Probably I'm thinking... It's gonna be split on bio therapies/ explanations or just a straight classification and diagnosis one.

Really? But bio explanations came up in the R paper, and bio therapies came up for the normal paper.. I'm hoping for psychological explanations or classification and diagnosis

Think about it if they put psychological explanations / therapies on it would be so predictable!

How do you structure answers that talk about discussing research? ''e.g. discuss research into stalking''? Is the ao1 outlining studies and ao2 evaluating it methodologically like at AS? i'm confusing myself :/

Either do what you said or - theories (AO1) and studies (AO2)

That's true. Guess we have to revise every single essay thoroughly just in case. :frown:

Hopefully they're nice to us this year!

Guys can I include an ethical issues paragraph in my evaluation for biological therapies of depression, or will it not be marked due to IDA not being needed?

Something like:

Another issue is thatpatients in some cases cannot give fully informed consent to ECT as they are soseverely depressed that they do not really understand the implications of thetreatment. This is often cited as a serious ethical issue when using such a controversialform of treatment. However, it could be argued that it is just as unethical towithhold treatment which might be beneficial and actually save a depressedindividual’s life.

How risky would it be to do just Hovland Yale for all persuasiveness of tv ads (not do elaboration likelihood or any other one)?

For depression there are 3 psychological explanations for it. Can I just make notes and revise 2, for example cognitive factors and sociocultural factors instead of brain overload learning 3 when only 2 explanations are required at minimum in exam
