may not even be specific - just ask you to discuss theories, without specifying a number. I wouldn't ever do more than that, and they wouldn't ever ask for three specifically, there'd be far too little time to give an effective answer about three

For those doing gender.. Are you going to revise Kohlberg's theory and Gender Schema? I don't know if I should (I'd rather not tbh lol not a big fan of them), is it likely for these essays to come up?

They can ask for two or more. Nothing stopping them. Usually you would do one full essay, as you normally would, and add on a little bit more of AO1.

That being said, you can kill two birds with one stone by mentioning the sexual selection and reproduction research as part of the Sociobiological theory.

Lol the timing for PSYA3 is so tight, looking up once can literally cost you a grade

Train forearms before PSYA3 a few barbell curls and you should finish in time

Does anyone revising Understanding of Others have any supporting / opposing studies, in particular ones with methodological issues? I have one study but with no issues and then just a ton of IDA...
