The question said explanation(s) so explaining one is fine or you could explain 2

No it didn't, it literally said "explanations" - you needed more than one.

IMPORTANT!

To those worrying about the explanation(S) question for addiction. I spoke to my teacher today (he is an examiner - as in he WRITES the exams for A2 Psych). He said that one would get away with sexual jealousy and infidelity for 4 marks (they would be treated as distinct explanations). He did admit that this was a tricky one but he said you did have to put both! Not just infidelity, for instance.

Thankyou! Wasn't sure if infidelity and sexual jealousy would count as 2 but sounds like it would, but I was right about what I said - you needed to write about both, or write about 2 aspects of group display!

Just quoting patrico_miguel here:

"IMPORTANT!

He said that one would get away with sexual jealousy and infidelity for 4 marks (they would be treated as distinct explanations).

Therefore, you can be certain you needed to write about sexual jealousy AND infidelity. You can't get away with writing about just one.

Anyone doing media?

For the evo aggression question i wrote a page about xenophobia and sports cause i didn't have time for warfare, so out of the 4 marks for AO1, how many do you reckon i lost?

YES! I completly mis-read the question because I felt so rushed and panicked! I did group displays by accident, but applied it to aggression in general... Did I complete balls that up? Or will it work

my teach says that it will be okay and we will still get marks for it

No, sexual jealousy (1st explanation) and sexual infidelity (2nd explanation). These would count as two explanations therefore would be fine for that question.
