Hi , I know the psych 3 exam is gone but if you could answer this i would be very grateful. This explanation plural thing has caused a lot of confusion, if lets say you talked about 1 explanation but your evaluation was detailed does this hinder the amount of marks you can get for just the 16 marks of evaluation?

Anyone have a model essay for 'Discuss one or more explanations for the effectiveness of television in persuasion'?


It's not really an essay... A question like that is mostly application..

Really? So then would you include explanations such as the cultivation theory, Hovland-yale model and Elaboration likelihood model?

it is the longest most complicated topic and apparently the hardest and i don't know any of it and it's pretty much impossible to learn it all to a good standard in the time i have, but i've started it now so i'm just going for it haha. i dont wanna risk doing media as i looked at the spec and it's even more alien to me than addiction :tongue:

Do we need to know about concurrent, face and construct validity for research methods?


Yes
And the definition of validity.

For the June 2014 paper.
What is meant by validity?
How could the psychologist measure the validity of the questionnaire?

Jan 2013.
What is meant by internal validity?

I think they might ask it as they didn't last year.

JAN 2011

A01 - 4 marks Candidates who do this could offer an explanation such as uses and gratifications theory, cultivation theory, social learning theory. It is also likely that candidates will outline the Hovland-Yale model of persuasion or the elaboration likelihood model.

A02- 8 marks
Evaluation will depend on the explanation(s) outlined for AO1 marks. Evaluation can take the form of studies which relate to particular explanation; methodological/ ethical criticisms of studies; contrast/comparison of one explanation with another. Examiners should be prepared to credit any material which specifically evaluates explanations for the effectiveness of television in persuasion.

Does anyone have an essay or essay plan for classification and diagnosis of schizophrenia? I'm really struggling with this, I find it the hardest out of all essays. Please help!

I wrote this as a01 please tell me this is fine

Evolutionists argue that the reproductive challenges faced by our ancestors can explain aggressive behavior seen in people today. A male can never be certain unless they are the father of their wife's children unless they prevent her from having other sexual relationships with other males. This can explain why male sexual jealousy is often cited as a cause for domestic violence.

One aspect of the evolutionary explanation for human aggression is sexual jealousy and infidelity. Daly and Wilson argued that males have evolved several strategies to deter a female from committing from infidelity which ranges from vigilance(watching their every move) to violence. This is all attributed to male sexual jealousy stemming from paternal uncertainty.

You can say how they'd use the ELM to make persuasion more likely mentioning things like confident speakers, attractive actors (H-Y model) or focusing on facts and features when targeting a knowledgeable audience, making the conveyed message personally relevant (ELM), etc.

You can cite evidence to illustrate what can be effective, for example "a study found that alcoholics were more receptive to anti-drinking ads with celebrities than with facts of the harmful effects of alcoholism. Therefore an anti-drinking ad should use celebrities to convey the factual information as the message becomes more personally relevant with the use of famous individuals they know and like, making persuasion more likely as a result."

Or using the H-Y model you could mention how a study found that the use of moderate fear was more effective at persuading people. Anti-drinking campaigns can therefore arouse fear by using graphic images to depict the harmful effects of too much drinking.

Hopefully this answers your question! :smile:
