I had 2 in my book but I had to add another one cause it was only hitting 500 words and the evaluation was so poor :/

Do any of you have any/know of links to classification of /problems of diagnosing SZ essays? Or just advice of what to put in it? I'm getting really confused about how to do it? (Also will they ask you about them both together or could you get a full question on just one of them?)

You have to talk about reliably and validity if that's what you mean?

I'm doing depression, and yeah I believe it is reliability and validity. So, begin with the issue of the classification/diagnosis, why it is problematic, and then the reliability and validity point. That's what I got taught :smile:

Damn, how did you manage to teach yourself?

Haha! Well, I've done the whole course by myself (my teachers aren't great - we just watched movies - so I didn't go to their lessons) so I thought I'd do topics I find interesting because, either way, I'd be doing them by myself. It's not very difficult really. Just go through the AQA book and write notes, supplementing them with information from other sources online :smile:

With the Hovland-Yale model could we get an outline and evaluate the actual model or will it always be an application question (10marks)?

Damn I praise you! It seems quite challenging! I am struggling so bad rn with my teachers help.. And yeah, I hate it when teachers purely only put on movies or the such, like I need to be learning and doing exam papers?!?!

Soo were you doing addiction then? Then switched to media? What else did you learn?

You could get
Outline the Hovland model (4)
Discuss one or more explanations for the effective of television in persuasion (4+6) - Hovland or Elaboration likelihood model.

I think it is possible.

I was wondering how many marks I would get on the gender schema theory (20 mark essay) if I outlined it quite well (outline out of 4) , wrote about 1 study and evaluated it's methodological issues ( i didn't even know who carried out the study so I just said "research found"). I had no clue what else to say so I mentioned that the gender schema theory relies on observational studies and evaluated the use of them, and then said it was deterministic and explained it - don't even think it's deterministic lmao. What marks do you think I would get on it? Im stressing so much because I know I'm gonna flop unit 4 as I have a Chem exam on the same day 😭
