AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

would you take a picture and post it on here? would be SO helpful

Celebrity worship is A01 for intense fandom. Research into intense fandom would be a study to support. AO2. For me its Maltby study.

Chi squared = nominal data and independent groups.
Spear mans rho = at least ordinal data and relationships
Mann Whitney = at least ordinal, differences, independent groups
Wilcoxon = at least ordinal, differences, repeated measures.

I managed to condense RM's to an A3 page , so there's not actually that much, you'll probably remember it all in the exam 😆

So you would include the celebrity attraction scale by Maltby and evaluate that, then talk about stalking etc?

What do you include for intense fandom? is that about stalking?

From the mark scheme from June 2015
Outline the findings of one or more studies of intense fandom.

AO1 = 4 marks In the Specification ‘intense fandom’ includes celebrity worship and celebrity stalking. There are a variety of studies from these areas,
eg: Maltby et al (2001) – links between celebrity worship and psychological wellbeing. Maltby used CAS (celebrity attitude scale) and GHQ (general health questionnaire) and found that scores on the intense personal and borderline pathological sub-scales correlated positively with anxiety and depression scores. Maltby (2004) found in a sample of 372 people aged 18 – 47 less than 2% were considered to be borderline pathological on the CAS. James (2008) found over two thirds of stalkers who attempted to attack British royals were mentally ill, 48% showing psychotic behaviour. McCutcheon (2006) found that college students who reported insecure attachments as children were more likely to condone celebrity stalking. Mullen et al (1999) – found different motives in five types of stalkers

This help?

Unit 3: gender, relationships and aggression
Unit 4: schizophrenia, media psychology and research methods

Yes thank you, so intense fandom basically links to borderline pathological attraction and stalking?
